5e:Eberron
Eberron is a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) role-playing game. The game is set primarily on the continent of Khorvaire following a vast destructive war. Eberron is designed to accommodate traditional D&D elements and races within a differently toned setting; Eberron combines a fantasy tone with pulp and dark adventure elements, and some non-traditional fantasy technologies such as trains, skyships, and mechanical beings which are all powered by magic.
Eberron was created by author and game designer Keith Baker as the winning entry for Wizards of the Coast's Fantasy Setting Search, a competition run in 2002 to establish a new setting for the D&D game. Eberron was chosen from more than 11,000 entries, and was officially released with the publication of the Eberron Campaign Setting hardback book in June 2004.

In February 2015, the very first instance of the online feature "Unearthed Arcana" provided Eberron content for public playtesting for the 5th edition.[1] However, further official Eberron content did not appear until 3 years later, when the Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron was released on July 23, 2018 as a PDF on Dungeon Masters Guild; it was described as a "living document" that would be updated as the included concepts were refined.[2] The included races,[3] and dragonmarks,[4] magic items,[5] as well as the artificer class and subclasses,[6][7] also went through the "Unearthed Arcana" public playtest process over the next year. An "exploratory campaign featuring Eberron"[8] was released for the D&D Adventurers League as PDFs between September 2018 and December 2018.[9]
Eberron Rising From The Last War, a hardcover campaign book, was announced in August 2019, and was published on November 19, 2019.[10][11][12] An alternative art cover by Vance Kelly for the book was also released in local game stores on November 17, 2019.[13] At the same time, the Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron was updated to include the final versions of the included content as it appears in Eberron: Rising from the Last War, and add the artificer class from the same book (with only one subclass – the Alchemist – of the three included in Rising from the Last War). To correspond with this release, the D&D Adventurers League will have a new season of stories called The Oracle of War that takes place in the Mournland.[12] [14]
