Simple as that. I want lots of Thelanis info. I mean lots. Tell yer bosses Hellcow. Ithink lots of EB fans will pick it up if you and other noatables produce some quality Planes material on Eberron.

Me too. What would you like the articles to include?

I'd like to see a couple locations mentioned (with at least one very fleshed out), a few NPCs and societies (where applicable), a new monster or two, hazards, and maybe a character option if it can fit.

I've been reading the article series about Taer Valaestes, and I really enjoy it. I hope the Cosmology series could follow in its footsteps -- lots of information about each plane over the course of a few articles each, with a sprinkling of relevant crunch.

The first two places I would like to see done are Thelanis and Shavrath.

FYI...
Hey everyone!

I just wanted to let you know that your voices have been heard. I've been talking with the people at Dragon regarding Eberron articles, and we've discussed a wide range of possible projects. The planes are high on the list, however for a number of reasons planar articles won't be the first ones you'll see. However, I believe that the planes will get the attention they deserve in days to come, and I appreciate your enthusiasm and your patience.

Looking to my personal preferences... Thelanis is a likely choice because it's the one that's easiest to reach from the material plane, and you have the connections to the Twilight Demesne, the Greensingers, and the Fey. Shavarath has a lot to offer as home to many fiends and as a plane that has recently had strong connection to the world. Mabar is one that I think lots of people don't get... what are the 'loths DOING there?... and the same holds for Fernia (why are their pit fiends and balors there? Do they get along? What's their relationship to the fiends of Shavarath?). And then there's Dolurrh, for people who do want to bust a soul from bondage.

I like 'em all. So we'll see what makes the most sense when the time comes. If you'd like to change the direction of this thread, I'd love to hear which planes people are most interested in, and why.

I'm most interested in Thelanis, partially because there's alotof options, and to expand on the Thelanis mentioned in one of the novels. (No spoilers)

Mabar really intrigues me as it pops up in a few places, taints the world with evil.. yet it has no connection to other big bad evils. In Eberron, it seems everything is scheming... Mabar must be up to something.....

Xoriat is also another mystery, would be great to learn a little something about it.


I'd also like a little cosmological history. Where did the planes come from, why are some paired, some not?

I would love to have an hellcow give us the coolest positive energy plane ever made.

So I vote for Irian, simply because that's the one you'll less imagine being intriguing and complex.

I had already came up with some stuff for fernia, which seems really interesting to me too. But actually, I would like anything (except for Dal Quor, since we can't easyly reach it)

I like Thelanis because I like Keith's portrayal of the place and I would love to use it in my 10th plus campaign when I restart it with 4E. Plus I will use it in my campaign as a place where the Eladrin coem from. To me they are the true ancestors to the elves. They are the beings the giants snatched from Thelanis so they could have their slave labor. Thousands of years of being stuck on Eberron and not allowed to go to Thelanis bred all that "faeness" out of them and turned them into the elves we know today. Anyway that is my take on the subject and i am using it until 2009 and they come up with something better. If mine is better than I will just stick with it. ;)
