I have a question about Dragonmarked naming conventions as it seems inconsistent based on which book you’re looking at. For the families within houses (Vown for example), how does the prefix work? Is it d’Vown? Vown d’Cannith? Either? I know Sivis/Tharashk vary. How *I* handle it is that each house has multiple families, but most outsiders don’t know the names. So Elaydren Vown Cannith calls herself Elaydren Cannith to outsiders and Elaydren Vown in the house. The d’ (d’Vown or d’Cannith) indicates that the person has a dragonmark.

If Sora Kell has daughters then who is the baby daddy or daddies? No one knows; it's part of their legend. It's presumed they all have different fathers.

The Chosen of Sarlona are bred to be hosts and have no choice. A human who allows a quori to possess them regains control if it leaves or is driven out; it can’t possess them again unless they allow it.

This is why the Quori use Mind Seed for especially important targets, as that doesn’t require permission… but it has its own risks.

a *hopefully* quick question. Who actually leads the Tairnadal? Is it a theocracy?It's not a simple question; I'll consider it for an IFAQ for a proper answer. But Tairnadal society is essentially an army. Leaders of bands report to leaders of clans, leaders of clans report to war leaders, and the council of war leaders consults with the Keepers of the Past.

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) June 16, 2020

The Keepers thus are influential advisors but not leaders. And each army is effectively a mobile city-state.

quick planes question – are wildfires as a renewal of the natural order Lammanian or Fernian? Both, just as you can find devils representing Tyranny in both Shavarath and Daanvi. Elementals in Lamannia represent fire-in-nature, but there are certainly spirits and elementals in Fernia that represent the role of fire as a cleansing force.

Can you explain how a skycoach works and the difference between them and the Lyrandar airships? Are they only in Sharn? Thanks, loving Eberron 5e so far! Sharn is located in a manifest Zone that enhances magic tied to flight or levitation. Skycoaches don’t use bound elementals, and their flight enchantments only function within Sharn; if you fly away from the city the coach will quickly crash.

I absolutely love the Eberron setting, but I am hoping you can clarify something for me. Does your new book “Exploring Eberron” clarify any details regarding “The Plane of Shadow”? I’m hoping to understand some differences between that and Mabar. The Plane of Shadow is primarily a 3.5 cosmology concept. It's a transitive plane, more like the ethereal and astral plane. Just like the Astral and Ethereal, it's not one of the 13 planes and doesn't have active powers, manifest zones, or the like.

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) September 24, 2020

Exploring Eberron doesn't mention the Plane of Shadow; it was never an important part of Eberron and it was dropped from 5E's interpretation of general cosmology, so I didn't see a reason to include it. SHADOWS come from Mabar, and that's generally what I'd use.

Btw,rumor has it it’s possible to migrate from Eberron to other worlds(like Forgotten Realms,for ex) through these planes. Is it any true? It’s up to the DM. If you’re playing with the multiverse, then yes, transitive planes could allow traffic (something called out back in 3.5). But a DM can also decide not to use other worlds in campaign.
