03-16-07, 07:20 PM Got Dungeonscape today, and reading through the "Functions of Dungeons" section, I saw the "Agent of Evil" campaign idea for dungeons, which works as follows:
At the center of the world lies a physical embodiment of Evil, with portals to the Infernal planes and other horrid places, which try to crawl out from the depths to conquer the surface world.

Now, reading that I instantly said to myself "Merciful Host, this is tailor-made for Eberron!" Eberron already is a world with a core of Evil trapped at it's center, filled with Fiends, Aberrations, Undead and Evil Cultists of all sorts. It's a short hop-and-a-skip from there to have the fiends of the Dragon Below create dungeons with Portals to Khyber at their heart.

Something even more fitting, however, is the evil mastermind extraordinaire aka the dungeon lord prestige class.

03-17-07, 06:56 PM I was planning to give a Quori spirit the PrC and then have it run one of the quori-creation forges through an inspired.

Gives me excuses to have the place trapped up to high-heaven, as well as giving it the weird Dal'Quor architectural style.

I imagine many an iner-sanctum of the most powerful members of Dragon Marked houses have wards and traps keyed to blast anyone not displaying a dragon mark of the appropriate type, ala the traps from Dungeonscape that can read arcane marks and target/not target creatures bearing the mark accordingly.
