I’ve been loving the work you and the rest of the hosts have been doing on Manifest Zone! Question: where do you see Tabaxi in your Eberron? I have a Tabaxi Bard/Rogue in my campaign, and we’re looking to flesh out his background a bit. The simple answer is “Tabaxi live in Xen’drik.” More exotic possibilities: they were magebred as soldiers by House Vadalis; they’re shifters altered by being born in a Lamannian manifest zone; they’re house cats transformed by the Mourning.

If I ever use tabaxi in my #Eberron, it’ll be in a ruined city in the Mournland where the cats survived and were transformed into humanoids. And can’t stop singing. Whenever you pass through a doorway roll on a random table to see what scale the area is

1-5 normal human scale

6-10 slightly larger scale, normal human is effectively Small

11-19 much larger, normal human is effectively Tiny

20 nightmare, normal human is effectively vermin

Is King Boranel a guy who is popular with the ladies, does he womanize, ect as far as the whole not having a heir, maybe he does but it’s a bastard OR is he not like that at all? Boranel has many children; according to Five Nations, he "has outlived three wives and has eleven fiercely
independent children (six sons and five daughters)." It's simply that none of them are currently seen as living up to his legacy.

That seems reasonable. In our world, it’s not implausible for a sniper to hit a target up to 1,200 meters away — even farther than your warlock. Won’t be much use if an adventure takes place indoors or if you don’t know the enemy in advance, though…

How big are the storm spires and could they be attached to a Lyrandar airship or will I have to downsize?
Storm spires are eldritch machines, meaning their exact workings are up to the DM. Personally I'd say that there's never been a mobile one in the past, a Lyrandar artificer developing a spire that can be mounted in an airship is an interesting story.

I have a plot where an (unwilling) agent of the Dragon cults are being shaken down by the players for information. Im trying to find a magical ‘leash’ for the cults to yank back to punish the agent for being found out, but the only thing I can think of, having this blast of chaos energies surge from a tattoo on his head that turns him into a Dolgaunt variant doesnt quite fit in with the lore of the dolgaunt that I've been able to find. Would it make sense for a powerful iteration of The cults below to have this kind of failsafe?

Which power does this cultist serve? Orlassk might petrify a compromised minion. Kyrzin could have an ooze that consumes them from within. Dyrrn could turn them into something like a dolgaunt, sure. Have you read Exploring Eberron?

he’s a artificer being indirectly controlled by the Transcedent Flesh. he’s selling arms and armor to the Warforged of the Cogs who are being threatened and Harassed by Anti-WF factions (also supported by the cult) in order to remove the warforged as obstacles in a larger plot. essentially when the players press this guy for information the Powers that be in the cult are going to trigger something so he attacks the players as this cult specific thing. Like in the old Crime movies when the snitch gets killed just as the detective starts to press him.

— BeskarBear (@Bi_N3rd) September 17, 2020

Yeah, Transcendant Flesh could certainly trigger a transformation. You could use the statistics of a dolgaunt even if he's not an actual dolgaunt, just something similar.

I think my group may have misunderstood Debts: is the debt supposed to be we borrowed the 200gp for extra starting gold or is it supposed to b 200 gp to solve a problem? It’s supposed to be that you need 200 gp to solve a problem; you aren’t supposed to start with extra gold.

In the far western territories of The Shadow Marches lies a certain Slug Keep — what might a group of adventurers find upon exploration of it? Slugs!

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) May 25, 2020

Sentient slugs? With arms? Or just a vunch of small slugs?Delicious slugs! Redtail slugs are a delicacy in the Marches, and Slug Keep is the heart of the slug-farming industry. Rumors of giant acid-spitting war-slugs and of soldiers armed with acidic slug-throwers are most likely exaggerated.

One of my players asked if there were any canonical beach vacation places in khorvaire.

I haven’t seen mention of such things in my book collection. If there isnt such a place, where’d be a good place to set one? Stormhome is canonically the beach resort paradise. The first image is from the 4E ECS; the other is from the 3.5 Dragonmarked sourcebook and calls out the presence of Ghallanda resorts. pic.twitter.com/HnEY6njXnd
