Nations of Eberron

A hundred years ago, the continent of Khorvaire was united under the Kingdom of Galifar. During the Last War, the kingdom splintered into the Five Nations, who fought to become the new rulers. Other smaller nations were also recognised during the Treaty of Thronehold which brought and end to the war.

The Five Nations

Aundair: This pastoral nation is famous for its academic institutions. Major races: Humans, half-elves, elves, gnomes. Minor races: halflings, shifters, changelings. Exports: Wine, cheese, grains, agriculture, books.

Breland: The most cosmopolitan and industrial nation. Sharn, the City of Spires, is the biggest city in the world and is where our game is set. Major races: Humans, gnomes, half-elves. Minor races: elves, dwarves, halflings, changelings, goblins, orcs. Exports: Weapons, armour, tools, processed ore, metalwork, manufactured goods, heavy industry.

Cyre / The Mournlands: Once the greatest crafters and the most beautiful nation in Khorvaire: now a mist-filled deathscape. Its population is dispersed throughout the other kingdoms, especially Breland. What happened on the Day of Mourning? And what does the warforged messiah/terrorist the Lord of Blades want there? Major races: None. Minor races: Warforged.

Karrnath: The most militant of the Five Nations; its depleted armies were supplemented by the living dead during the Last War. Major races: humans, dwarves, halflings. Minor races: half-elves, elves. Exports: Ale, dairy, glass, grain, livestock, lumber, paper, textiles.
