If an airship can be supported by either a fire or an air elemental, why can only a d’Lyrandar control the elemental when a d’Orien can control the air elemental for the lightning rail? For the same reason a Lyrandar can’t control a lightning rail. They don’t directly control the elemental; they use tools (Lightning Reins or a Wheel of Wind and Water) that amplify the power of a particular mark and are integrated with the specific vehicle.

The premise is that this is about more than simply “generating motive power.” The airship *moves through the air* and the elemental galleon *moves through water* — and air and water are the realm of the Mark of Storm. The lightning rail *moves over land* — and that is Passage.

The lightning rail and airship both use bound air elementals — but they use them to do two different things. It’s back to the point that it’s magic employed in an industrial fashion, but it’s still MAGIC. It’s not just controlling an elemental; it’s about what it accomplishes. So the Wheel of Wind and Water is a tool for *guiding a vehicle over water or through air* and as such, it’s the domain of Storm.

Both lightning reins and the wheel of wind and water do more than just control the elemental; they control the VEHICLE, and that’s where the different marks come into play.

There’s no one right way to pronounce Cyre. I picked up “SEER-ee” from Bill @slavicsek, but I am probably switching to “SEER” so my phone will stop freaking out. It’s possible the Mourning happened when Aureon said “Hey, Cyre” and his iPhone got confused.

hi still very new to exploring your setting(have read wayfinders and just got the Last War for my b day) and maybe it’s in the book and I haven’t seen it yet but what’s your take on Mind Flayers for your setting? Check out the section on the daelkyr in Chapter 6. Eberron’s mind flayers are the creations of the daelkyr Dyrrn the Corruptor, and are typically tied to the Cults of the Dragon Below. In Droaam, the city of Graywall has a mind flayer governor.

right, death and unconsciousness… When a changeling drops to zero hit points do they revert to their true form?

— Oliver – The Pen Slinger (@OliverKennett) November 30, 2019

The current rules specify that DEATH reveals a changeling… NOT unconsciousness. So just dropping to zero hit points isn’t enough.

Curious about this. Any first-time Eberron folk have something to weigh in here on Rising From the Last War? #dnd https://t.co/0XZtEKSxCY

Okay, finally back at a computer.

I really like the book, but sometimes it feels like it’s teasing more of the world than it’s actually telling me about it.

I will say that I’m not through all of the book yet, so I’m guessing some more information will come out.

If you want more depth on areas there’s an entire line of sourcebooks from 3rd edition that gp onto all aspects of the world. Naturally the mechanics in those books won’t be useful, but the setting information would be.

How much psychic damage does the Tsucora’s stinger do? It’s listed as 10 (3d10). For sure a typo. I'll make a note of it for possible errata.

No. They may use descriptive titles —“Munta the Gray” or “Haruuc Shaarat’kor” (crimson blade). If not, they will usually state tribe or allegiance—“Munta of Gantii Vus,” or “Tuura Dhakaan”.

question: i know the Dragonmarks of Eberron pass through bloodlines, but to they cease functioning if the bearer of the Dragonmark travels to, say, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Exandria etc?? #dnd The function of a dragonmark isn’t dependent on the world the bearer is currently on.
