Jun 20, 2008 20:40:03 so i have been reading the 3 books i have got Firday(ECS, SoS and CoS) and i have many questions ( have not gotten to SoS yet)

First question:
So i been looks at the Schools of Learning in Eberron and i want to know which subjects they focus on the most, can any help

Second question:
I finished CoS and i saw that the person that the Nine Ward is portect is the protege of Mordain the Fleshweaver and that he is one of the greatest wizards in Arcanix. So did he join up after the twelve kick him out or did he join before he the Twelve OR.. did he join both. can any one help.

Next question: Ok so my campaign is come to an end and i real want to know where should i go. All five people live in fairhaven and they all like history in one way or another. Now three of the member are trying to get in to the twelve and each has there own way they want to get in but they help each other with their projects.(the First one is try to get magical contacts and magical text, the second one want to get his hand on powerful articats, the last one thinks if she can get in with new spells that she jas cerated.) Sorry i am getting the point. Where should they set up shop. Do they stay in Fairhaven, go to Sharn or Stormreach. can you help.

Last Question (for now): i was thinking about this for some time now, Can a druid join the Twelve. Now i know that most durids would not but there can be a few that would like to. And you got to think that the Twelve would take them becaues they want to be a step a head of the Arcanix.

Jun 20, 2008 21:31:43 Please allow me to say that it's really hard to read this post because of the spellings...

Let's come to the questions next. I haven't read CoS myself yet so I can only try to deal with the rest.

The question on getting to the Twelve. Well, I'm not sure what the question really is. But if they want to get into the Twelve, the way that they've figured out should work. However, I believe the Twelve will more likely to give them an offer if they appear to be willing to do their research for the benefits of the dragonmarked houses. If they want to open a shop, on the other hand, Sharn would be the best place to be.

Two sects of druids will be likely to join the Twelve, I think. The Wardens of the Wood, which seek balance between nature and civilization, and the Greensingers which defend the fey by all means. The Ashbound druids will never want to join an arcane institute like that. Joining the Twelve may almost definitely result in falling from the sect. I'm not sure about the Children of Winter, probably not. The Gatekeepers may just not have the time to deal with anything other than the gates leading to Xoriat.

Jun 21, 2008 1:14:36 Yeah - if you're not a native English speaker I understand, but it's hard to figure out what you're trying to ask.

I could see a Gatekeeper druid joining with a magical organization, but primarily to recruit new tools in the fight against Xoriat.

As for the focus of various schools in the world... Well, that's more difficult. Basically we have what is described in City of Sharn and the ECS, and that's about it. You'll have to make up anything beyond that, I think. PGtE might have something, but I'm a bit fuzzy on it.

yes i am sorry about the spelling. I posted this like 12:40 and i forgot to read it over. When you were talking about getting in to the Twelve, i was not asking about how to get in i was asking for some help on where should they live. I wrote what they are trying to do to get in, so it could help people, help me pick which city that could help them the most to do the thing that they are doing to get in

Jun 21, 2008 13:16:50 Well let's see...

Morgrave University (Sharn and Wroat) is kind of the iconic institute of learning for Eberron. They specialize in ancient civilizations and "artifact recovery."

Wynarn University (Fairhaven) is more reputable and specializes in the history of Galifar and the earlier human kingdoms (I think).

Arcanix is the greatest institute of pure Arcane learning. It trains Wizards and Artificers mostly for things like research, magical defense and summoning in particular (I think).

The Passage Institute (in Passage) focuses on practical spellcasting for travelers, explorers and adventurers.

The Atur Academy (in Atur) is the best place to learn Necromancy without being an Aerenal Elf or a member of the Blood of Vol (though a lot of the people there are followers).

The Rekkenmark Academy (in Rekkenmark) teaches the Arts of War...and is really freakin' good at it.

There are various colleges in Korranberg associated with the great library there that probably teach pretty much anything, including forbidden or illegal knowledge.

That's about all I can think of.

I don't see why not-probably a rare choice for an Eldeen or Marches druid but there are other druids in Khorvaire. Of course, a sponsorship from a dragonmarked house would be required, which means that your druid needs to establish a connection to at least one of them and work efficiently for the house for quite some time. Remember, the houses are looking for profits-pure academism has less place in thw Twelve than Arcanix or the Atur academy.I suppose that it depends on the nature of the house too. It's easy to imagine a druid sponsored by Vadalis, Lyrandar or Ghallanda, whereas house Deneith sems less likely to collaborate with a druid.
Furthermore, the druid might manifest a mark too...

Thank you for the help Ellorin i was think to make the Druid be a heir of Vadalis.

A pleasure, really . By the way, do you and the PCs plan to make great use of the Twelve and its resources or is the prestige that is mostly looked for?
