🤔 Interesting facts

🌟 This sourcebook details over 20 unique religions and belief systems specific to the Eberron campaign setting, including the Blood of Vol and the Path of Light. 🎲 The Sovereign Host, Eberron's dominant faith, consists of nine deities who are believed to be present in all aspects of life rather than dwelling in separate divine realms. 📚 Authors Jennifer Clarke Wilkes and Ari Marmell wrote this supplement for Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition, published by Wizards of the Coast in 2006. ⚔️ The book explores how different races interpret faith differently - for example, how the Silver Flame religion varies between humans and lizardfolk practitioners. 🏺 Unlike traditional D&D settings, Eberron's gods don't directly interact with mortals, and their very existence is a matter of faith rather than proven fact.
