While keeping in mind that the entire domain reflects the darklord, so any changes to the darklord's history, temperament, or powers should also mean an equal change to the domain itself?Neither Eberron nor the Realms have as many problematic elements that Ravenloft did. Or at least, neither of those settings are built around those problematic issues in the same way that Ravenloft was. There are definitely issues in those settings, but you can fix those issues without having to reboot the setting. If you turn Xen'drik into something other than "Darkest Africa" with overtones of colonialism, it doesn't keep the rest of Eberron from having that post WWI-vibe. It doesn't even make Xen'drik unplayable. It would just become more "real."</blockquote>
