By bringing the planes into phase they would be able to physically manifest and rule Eberron without the need for physical bodies. In the normal course of the world, this option is defeated {presumably by the heroes} and they fall back on the longer term option that is represented by the colonization of Riedra through the Inspired.In the Secret's of Sarlona book there is an event towards the end of the Sundering where the arcane Wars almost free a powerful fiend that is imprisoned under Syrkarn {the nation to the east of Khiavaar}... which results in the creation/arrival of the Yuanti...driving the Quori out of that region. This event could have convinced the Trillith that thier plan of uniting the planes would result in the eventual destruction of both and the Turning {which the Quori are attempting to forestall}Reading some of HellCows {K. Baker} posts on the topic of the Dreaming Dark, this fits quite nicely into the vision of an epic, patient force that is working multiple plots towards a common and unified goal.Regarding the book... if you like the Eberron and its mix of grey as well as multiple factions vying for power, grab a copy. It shows Riedra to be a carefully constructed house of cards, that gets more stable the longer it stays in play. However the opportunity to work mischief is easy to come by for those who look for that sort of thing. It is a different feel for a society and the hidden agenda of the Quori can make for a very scary setting...scary like Children of the Corn scary. Its hard to slay the bad guys when most of them hide behind brainwashed innocents  :\</blockquote>
