Background[]
In 2004, the Eberron Campaign Setting introduced D&D fans to Keith Baker's brainchild, the world of Eberron. It presented a fantasy campaign setting unlike more traditional D&D settings such as the Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, and Dragonlance. Eberron aims to be setting for pulp adventure, gritty noir, and other genres, taking its inspiration from Hollywood classics like Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Mummy, among others.
The Eberron campaign setting is also unique in that it was the result of a contest held by Wizards of the Coast to find a new campaign setting. It, among 10,000 other entries, won the hearts of the Wizards staff and thus was developed into an official campaign.
Summary[]
The book contains an overview of the world of Eberron and introduces four new races, warforged, kalashtar, shifter, and changelings, as well as new takes on core D&D races for the world of Eberron. It also introduces a new class, the artificer, as well as adapts classic classes for the world of Eberron. It gives overviews of the many nations and realms of Khorvaire and briefly looks at other continents like Xen'drik, Sarlona, Argonnessen, and Aerenal, and various faiths and factions in the world. It also presents a few new monsters specific to Eberron, a new cosmology of planes, spells and magic items, and wraps up with a short 1st-level adventure titled The Forgotten Forge.
