Can you help me come up with ideas for my fantasy setting that has influences of game of thrones and eberron?
Sure! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- A feudal kingdom with a ruling council of powerful dragons, inspired by Eberron's Dragonmarked Houses.
- A city-state with advanced technology and airships, reminiscent of the lightning rail in Eberron, but with the intrigue and scheming of King's Landing in Game of Thrones.
- A world with magical schools and academies, reminiscent of the Citadel in Game of Thrones, but with the option for students to specialize in specific types of magic, like the dragonmarks of Eberron.
- A world where powerful families compete for control over magical artifacts, similar to the Great Houses vying for power in Game of Thrones, but with the added twist of ancient, mysterious relics with magical properties, like those found in Eberron's Mournland.
- A kingdom where powerful seers and diviners hold great influence, akin to the maesters in Game of Thrones, but with the added ability to see into other planes of existence, like the shifters of Eberron.
What sort of fantastic monsters might adventurers encounter there?
Here are a few ideas for fantastic monsters that adventurers might encounter in your fantasy setting:
- Draconic creatures: Dragons are a classic fantasy monster, and in a setting influenced by Eberron, they could have a major presence. You could have different species of dragons with varying abilities, such as ice dragons, fire dragons, and lightning dragons.
- Aberrations: Aberrations are creatures that are twisted and bizarre, often with strange powers or abilities. Examples might include beholders (floating monsters with many eyestalks and the ability to cast powerful spells), mind flayers (humanoid creatures with tentacles for a face that can drain the brains of their victims), and aboleths (gigantic, ancient creatures that can control the minds of others).
- Fiends: Fiends are evil, otherworldly creatures that hail from the Lower Planes. They could include demons, devils, and other malevolent beings.
- Feyers of the Dragon Below: In Eberron, the Dragon Below is a powerful entity associated with darkness, madness, and destruction. Creatures that worship the Dragon Below could include cultists, demons, and other corrupted beings.
- Elemental creatures: In a setting with a strong connection to the planes of existence, you might have creatures made of pure elemental energy, such as fire elementals, water elementals, and air elementals. These creatures could be summoned by powerful spellcasters or inhabit certain areas of the world where their element is dominant.
Can you tell me more about the Feyers?
Certainly! In the context of Eberron, the Followers of the Dragon Below are a group of individuals or creatures who worship the entity known as the Dragon Below. The Dragon Below is an ancient and powerful being associated with darkness, madness, and destruction. It is said to dwell in the depths of the earth and to be responsible for many of the world's greatest tragedies. Followers of the Dragon Below seek to bring about the destruction of the world and the rise of the Dragon Below as a deity. They often perform dark rituals and make sacrifices to appease the Dragon Below and gain its favor. In your fantasy setting, the Followers could be a shadowy, secretive group that works to bring about the end of the world, or they could be a more open cult that actively proselytizes and seeks new converts to their cause.
Can you give the feyers a twist that makes them redeemable and important to the proper function of society?
Certainly! Here are a few ideas for how you could make the Followers of the Dragon Below a more complex and nuanced group, with the potential for redemption:
- Make the Followers a misunderstood group: Perhaps the Followers genuinely believe that they are doing the right thing, and that their actions will ultimately lead to a better world. They could be motivated by a desire to bring about change and shake up the status quo, even if their methods are extreme.
- Give the Followers a noble goal: It's possible that the Followers have a goal that is ultimately noble, but their methods are misguided. For example, they might believe that the only way to prevent a great disaster from occurring is to bring about the rise of the Dragon Below.
- Allow for redemption: Not all Followers have to be irredeemably evil. You could have characters who are followers but who have a change of heart and decide to work against the group to make amends for their past actions.
- Make the Followers an important part of society: In Eberron, the Dragonmarked Houses are powerful organizations that wield a great deal of influence. You could make the Followers a similar group, with a vital role in the functioning of society. For example, they could be responsible for certain necessary but unpleasant tasks, like disposing of hazardous waste or executing criminals. In this way, the Followers could be seen as a necessary evil, even if their practices are controversial.

Certainly! Here is a basic outline for a campaign by tier of play:
Tier 1 (Levels 1-4): The party begins their journey and starts to build their reputation as adventurers. They might be hired by local organizations or individuals to take on small-scale quests, such as clearing out a lair of monsters, recovering a stolen item, or escorting a merchant caravan. As they gain experience and power, they may start to uncover hints of a larger threat or mystery that will become the focus of the campaign.
Tier 2 (Levels 5-10): The party continues to take on more challenging quests and starts to gain recognition as a formidable force in the region. They may be recruited by a larger organization, such as a kingdom or guild, to undertake more important missions. They may also start to investigate the larger threat or mystery that they uncovered in the first tier, and begin to uncover more information about its true nature and the forces behind it.
Tier 3 (Levels 11-16): The party becomes fully embroiled in the main conflict of the campaign and starts to take on the most difficult and dangerous missions. They may travel to new locations and encounter powerful enemies and allies. They may also uncover the true nature of the threat they have been facing and begin to devise a plan to defeat it.
Tier 4 (Levels 17-20): The party comes to the climax of the campaign and confronts the main antagonist in a final showdown. They may need to gather powerful allies and magical resources in order to emerge victorious. After the conflict is resolved, the party may choose to retire or continue their adventures, either taking on new quests or exploring new parts of the world.
This is just a basic outline, and the specific events and challenges of the campaign will depend on the setting and story that you create. You can also add additional tiers of play if you want to extend the campaign even further.
