Planes

Eberron is a world that's been crafted from the ground up to be deep, rich and complex. It's a world strongly influenced by different planes of existence, where extraplanar incursions are a dangerous fact of life.

Does anyone know what could be done with the limited amout of material that details the planes in Eberron?

Make up stuff, use Planescape, other?

Please for the love of god. What are other people doing!?!

One of the interesting bits of Eberron is the idea of coterminal planes. At certain times, different planes of existence come 'closer' to the Eberron MP. This can strengthen or weaken magic, and even open up gates to the other planes. So are those undead shambling out of the night the result of a dread necromancer, a Karnaathi infiltration, or a gate to Dolurrh, Realm of the Dead?

Keith's expanded somewhat on the planar cosmology of EBERRON through his archived "Ask Keith Baker" threads over at WotC.

You might want to look through those and search for the appropriate discussions. He brought up a few new tidbits that weren't included in the official material.

Has anyone had a campaign spread from Eberron to another plane? Any warforged communities growing in Mechanus or Sigil?

Well, it's entirely likely now, at least in the official 4e D&D material... since the warforged are considered a generic monster race -- to a degree -- via their entry in the first 4e Monster Manual.

All the planes Eberronians think exist are just locations in the Multiverse of Planescape seen through the lense of their cluelessness. That said, a planar campaign should be coloured by the attitudes of the characters based on their upbringing. How would an Eberronian view a place like Sigil or the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Vacuum?
