06-11-06, 03:33 AM Illumians in Eberron...I've lent out my PGtE, so I don't know if they are in there. Are they? And if so, what role do they play?

Thinking about the fact that they used to be humans, and illumians would be a fairly big development on Khorvaire, perhaps they were an old order of pre-Dal Quor tainted Sarlona? The more I think about the many mysterious kingdoms of Sarlona, the more I think it's almost richer than Xen'drik in some ways. Thoughts, comments, derisions, corrections?

06-11-06, 04:05 AM Before the PGtE, Keith once suggested that they might make good members of the Keepers of the Word. Or maybe all the Keepers are Illumians. When the quori began eliminating magic from Sarlona, the Keepers began their task of preserving it.

06-11-06, 06:57 AM The singular mention of illumians in the Player's Guide to Eberron simply states that they live in enclaves within human cities, and that their own city of Elirhondas is located on the Plane of Shadow. It's easy to imagine a small tower or a few levels of a larger tower in Sharn, for instance, housing an illumian enclave. Most people outside the surrounding district might never hear of their existence.

06-12-06, 11:02 PM In my campaign, I have the Illumians in Sarlona. That's worked pretty well, as the PCs haven't been there and are hearing lots of propaganda from Riedra stating that the Illumians are terrorists.

I made a lot of changes, though ... I don't use the Kalashtar (so the Illumians pretty much replaced them) and the Dal Quori are actually Githyanki. The Gith sacked the Illumians astral library in an attempt to learn the Illumians' secrets (their Lich Queen hopes to modify the magic that changed them from humans in an attempt to raise herself to godhood).
