| The Khorvaire, the main continent of the Eberron Setting |
The world of Eberron is faster then other setting for D&D, such as Forgotten Realms. There are some facility, like airship and the railway line that speeds the travel between two places. The world includes four continent but the best described is the Khorvaire, that is also the perfect setting for your adventures.
This continent is divided in three hypothetical zone: the left one that includes Droaam, Shadow Marches, Eldeen Renches and Demon Wast; The five Nations, The nation of the ancient Galifar empire, that includes Aundair, Karnath, Breland, Thrane and mournland; And the Ovest that includes Lhazaar principalities, Mror Holds, Q'barra, Talenta Plains and valenar; Dargun and Zilargo can be considered like an extension of the five nation.
You have to imagine that the characters are in a anachronistic historical epoch, corresponding roughly at the European XIX century. In this historical connotation what make the difference is magic and a powerfull use of the steam and anologic technology. In some aspect, the five nations remember the European Nations. In fact, if you look at the core of the politic situation of the Nations of the ancient Galifar's empire, you can see that the Aundair is governed by a Queen (Aurala Ir'wynarn) like the England of the Victorian age or the Thrane that, despite the presence of monarch by birthright, is influenced by a strong theocrazy, like Italy of the "risorgimento"; The Karnath, instead, remember for certain aspect the Germany of Bismarck.
Is a geopolitical intresting situation, that puts in condition to create amazing adventure not only based on simple quests. Furthermore, do not forget that there' are a lot of group of power, firstly the dragonmarked house, and, also, there'is a misterius prophecy that whraps the whole world called the draconic prophecy.
The quest that I will suggest to you, will often be set in Eberron, with an accurate description of their location. If you want to know something more about Eberron I recommend you visit this Wiki.
