11-12-07, 06:28 AM What are its goals in Khorvaire and Xendrick (i.e. not including Sarlona)? Are its short-term goals different from its long-term goals? Most importantly, how does it attempt to accomplish its goals?

P.S. For all those who usually answer posts with, 'it's your campaign, so you can do whatever you want...' I'm aware that it's my campaign, but am posting here to get others' opinions on these issues.

Thanks in advance,

11-12-07, 09:09 AM I haven't used the DD in any of my campaigns yet, but I'm under the impression they slowly want to take control of the entire world. They want to do this in order to make sure that "everyone is dreaming the same dream" so that the Turning of the Age doesn't occur: essentially freezing things the way they are in Dal Quor.

In the short term I think that means destabilizing Khorvaire so that Riedera has a chance to swoop in and "save the day" by "restoring law and order".

11-13-07, 05:25 PM I imagine one of the major goals of the Quori would be too reverse the magic the giants used and remove Dal Quor from its remote state and allow it to be normal, or even coterminous to Eberron once more.

You might also keep in mind that elves are very unlikely to be agents of the DD. Due to their lack of dreaming they would be harder for the DD to manipulate. I'd consider making the Drow and Giants so that THEY don't dream either. In fact anyone from Xendrik in my game trances rather than dreams. The backlash from the giant's giant enchantment cut them all off, at least in MY game it did.
