People have already said it, but Xoriat is Eberron's counterpart to the Far Realms. You might want to look at the <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ebee/20050704a" target="_blank">Eberron Expanded article</a> discussing the Lords of Madness sourcebook.One point I'll make is that the daelkyr aren't the biggest, baddest things in Xoriat. They are simply the biggest, baddest things that have any interest in messing around with other worlds. When it comes to their humanoid form, here's a few of my thoughts...Not all daelkyr look alike. The suggestion in the ECG is a suggestion; it's a place to start. By comparison, Kyrzin is made out of slime & partially digested body parts. Among other things, I don't think a daelkyr will maintain it's Eberron-Form if it returns to Xoriat; I feel that it is a shape it takes to interact with Eberron, partially influenced by those it is interacting with. It looks humanoid because it's here to destroy humanoids. One possibility is that its form is also partially an illusion drawn from the mind of the viewer. YOU see it as a weirdly angelic human; a hobgoblin might see it as a weirdly angelic hobgoblin. it's the Vorlon effect.</blockquote>
