Varisia in Eberron

[Chris Such]

Hiya,

So I have a few players who are totally hooked on Eberron. I mean seriously hooked on Eberron. They want me to try and place the Pathfinder stuff somewhere in that world.

I need to at least humour them so was wondering if anyone else had tried to find a reasonable location and what sort of conversions they made.

Cheers, Chris.

Hi Chris!

I think Xen'drik is a great option for Rise of the Runelords...with Stormreach as Sandpoint, or adding Sandpoint to the continent. Some other people have mentioned Q'barra as a good location too and I think with some adaptation that could work out great: Thassilonian = Sarlonan Wizard Kings who fled Sarlona when the Quori threat began maybe.

Adar may work as well with some tweaking. It certainly has the geography for it.

I'm not worthy ... I'm not worthy ... I'm not worthy :)

Seriously, thanks Nicolas. I will pitch that idea to them.

Cheers, Chris.

We had some kind of an Eberron Brainstorming at another thread, here are some of the ideas:

Because of the tribalistic and brutal nature of runelords, I put it far outside of any normal known city, in the lands of Valenar.

This brings into play the tribal nature of the elves, makes sense for the humans to be tribal, and even allows for access directly to the halflings and dwarves.

For me, Sandpoint was going to be in Aundair, at the point on the Eldeen Bay where Whisper Rock is (the Rock taking the role of the Old Light). Fairhaven would have taken the place of Magnimar, with references to Karrn or Karrnath covering for Korvosa. The runelords were going to either be a faction of or substitute for the Lords of Dust, ancient fiends who ruled during the Age of Demons.

I wasn't sure where the giants were going, though. Maybe in the Starpeaks?

-Q'Barra: The Storval Plateau could be inserted into the Endworld Mountains, the Runelords could be made agents of the Rakshasa (Haka'thorvak comes into mind). Varisians and Shoanti could be easily inserted

- Demon Wastes: There are barbarians, the varisians could be made into a part of the Maruk'Ghaashkala. You had to insert Giants though and it's maybe too much of a stretch making Magnimar, Korvosa (and Sandpoint) into newfounded Brelish colonies there. Given the superior transport opportunities, Sandpoint could be Desolate (in the Wastes) and Magnimar any town in Breland.

- Xen'drik: I think the Qabalrin sound quite "runelordish" and it has any number of Giants you might need. I'd make the Shoanti Drow and I have no idea what to do about the Varisians.

-Sarlona: I'm just reading through the book, so the only thing I do actually know about is is the Adar entry. I think the Runelords could be made magicians from the time before Khorvaire was settled and I think it quite interesting to see what the Inspired had to say about a new power (the Runelords) stirring in what they consider to be their territory. Giants seem to have played a role in Sarlonian history so this could possibly be done. And you have the Summit Road to replace the Pathfinder Organisation (generally this would be the Wayfinder Foundation I guess).

For my Eberron conversion, I'm entertaining one of two options:

1) Xen'drik, near the Skyraker Claws.

2) Dor Maleer, near the Frostwall Mountains.

I'd love to help, but I have a thing called taste.
