What WOULD a Spelljammer call a native of Eberron? Eberronite? I'm thinking of a cool designation like Terran is for the people of Earth.
Dragon-Betweener? haha
More likely they refer to themselves as Khorvairians or by their own nation. And if they're introducing themselves to someone who it's relevant to--like, an outsider--they'll say "I'm so-and-so, from the nation of Breland on the plane of Eberron" just as if we, introducing ourselves to aliens, would introduce ourselves as being from the Planet Earth--we might even skip the "United States" part.
Still, as boring as it seems, I think "from the Plane of Eberron" corresponds most logically to "from the Planet Earth" which is what I would base that statement on.
Just a we don't refer to ourselves as Earthans or Terrans, I expect nobody really calls themselves Eberronians...

Right, but it is too long. Don't we already use terms for people of various settings/spheres? ie
Faerunian, Athasian, Krynnish, Caenite.
I think it'd be kool if we came up with a term that encompasses the whole people of Eberron.
How about Shards? as in shards of Eberron
Dragon-worlder might be a nice epithet. "Oh, you are from that place where everyone thinks the gods are dragons, dragons were involved in every significant event in history, everything of importance has the word "dragon" in it, and the world actually is a dragon." (Makes "cuckoo circles" and rolls eyes).
And by the way "Terran" might not seem so "cool" if you spoke latin on a daily basis.
It plays up how distant and remote Eberron is from any other DnD cosmology.
I think I might go with "Orphans", in the same vein primes from Krynn are called "Clueless".
Er... IIRC, ''Clueless'' is a catch-all slur for all Primes, regardless of whether they come from, say, Krynn or Oerth. Well, strictly speaking it is for people that have never left their Prime Material, or have only recently left their Prime (and so is 'Clueless' as to the nature of the Multiverse)... so while Orphans might be adopted, the comparison will not be with Clueless.
As for Orphans, I was suggesting it to be rather derogatory.
Why are they worshipping this strange thing that call's itself a God, but really isn't one. Moradin isn't everywhere at once, in every swing of the hammer, in every crackle of fire. He just mopes arounda mountain and drinks ale. This thing is just a trumped up angel of Onatar that doesn't know it's place. They might even call everyone not of Eberron "the Deluded".
Just thought I'd pop in with that one :P .
And in response the religions of Eberron would find the other religions very strange.

...Boy, the Athar would just love Eberron, huh?
Indeed.
Now, how do you think Eberron's Religions and Philosophies would interact with Sigil's Factions?
'Groundling' is another polite term that could be used.
As in "I got into dock and found three ebron had soverign glued themselves to my hull. They smashed some solvent ont themselves and ran off into the night before I could call the Sentinels."

Absolutely correct. You seem to be knowin the dark of things, it's all these clueless berks up in here rattlin their boneboxes gonna get themselves marked in the deadbook.
The setting is one that I love to read, but tend to find awkward in play. The cant however... rich and flavorful, love it.
OH! What about Ebberant? Idk, it has a nice [sinister] ring to it.
