Hey #DnD folks, what is the equivalent of Celestia/The Nine Hells/The Abyss in #Eberron? anyone know where I can read about it? The primary forces of good and evil that affect Eberron are those native to Eberron: the Silver Flame on the Celestial side and the Lords of Dust/Overlords on the Fiendish side. The Daelkyr and the Dreaming Dark are the primary evil extraplanar forces.

There isn't a large extraplanar celestial force that actively intervenes in Eberron. Most celestials feel that by tending to their plane, they are shaping the multiverse; they don't need to mess with the mudball. Here's something related to that. https://t.co/AI54xF64x8

Meanwhile, here's an article that talks about the role of warlocks, including Celestial warlocks; it suggests the Silver Flame, the Undying Court, or a particularly active celestial from one of those previous planes as possible patrons. https://t.co/92A4Y24ixo

This is great, Keith. We’re kicking off a campaign in Sharn next week (thanks!) and one of my characters is a shulassakar (reskinned Aasimar) with her couatl ancestral tie as her patron. Her tie to the Silver Flame is all about how the young races have screwed it all up. Shulassakar for the win!

What sort of magic items? What rarity? Sharn has a Cannith enclave and Jorasco houses. Beyond that, you have a number of places—like the Mystic Market in Clifftop (WGtE p. 151)—that are called out as a potential source of magic items.

I always struggle with cost of items\rarity issues. Characters always want to buy them. Page 41 of the WGtE discusses this. Common and uncommon items may well be available in Sharn, that doesn't mean it's always easy to find exactly the thing you're looking for; there's no one-stop shop for uncommon items.

— Keith Baker #SHUX (@HellcowKeith) August 28, 2018

Especially when it comes to uncommon items, buying an item can in some ways BE an adventure; I'd emphasize the factor of going to different shops, perhaps debating with someone in the Bazaar (are you sure you're getting a quality product), and having interesting proprietors.

— Keith Baker #SHUX (@HellcowKeith) August 28, 2018

Beyond this, it's always up to the DM to decide if a particular item does exist. You're always in your rights to say "No one's figured out a commercially viable way to make that yet." And RARE items are RARE, and not easily purchased.

The Zilargo Embassy is offering Helms of Telepathy at dirt cheap prices. #AdventureHook But does the Trust get to listen in on the thoughts of anyone wearing one of these cheap Helms of Telepathy…?

I am going to DM a 5e Ebberon adventure tomorrow for a group who knows nothing of the setting. Do you have a recommendation? Are you looking for a recommendation about the adventure? How to introduce the group to #Eberron? Or both? And is it a one-shot or the start of a campaign?

— Keith Baker #SHUX (@HellcowKeith) September 27, 2018

All the above! The one shot may launch a campaign. I’m an old Advanced and Second edition guy, that 5th reeled back in. I’ve always been a Dragonlance and Realms guy, but listening to you talk about Ebberon has me hooked!! If you want to draw players into the world and they WANT a little reading, I'd consider giving them the first chapter of the Wayfinder's Guide, which gives a good overview of the things that define Eberron. I'd also think strongly about the flavor you'd like long term…

— Keith Baker #SHUX (@HellcowKeith) September 28, 2018

The Wayfinder's Guide presents a few other approaches; you could do a classic Clifftop Adventurer's story if you want to focus on pulp & seeking lost relics in dangerous places, or Callestan for gritty noir.

Is there a finance industry in Eberron? How has magic, particularly divination magic, impacted it? I know there’s banking, but what about investing? If there are any books, be they supplement or prose, that deal with this, I’d love to read them!Excellent question. It's something we've suggested that both the Aurum and Kundarak are involved in, but so far it hasn't been explored in depth. It's something I'd like to include when I delve deeper into widespread magic.

in Wayfarer’s Guide, you make several mentions of the giant owls that live in sharn. any extra information about them you can share? Giant owls were brought to Sharn to participate in the Race of Eight Winds, and a population has existed in Sharn for hundreds of years. Per 3.5 SRD, giant owls have Int 10, Wis 14, and speak Common and Sylvan. https://t.co/LqVuRdPu6F

— Keith Baker #SHUX (@HellcowKeith) September 24, 2018

So giant owls are intelligent and capable of speech. Mage Hand — either through an item or simply learned by the owl — can allow them to manipulate objects effectively. So they're not common, but there's a few around in the Bazaar (Middle Dura).

Yes, lightning rails have been around for over a century.

Found updates to the 5E Eberron Guide today. 2 questions for @JeremyECrawford / @HellcowKeith / whoever knows:
1) Saw changes to the Marks of Finding & Healing. Any other changes I missed? The change log just said “dragonmarks”
2) Why were humans removed from the Mark of Finding? 1. No other changes. 2. The idea is to say that heirs of the Mark of Finding can *appear* human, but they all have some measure of orcish blood; it fits the history of the region, and from a mechanical perspective, it's cleaner.

How are LGBT+ folks treated on Khorvaire? Asking for a friend. Changelings are gender fluid. Warforged forge their own identities. Kalashtar and Valenar can be tied to spirits that differ from their physical bodies. IMO, the people of the Five Nations are familiar and comfortable with the full spectrum of sexuality and identity.
