Eberron announced for 5th Edition!

Eberron fans were rejoicing on Monday when Wizards of the Coast published Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron on dmsguild.com The setting first published in 2002 for Third Edition, is a mix of high magic and technology in a novel fantasy setting. The Wayfinder’s guide is a 176 page pdf. Credits are given to the creator of Eberron Keith Baker and Ruty Rutenberg from Maze Arcana.


It’s broken down into 4 chapters. Chapter 1 is What is Eberron. This is a brief overview of the setting. Chapter 2 Welcome to Khorvaire is an introduction of the lands and nations of Eberron. 3 Races of Eberron is a brief overview of the various races of Eberron. Notably lacking are dragonborn and tieflings which DMs can feel free to introduce in their own Eberron campaigns. Chapter 4 Dragonmarks is an overview of a key feature of the Eberron setting. Dragonmarks are tattoos of mystical power. Chapter 5 magic items updates the magic items of the setting for Fifth Edition. Chapter 6 Sharn City of Towers discusses the various areas of the large city.

Fans of the setting will want to pick of the pdf which updates a lot of the magic items to Fifth Edition. A lot of other materials for Eberron are also available on dmsguild.com as well.
Fans of this blog and from my posts on Enworld know that I’m a big fan of converting monsters. So for the new Eberron pdf here’s two Eberron monsters for Fifth Edition.
