"Eberron" is also referred to as the Dragon Between. The world of Eberron has twelve moons some sages believe there is a thirteenth moon that has vanished or is invisible to the naked eye. The other two main continents are Sarlona (a continent ruled by quori, creatures from the Region of Dreams) and Argonnessen (a continent inhabited by dragons). Frostfell is an unexplored land of ice in the north. Due south is the jungle continent of Xen'drik, once ruled by an empire of giants that collapsed, now largely wilderness, with some areas under tribal dominion of the drow (with a polar continent to the south called Everice). Southeast is the small continent of Aerenal, ruled by elves. Mournland (Formerly Cyre, but now an uninhabited haunted zone.).Eberron underworld existing beneath the continents and oceans.Īdventure primarily takes place in the central region of Khorvaire known as the Five Nations. The material plane of Eberron is made up of six continents surrounded by oceans and a vast underworld. While Xoriat continues to drift closer and further from the material plane, the dimensional seals of the Gatekeepers keep it from becoming coterminous. Additionally, the plane of Xoriat has been sealed from influencing the material plane by the actions of the ancient Gatekeeper druids. This is due to an ancient catastrophe that knocked Dal Quor off it's orbit. The plane of Dal Quor currently does not influence the material world, stuck in its remote phase and unable to naturally draw closer to the material plane. Conversely, when an outer plane is as "far" from the material plane as possible, it is said to be "remote" and the material plane feels the absence of its influence. When an outer plane is as "close" to the material plane as it can be on the Astral Plane, it is said to be "coterminous" with the material plane and it's influence is especially strong. The thirteen outer planes that affect Eberron are:Īs the planes "orbit", their influence on the material plane waxes and wanes. The 5th edition cosmology of the Eberron campaign setting is described as the Great Orrery, due to the metaphysical "orbiting" of thirteen outer planes through the Astral Plane around the material plane of Eberron. 7.5.3 Physical Description and Subspecies Quori.
