Aug 22, 2010 22:45:07 I've been reading up on the Hollow Earth theory so I had a nasty thought. What if Eberron was hollow? Everything is there for Eberron to be hollow. Khyber is enveloped by Eberron itself, and Siberys is floating above the planet.

If we take the hollow sphere serious, then in the North Pole and the South Pole there are gaping maws to Eberron. Inside the center is a sphere made from Siberys, and the center gravity would be represented by Khyber.

The inside could be the source of humans. Humans are from *inside* Eberron. If we increase Eberron's diameter to be Earth's then Khyber just has to be as dense as lead. How awesome is that? There would be one continent and one ocean, and it can be populated by monsters and animals not seen on the surface. What an awesome idea.

Neither does the Hollow Earth theory, according to a lot.

About 500 to 700 miles down beneath your feet is a paradise. However, geologists and all the others say the Earth is a solid round ball.

Sep 02, 2010 13:12:50 It fits in exactly with Ebberon, and furthermore with a common vision of Khyber as a full blown world beyond the underdark. I believe the idea is that if you go deep enough, you'll come out of a tunnel and find an alien sky, as you've actually traveled into a demi-plane contained within the planet.

Though it's natural to expect it to be filled with abberations and fiends of every sort, there's no reason why you couldn't make it more akin to Pelinore or the Hollow World. Maybe it was settled by Kalashtar refugees and Sul' giants...
