Talk:Eberron

message: Is it a copyright issue to add a thumb of Khorvaire next to the "World" section?  --mathx314
: Adding pictures to the article is something I've been thinking of, but the main problem is that the art is all property of Wizards of the Coast.  I am not sure whether it would be an issue per se, but I do know someone over at the WotC boards has been asked to stop distributing pdf compilations of Keith Baker's Dragonshard articles, so I'm not sure how they would feel about that (though in the same note, I know of a popular Eberron fansite which incorporates illustrations from the ECS).  In any case, it'd probably be best to ask for permission from WotC before using the images. -- CronoDekar 00:15, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Now that I think about it again, usage of certain images would be fine under Fair Use (most notably the cover of the ECS).  I'm still unsure about whether that would include Khorvaire, though personally I doubt it. -- CronoDekar 02:29, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Khorvaire Map

message: I removed this section because it qualified as original research:
The political situation on the main continent of Khorrivare mirrors the political climate of post- World War 1 Europe, with rival nations held in check by a teneous peace treaty. The Church of the Silver Flame bears some similarities to the Catholic Church. Most obvious of these similarities is the naming of the various ecclesiatory positions (both organizations have cardinals and bishops for example.) Both the Church of the Silver Flame and the Roman Catholic Church are powerful, world spanning groups who influence not only the faiths, but also the politics of the world. Another obvious parellel is the lightning rail mirroring the rise of railroad travel in our world, and the airship's similarity with the growing existense of commercial and military air transport. A less obvious possible connection to our own world is the parellel between Eberron's dragonshards and our own planet's supply of oil and its role in the world during the period between the Wars. Both resources are required to power technologies (magical and mechanical) that governments and people are beginning to depend on. Both can only be obtained by facing some of the worlds' most forboding areas (the vasts and hostile Middle Eastern desert or the deadly and uncharted jungle continent of Xen'drik.) While these similarities to our world may be nothing more than a curiosity, they are interesting to note and make Eberron unique as one of the few Dungeons and Dragons settings not to draw from Medieval history, but rather from the history of our own century.
This passage introduces arguments without citing sources, synthesizes ideas without citing sources, and introduces original ideas. --Muchness 05:49, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

message: "rv addition of links to computer game mod sites. This isn't about a computer game, and the game they're modding hasn't even been released yet"
You don't think a game modification project community centered on Eberron is appropriate for the "Video Games" section of the "Eberron" article? I have to respectfully disagree.

replies: text: I have no problem with the addition, at this time. Yare, could you perhaps do something about those other links? -- Ec5618 09:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Neither the mod nor the game have been released yet; furthermore the target site currently contains virtually no content. It's certainly a worthy and interesting project, but at the moment it's a non-notable original invention and a future release that may or may not see the light of day . --Muchness 11:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If that's the criteria for exclusion, you might want to get red of the "Jhonen Olain's Eberron Journal" page as well, since it hasn't been updated in months, links mainly back to the official Eberron page, and its webmaster contact email bounces. Don't be selective in your moderation. Yare 22:33, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I'd suggest removing the link to the Excoriation article, as this only deals with the medical meaning of the word, and has nothing to do with Eberron or religious actions anymore.

message: The article Dragonshard probably should be merged here since it seems to be lacking substance on its own. In turn, a lot of the embedded lists in this article can be split out. This will keep the article size manageable. Ham Pastrami (talk) 04:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge Dragonshard 

message: You’ll see how it all turned out with the release of the Eberron Campaign Guide this summer, but I’ll give you a teaser. You know how Eberron’s planes all have both names and titles? Like “Kythri, the Churning Chaos” or “Fernia, the Sea of Fire”? Well, how about “Thelanis, the Feywild” or “Dolurrh, the Shadowfell”? Fernia and Risia become regions within the Elemental Chaos while a lot of other planes are now Astral dominions. We managed not to lose any of the plane names from 3rd Edition Eberron.
Don't know if there is an article or that anyone is currently working on this as there is little I know aobut this, but a recent DDI article has changed Eberron to fit a new universal cosmology and may change other things in regards to the way things were done to Forgotten realms in order to satisfy 4th edition. So you people working on this article and its related articles may wish to look out for more info so the articles can be updated accordingly to prevent bias towards leaving out new information and can somehow include both sets of information about 3rd and 4th edition settings. shadzar-talk 23:18, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Unearthed Arcana articles are not official publications. They're certainly more than homebrew but they're not official content either. Personally, I think the mention of it should just be removed but I'm just gonna do a quick edit to indicate that the "update" is an unofficial one. Thorvindr (talk) 01:12, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

message: When looking for sources, Chapter 8 (Dungeonmastery as Soulcraft) of Dungeons & Dragons and Philosophy: Read and Gain Advantage on All Wisdom Checks popped up on Google Scholar but I don't have access to it. If you have access to this book, could you please see if it can be used as a source for this article? Thanks! Sariel Xilo (talk) 23:09, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
