t i INTRODUCTION
The cauldron of the thirteen d ragons boils
until one of the five beasts fighting over a single bone becomes a
thing of desolation.
Desolation spreads over that land like wildfire, like plague,
and Eberron bears the scar of it for thirteen cycles of the
Battleground.
Life ceases within its bounds,
and ash covers the earth.

a p p o i n t m e n t s . She is Aureon's wife and counts com
m o n e r s , parents, and militia members among her
w o r s h i p e r s . She is usually depicted as a commoner of
any race, and sometimes as a copper dragon brooding
over a clutch of eggs.
Her tenets are:
4- Value your community and family above yourself.
Ensu re th at if you fall, they survive.
4
Mak e your hom e your haven. Wei ght y and stress
ful affairs belong elsewhere, and violence in the

D O L A R R A H
Lawful Good
Dol Arrah is the shining goddess of honorable
combat, selflessness, and sunlight. She brings light
to pierce the dark places and blades to pierce the
hearts of monsters. Legends say that Dol Dorn and
the Mock ery are her brot hers. Paladins, warlords,
and good-aligned fighters revere her, as do diplomats,
who fight their battles with words instead of swords.
She appears in religious texts as a human or half-elf
knight alight with holy radiance, and sometimes as a
red dragon atop a cloud.
Her teachings are:
4
Bri ng succo r to those who suffer.
4 Bri ng the light of truth and goodne ss to dark an d
evil places.
4
Brin g force of ar ms against all that is evil.

The god of courage and physical prowess, Dol Dorn
also exemplifies duty and war. He urges all people to
be at their physical best. Soldiers, fighters, and war
lords are his primary worshipers, along with athletes
and acrobats. Said to be the brother of Dol Arrah
and the Mockery, texts depict Dol Dorn as a muscle-
bound human, dwarf, or half-ore, and occasionally as
a mighty silver dragon.
His commands are simple but strong:
4 Shi rk your duty only if your char ges have bec om e
unworthy of it.
4
Achieve and maint ain physical perfection.
4
Test your physical powers in contests and in battle .
May the strongest prevail

• Commanding the Creature: The summoned crea
ture has no actions of its own; you spend actions
to command it mentally. You can command the
creature only if you have line of effect
to
it. When
you command
the
creatur e, the t wo of you share
knowledge but not senses.
As
a
minor action, you
can
command
the
summoned creature
to
take one
of
the follow
ing actions, if it
is
physically capable of taking that
action: crawl, esca pe, fly, open or close a door or a
container, pick up or drop an item, run, stand up,
shift, squeeze, or walk.
The summoning power determines any
special commands you can give th e summoned
creature and gives an action type for each com
m a n d .
If a special command is a minor action, you
can give that command only once during each of
your turns.
• Attac ks and Checks:
If a summoning power
allows the summoned creature
to
attack, you make
an attack through the creature, as specified in the
power description. If the summoned creature can
make a skill check or an ability check, you make
the check. Attacks and checks you make through
the creature do not include temporary bonuses or
penalties to your statis tics.
• Duration:
Unless the summoning power states
o t h e r w i s e ,
the summoned creature lasts until the
end of the encounter and then disappears. As
a minor action, you can dismiss the summoned
cr eatur e.
A R T I F I C E R POWERS
You carry esoteric reagents and materials. If you
don't have what you need, you transmute mundane
materials into components. Each day, you craft,
i m b u e ,
and prepare the objects and co mpounds you
need for your arcane powers, which are call ed sp ells.
Many artificers refer to spells that instill magic in
objects as "infusions. "

CLOCKWORK ENGINEER
"I make my friends. Let's call it a hobby.
P r e r e q u i s i t e :
Artificer
The Last War saw incredible advances in artifice.
Wi th the creati on of the warforged and the perfe ction
of war mach ines, artificers attained a deeper under
standing of how to blend technology with magic.
Although most artificers train in the creation of
m a g i
cal servants', clockwork engineers elevate the practice
to an art form.
As a clockwork engineer, you are a master of cre
ating imitations of life from inanimate objects. You
can piece together automatons in a few moments.
The devices you create are more durable, longer-
lasting, and more deadly than those created by your
artificer peers.
You fashion minions and artifices to aid your
c o m p a n i o n s , although you probably feel as much
kinship to the automatons as you feel toward your
fellow adventurers. You might dote on your creatio ns,
lamenting when they become damaged, and even
avenging their destruction.
Outside of combat, harml ess clockwork creations
surround you. They twitter and buzz, fluttering near
y o u , keeping you company. Many are also helpers,
and through their adroit appendages, you can con
struct other minions more quickly.
CLOCKWORK ENGINEER
PATH
FEATURES
Coordinated Action (11th level) : Wh en you
spend an action point to take an extra action, you also
gain two minor actions, which you can use only to
command your summoned creatures.
Durable Artif ice (11th level) : Creatures you
summ on with artificer or clockwork engineer powers
have a +2 power bonus to all defenses.
Superior Minions (16 th level): Creatures you
summo n with artificer or clockwork engineer powers
have a +2 bonus to speed and a +1 bonus to attack rolls.

