Product History

Five Nations (2005) is a 160-page Eberron supplement for both players and DMs. In it, the heart of Khorvaire is revealed in glorious detail, with comprehensive overviews of each of the Five Nations, full-color maps, plenty of plot hooks and organizations, local color for creating a character from a particular nation, and new prestige classes that exemplify each nation. The result is a wonderful mix of history, travel guide, and rules crunch. It’s obviously most useful for those who adventure in Eberron, but the format also serves as a good guide to creating a campaign atlas for your own home campaign (assuming you don’t mind filing off some serial numbers).

Player’s Guide to Eberron

Secrets Every Hero Should Know

What does an elf from Shae Cairdal know about the nation of Aerenal? How do you play a half-orc from the Shadow Marches? What does your character know about the Blood of Vol or the royal line of Galifar? The Player’s Guide to Eberron answers these questions and more. This companion to the Eberron Campaign Setting explores the world from the player’s point of view and presents exciting new options for Eberron characters.

Player’s Guide to Eberron describes important locations, events, organizations, races, and features of the EBERRON campaign setting, organized in an accessible and easily digestible format so that players can use the book as a handy reference guide. In addition, this book provides new feats, prestige classes, spells, and magic items.

Hop aboard a skycoach and hurl yourself into adventure amid the soaring towers of Khorvaire’s most spectacular city. Plunge into perilous aerial battles miles above the earth. Embark on deadly expeditions through the bowels of the city. Arrange clandestine meetings in shadowy taverns and undertake daring quests to faraway lands. For those bold enough to seek it, the City of Towers promises limitless excitement, danger, fame, and fortune.

Inside this book, you’ll find all the details you’ll need to explore the awe-inspiring city of Sharn—a cornerstone of the Eberron campaign setting:

  • Descriptions of over 100 city districts
  • More than a dozen new guilds and organizations to help or hinder characters, including the Deathsgate Guild, the Circle of Song, and the Boromar Clan
  • More than three dozen fully developed NPCs ranging from specific individuals to generic citizens
  • New feats, spells, prestige classes, magic items, and monsters
  • Detailed maps of Sharn and various locations around the city

Eberron: The Forge of War

The Last War Never Ended

The Treaty of Thronehold stopped the massive march of armies across Khorvaire, but it didn’t put an end to espionage, unrest, and border skirmishes among the nations of Eberron. And no treaty could ever end the horrors that haunt the dreams of every soldier, spy, and adventurer whose life was shattered by a century of warfare.

This supplement for the EBERRON campaign setting presents everything you need to bring the Last War to life in your game, whether you’re playing a character who fought in the war or running adventures that take place during the century of conflict. New character options let you explore battlefield backgrounds, the magic of war, battle scars, and the benefits of working as a team. Campaign seeds help the Dungeon Master introduce the themes and events of the Last War in a current-day campaign or send characters back to their wartime days through flashbacks or actual travel through time. A comprehensive overview of the Last War provides all you need to know about the events, armies, battlefields, and themes of Eberron’s greatest clash of nations.

Product History

The Forge of War (2007) is a 160-page supplement that acts as a history of the hundred-year Last War. It serves as a guide for characters who were affected by that war, and examines the ways in which a major conflict affects the people who manage to live through it.
