1. Do the warforged still not age like in 3.5 or what? There is nothing spoken about it in the EPG. I realise the Warforged are very young as a race but if you wanted to take the setting and advance the time line for an adventure it would be nice to know.
2. I'm hoping that there is a right up about this in the ECG next moth but I doubt it. I was wondering if there will be any changes to the histroy reguarding the Silver Purge. I was reading the GHE and realised that some of the mechanics might not nessicarily work for story telling. A larg reason that started the Silver Purge was that Lycanthropy was being rampently spread in the Eldine Reaches. My problem is that now lycanthrope can no longer turn someone into an actual Lycan. Will some of the history be updated to fit with the current mechanics?
I have 2 questions I wanted to bring up for gameplay, and Eberron History.

Depends on how you view aging. Warforged may not be flesh and blood, but they are still made of materials OF the world. Metal rusts, stone erodes, and wood ... petrifies? Warforged are ageless, but they can still break down from time and prolonged activity.

idk
So there's no need to change history; it's basically the same as it was in 3.5.

Pretty sure there's no change here. I don't think their maximum age was ever stated in the previous edition either. They haven't been around long enough.

The kind of lycanthropy that was rampant during the plague and the Purge was on a whole other level.
In comparison to the "normal" strain, it was exceptionally virulent and turned good/neutral lycanthropes evil and ones that were already evil become especially savage and bloodthristy. Much time was spent trying to find a cure for this strain. There's also the potential for this strain to come back that makes people, particularly members of the Silver Flame, wary of lycanthropes.
There were never any rules for it. It was essentially a plot device.
The fluff works just fine whether you use the 3E or 4E approach regarding how lycanthropy is spread. There's no real need to revise or explain anything.
Fun fact: In 3.5, infected lycanthropes couldn't normally spread the curse either - only "pure" lycanthropes (I forget the exact term.) It's been officially established that Something Was Different during the purge; for some reason, the werewolves and wererats and other creatures became more savage, more bloodthirsty, and above all, capable of rampantly infecting others, which is what necessitated the Purge.
So there's no need to change history; it's basically the same as it was in 3.5.
Exactly correct.

The oldest known warforged on Khorvaire are not the oldest warforged. The others--of whom it is not my place here to speak in more detail--are described as being several tens of millenia in age. Many of them have been destroyed in the intervening ages of the world, but those that have survived are still perfectly functional. None are sentient.
The oldest known true warforged on Khorvaire are about thirty-three years old, that being the point at which House Cannith determined a pattern for the creation forges that would generate true independent sentience. There are a few proto-warforged dating from the earliest Cannith experiments with this class of construct, but they are only slightly more advanced than Shield Guardians. Constructs in this category are perhaps a little more than 100 years old, dating from just before the War. They show little, if any, evidence of wear. One of the apparent advantages of the "living construct" category is that self-repair over time is quite effective.ShowThe oldest known warforged on Khorvaire are not the oldest warforged.

It is a pretty good story too.