your turn adjacent to the clockwork companion, that
character gains 10 temporary hit points. You can give the
clockwork companion the following special commands.

F E A T S
The E B E R R O N Player's Guide provides bot h gene ric feats
and feats oriented toward the setting.
DRAGONMARKED FEATS
Some feats in this section have the
[
Dra gonmark
|"
expression. These feats are associated with Eberron's
dragonmarks. A character can have only one such
dragonmarked feat. Each nonaberrant dragonmark
allows you to mast er ce rtain r ituals as if you had the
Ritual Cas ter feat. To use one of the se ritua ls, you
must still acquire the ritual and master it, and your
level must still equal or exceed the ritual's level. Your
DM can expand the list of rituals as he or she deems
appropriate.
DRAGONMARKED HOUSES
At the hea rt of the dra gonmarked houses of Eber ron
are bloodl ines of drag onmarked heirs that are each
of a single race . Th e Mar k of Heal ing appear s almost
exclusively among the halflings of House Jorasco, for
exa mple, and the mar ked heirs of Hous e Can nit h a re
all humans of a single line. As a player character, you
may choose to be an exception, because heroes are
uniquely significant individuals.
I f you cho ose a drag onmark for your char act er, you
have four options:
• You coul d choose to be a member o f a dragon
marked house and its bloodline—for example, if you
choose to bear the Mark of Storm, you would be a
half-elf member of House Lyrandar and related to
the oth er drag onmarked heirs of the hous e. In this
case, you have much in co mmon with the N PC heirs
of House Lyrandar. You will be influenced by the
action s and goals of your house, alt hough you an d
your DM can determine to what extent you will be
drawn into house politics.
PLAYING A DRAGONMARKED
CHARACTER
You can take a dragonmarked feat at initial character
creation or during characte r advan cement. In the latter
case, the mark spontaneously develops as a result of the
stresses and exposures of your adventures. Such mani
festations of the Draconic Prophecy are not unheard
of in Eberron.
Dragonmarked feats should not be casually retrained
(see Player
' s
Handbook, page 28) . A PC's place in the Dra
conic Prophecy is not abandoned or reassumed so easily.
A DM would be well within his or her rights to require
that a dragonmark be a lifelong commitment on the part
of any PC.
• You could choo se to be a dista nt offshoot of a
dragonmarked bloodline, sharing the race that most
commonly manifests the mark but unencumbered
by ties to its house. For example, you could be a half-
el f with the Mark of St orm but without ties to Hous e
Lyrandar. You'd be an anomaly ; if House Lyranda r
be ca me a ware o f you, it would ta ke steps to bring you
and your wayward bloodline into the house.
• You could cho ose to be a membe r of some oth er
race , even a rac e that has no dr ago nmarked hou se of
its own. You can choose to bear the Mark of Storm
even if you're an elf, a human, or a warfor ged. I n t his
case, your drago nmark is a direct manifesta tion of
the Prophecy and has nothing to do with the blood
line of the house . You'll probabl y never meet an NPC
in the world like you, and House Lyrandar would not
claim you.
•
You could choose to bea r an aberrant drag onmark
without any concern for your character's race. Aber
rant marks are more common among those races that
have dragonmarked houses—although a member of
any race could bear one—but they're still rare. The
exist ence of an aber ran t drago nmark on a membe r of
any race is disturbing to the houses, and you would
be wise to avoid their attention.
HEROIC
T IER
FEATS
Feats in this section are available to characters of any
level, as long as they meet the prerequisites .
ABERRANT MARK
OF
CONTAGION
[DRAGONMARK]
Benefit:
Whenever you hit an enemy with a daily
attack power, that enemy takes a -2 penalty to saving
throws against ongoing damage until the end of the
encounter.
ABERRANT MARK
OF MADNESS
[DRAGONMARK]
Benefit: Whenever you hit an enemy with a daily
attack power, that enemy takes a -2 penalty to Will
until the end of the encount er.
ABERRANT DRAGONMARKS
A member of any race might develop an aberrant dragon
mark. No matter who you are, such a mark brands you as
an outsider. Since the War of the Mark, only the twelve
marks associated with the dragonmarked houses are
deemed acceptable. If you bear an aberrant mark, you
should beware of those who might hate and hunt you
for that reason.
Despite the similar terms used, aberrant dragonmarks
have no special connection to creatures of the aberrant
origin.

