Inside Eberron: Rising from the Last War

Enter a World in Need of Heroes

The world of Eberron has a rich history built on heroic deeds, evolving magic, and the wounds of a long, devastating war.

Eberron: Rising from the Last War embraces swashbuckling action and pulp adventure with a layer of noir intrigue, creating the perfect opportunity for a group of bold adventurers to make a difference—for better or for worse.

Choose Your Friends Carefully

Much of Eberron is the domain of the rich and powerful—and adventurers like you often carry out their deeds.

An adventuring group that has an influential backer as a patron has access to powerful resources, a reason to work together, and the means to change the world around them.

Enhance Your Abilities

A halfling healer lays hands on a dying man, and the mark on her forehead blazes with blue fire as his wounds close and vanish. A human artificer touches a creation forge, and the symbol on her hand flares as the eldritch machine rumbles to life.

Each of these people possesses a “dragonmark”—an emblem that grants a set of abilities, reflecting the inherent powers of the mark and adding a unique twist to your character creation.
