[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 7749158, member: 6879661"] In the Birthright setting, the land is the source of arcane magical power, as nature is destroyed it reduces the magical energy of the land. The setting has far more in common with Athas in that regard. There is a distintive battle between civilization and magical power which the elves are able to circumvent. Yes Many Arrows is a good example. However one swallow doesn’t make a spring. Drow cities in the Realms don’t generally border and interact with surface kingdoms. Whereas there are 20 or so monstrous kingdoms bordering and interacting with regularly kingdoms. Birthright resembles Eberron in this regard. The magical bloodlines are not just a few scattered and rare races. They are the political elite that form the decision making and ruling class for the entire continent. It resembles Eberron in this regard as well. You’re also missing the big difference that Birthright is low magic, low power NPCs that has a totally different dynamic feel to the high magic realms.