items. Alt hou gh the items in this sect ion are rel ated
to the faiths and practices of Eber ron's inhabitan ts,

HOLY SYMBOLS
In general, a holy symbol employed by a divine
servant assumes the shape and appearance of the
symbol of the religion the cha rac ter se rves. Sy mbols
of devotee s of the S ilver Fl ame are c overe d with a sil
very color and gain stylized fire imagery, while those
worn by ch ampion s of th e Sover eign Host tur n into
a blue and gold symbol known as the Octogram. The
holy symbols described here, however, are keyed to
a specific deity or religion and require a particular
devotion to use. They never change shape.

DRAGONSHARD AUGMENTS
The innovations and advancements in the Five
Nations would not be possible without the discovery
and use of dragon shards . By unlo cking the power
they contain, artificers, magewrights, and other
artisans power magic items, bind elementals into
vehicles, create constructs, and build a wide range
of fabul ous items. W h e n bou nd to an existing mag ic
item, a properly attuned dragonshard can also aug
ment or improve the item's capabilities.
Each o f the thr ee types of dragon shards is named
according to their origin: Siberys dragonshards,
Khyber dragonshards, and Eberron dragonshards.
Siber ys drag ons har ds swirl with veins of golden light.
Khyber dragonshards are midnight blue with oily
black veins. Eberron dragonshards, usually found
encased in geodes, are crimson with darker swirls.
Any cha ract er can affix a dragon shard augment
to a magic weapon or remove one already affixed,
during either a short or an extended rest. Most aug
ments provide a property, but some also grant access
to a power. A magic weapon can accept only one
dragonshard augment at a time.

When you create a character for an EBERRON campa ign, you
can enhance your character with rich background details
from the world o f Eberron . The information in this ch apt er
can help you shape your character 's history , outlook, and
associations.
Although you can choose as many background elem ents
as you wish , most ch arac ter backgrounds incorporate three
categ o r ies .
• Regional : W he re is your cha rac ter from? Is he or she
an urbanite from Sharn, an academic from Aundair , or
a farm er f ro m th e E ld een R each es?
• D rag o n m ark : D o es y o u r ch ara c ter h av e a d rag o n m ark ?
If so , is i t an ack now led ged or an abe rra nt m ark? Is
y o u r ch a rac ter ' s ra ce o n e o f th o s e m o st f req u en t ly
asso c ia ted w i th th e d ra g o n m ark ? Is h e o r sh e co n
n ected w i th a d rag o n m ark ed h o u se?
• O th er B ack g rou n d E lem en ts : W h a t o th er asp ects o f h is
or her life most strongly influenced your charac ter? W as
it race, occupation, or events from childhood? W as your
character most shaped by his or her experiences in the
L ast W ar?
Regardless of how many background details you use,
when you create a character , you may (with your DM's
con sen t) choos e one o f the following benefits :
• Gain a +2 b onus to ch ecks with one of the skills associ
ated with your background.
• Add one skill assoc iated with your background to your
class's skill list before choosing your trained skills.

Two kingdoms in the Five Nations maintain national
intel l igence and espionage services : Aundair com
mands the Royal Eyes , and Breland operates the
King's Citadel. Karrnath lacks such an organization,
but the individual spies of the various Karrnathi
lords-all whom are spied on by operatives of King
Kaius I l l -are equal ly effect ive. These two organiza
t ions are perfect resources for adventurers who seek
to serve their homelands.

