07-18-04, 06:35 PM Are there a few of the Five Nations in Khorvaire that have secret police or intelligence forces? I seem to remember that there are some. Inspired by the Bourne series, I was thinking of the idea of a changeling PC, who was a rogue, but would combine some levels as both monk and fighter....being a servant of his government/spy/assassin-type role...

07-18-04, 07:19 PM Breland has an Elite intellegence force. It address and talks about it in the ECS and the upcoming Whispers of the Vampires Blade (i think that is the correct title) adventure features a story line revolving around a "Rogue" agent of Breland.

07-18-04, 07:26 PM Karrnath, being a militaristic nation, and Thrane, being a fanatical theocracy probably have secret police as well.

Interesting....and Breland is a relatively "good" nation.

The concept is of a character of neutral morals, who may gradually trend towards good over the campaign....possibly, in service to his nation, he did some relatively evil things during the war, but wants to atone for having done so, and "get out of the community"...so to speak.

07-19-04, 11:26 PM In my campaign, my major enemies come from a secret military orginization from Karrnath.

One of the things I really liked about Eberron is that I felt it left a lot of information specifically ambiguos. It's not like things were left out or undisscussed, more like it was left more to the DM's imagination.

I can make up all kind's of orginizations and make different countires the enemy.

07-20-04, 12:40 AM Breland has "The Citadel"
"The Emerald Claw" are located in Karrnath (and have infiltrated House Deneith.)
Thrane/Silver Flame has "The Inquisition"
"The Aurum" was born in the Mror Holds.
The Korranberg Chronicle has "Reporters"
House Phiarlan and House Thuranni sell their services to whoever can afford them (except each other.)
Some warforged secretly serve Lord of Blades

I have left out the "Blood of Vol", "Lords of Dust", & the "Dreaming Dark" because they are supernatural conspiricies, as opposed to spy organizations (when you can possess someone, or read all their thoughts, then it is not exactally "cloak & dagger" spying).
