Converting to Eberron, Any Help Appreciated


Maure Castle


Okay, recently my friend was looking through my Dungeon's and asked me a very interesting question, if I were to stick Maure Castle in Eberron, where would it be, which gave me the fabulous idea to run it.

Were the Maure's perhaps a Dragonmarked House ? If so of what line, and than it went on to the thought of, Who would take the place of the notable mages ? Since I plan to go ahead and gods help me in my insanity, give this a-go, any and all help would be greatly appriciated.


I'd be tempted to stick it in the Lhazaar Principalities, where the first human settlers from Sarlona came. A prominent magical family established a gigantic estate, perhaps on a really big island surrounded by fog and storms. They moved to Khorvaire in the first place to avoid persecution (not necessarily religious), but somewhat like the puritans from Europe.

Or else somewhere in Thrane maybe, in the abandoned anscestral castle of an early offshoot of one of the Galifar heirs.

Ahh that would work well, thank you Evilturnip :) I think I will place it near a sea faring area.

The Exchange

Droaam might be good, or off the coast of the Shadow Marches. Something like that could be more appropriate as an ancient hobgoblin fortress, or maybe even the daelkyr. It would need to be reasonably far away from civilisation, I would think, to remain unviolated this long.

I am not familiar with Eberron, but the Maures were near undefeatable and were avoided by the rank and file of civilzation and feared by rulers of Kingdoms. It was their own powers from within that eventually destroyed them, and a large bit of that hisory will be revealed in issue #139.

If this helps any.

Wish you luck in the conversion.

Hordes of The Abyss expands in a small way on the Maures by introducing some of their patrons. I think that is part of what makes this module difficult to link up to many campaigns. The Maures are linked to some pretty old history and there are creatures of awesome power that play a part in their story.

Really the sort of thing that shows off Greyhawk at its finest.


A Xen'drik connection ?
If I were to run it in Eberron I would make it a fallen House of Xen'drik, seeing as theres alot of untapped possiabilities there. Of course you can also have it a fallen Dragonmarked House from ages back, that might be good too.