ancient stone structures and canvas shantytowns
built on the ruins of a Cyran trade center, Rh ukaa n
Draal is a hotbed of violence and intrigue. Rep
rese ntat ives of the various goblin cl ans , as well as
cri mina l fugitives from othe r nations, conduct busi
ness in the shadow of Haruuc's palace, the
1 0 0 - f o o t
tower of crimson gran ite cal led Khaa r Mbar'os t, or
the Red House.
Shae Joridal: A city of emerald spires, this eladrin
citadel remains under constant siege by the region's
goblin tribes. Great magic has allowed the eladrin to
survive thus far, but Lhesh Haruuc continues to mar
shal forces to wipe out the eladrin resistance.
Volaar Draal: An all but impenet rabl e Dha kaan i
city built into the s ide of a moun ta in and winding
through its heart, Volaar Draal is the greatest source
of Dhakaani weapons. Its vaults are said to hold lore
and magic dating back to the Age of Demons.
Wy v e r nskul l : On e of the few goblin ports ,
Wyver nskull is a major hub of the Da rgu un slave
trade.
P E O P L E OE DARGUUN
Goblins and hobgoblins make up the greater portion
of Darguun's population; although bugbears hold a
great deal of power, they are not especially numerous.
Slaves—mostly humans, kobolds, and the occasional
gnome—round out the populace. A few members
of thes e races remain free, either thr ough having
made themselves useful or by winning their freedom
through skill at arms. Darguuls particularly despise
elves due to various grudges against Valenar, and
most consider orcs to be savages.
No common faith unites Darguuls. Many goblins,
including Lhesh Haruuc, worship a pantheon consist
ing of several Sovereign Host deities; others worship
the Dark Six, particularly the Shadow and the Mock
ery. Most Dhakaani goblins acknowledge no god at
all.
DARGUUN ADVENTURERS
Given their violent, militaristic culture, numerous
Darguul s adopt an adventuring lifest yle. Th e major ity
remain within the borders of their own homeland ,
but some travel far and wide, learning to operate
among the o ther peoples of the co ntinent. Ventur
ing out into the world and living among other races
make Darguun adventurers the most likely to come
to understand and accept members of other races as
potential equals.
DARGUUN ASSOCIATED SKILLS
If you are from Darguun, you can choose Athletics or
Endurance as your associated skill.
Darguun Mercenary: The goblins' most frequent
involvement with other races through the years
has been as mercenaries, and although Darguun's
betrayal of Cyre has destroyed what little trust the
goblins might have enjoyed, others still find them
useful soldiers. You work privately or through the aus
pices of House Deneith or House Tharashk; in either
case, you go where you're told and fight for whom
you're told—as long as the price is right.
Rolevlaying Tips: You don't have a moral agenda
per se, but you might cling to your own code of honor.
You jus t want to fight or advent ure as you're paid to
d o . You know that outsiders don't trust goblin mer
cenaries, so you make every effort to abide by your
contracts, knowing that even one change of heart
could ruin your chanc es of ever being hired ag ain.
Escaped Slave: You managed to escape your
oppressive Darguul masters, and now you seek to
make your way in the world while avoiding capture
and punishment. You might adventure to make a
living on the run, or you might be looking for a way
to achieve revenge or arrange the liberation of loved
ones back home.
Rolevlaying Tips: You fear capture far mor e than
death, and you resist any notion of cooperation
with your enslavers. That resistance doesn't have to
include all Darguun goblins-you might be a goblin
yourself—and it doesn't mean you object to slavery as
an institution (although you might). You're just deter
mined that it will never again happen to you.
Peace-Seeker : You recognize that Darguun must
find a way to live alongside the other nations, even
if the majority of Darguuls do not. The hatred that
humans and other races feel for goblins will one day
turn to violence, and though you know your people
are the greatest warriors in the world, you also know
that you could not stand against all of Khorvaire's
inhabitants . Although you do not turn away from who
and what you are, you do what you can to prove to the
other nations that Darguun need not be an enemy.
Rolevlaying Tips: Se ek out adventur e alongside
members of other races, and do not hesitate to prove
your worth to humans, dwarves, or gnomes in need.
You need not like them and you don't put up with
mistreatment, but you do your best to work with
them, rather than against them. As much as possible,
you keep your word when you give it to them, a nd
prevent your fellow goblins from har ming members
of other races without just cause.
THE DEMON WASTES
At the northwestern edge of Khorvaire, the blasted
lands for m a twisted window into the past. For her e,
where monsters roam and barb arian tribes eke out
an existence amid the horrors, is the loudest echo of
the Age of Demons, a land that hasn't fully recovered
even after thousands of years.

D e f e n s e : The Stormreach Guard off ic ia l ly keeps
the peace . Many members are ruff ians and former
cr iminals , and corruption runs rampant throughout
the organization, making the Guard far better at
defending the c i ty from outs ide threats than at keep
ing the p eac e within. T he Iron Wa tch , an elite unit
of warf orged , and the Inquisitives, private de tect ive s
licensed by the Finders Guild or House T harash k, are
better a t s topping cr ime.
