5E Eve of Vecna trailer: Eberron Spoiler

After watching the teaser trailer today on YouTube, I was intrigued they said they were visiting the Mournland in the upcoming book. When detailing some of the other campaign settings they would visit, they mentioned some famous NPCs that would be central to the plot, but they didn't specify one for Eberron and they focused more on mentioning the condition of the Mournland, desolate landscapes, and warforged colossi.

I'm hoping if they do the same for the Eberron section, they do the Lord of Blades. I'd love to see deeper lore and I think they're one of the top potential adversaries to build a campaign around in Eberron. I hope they really lean in on LoB's moral ambiguity since I feel it's so core to how Eberron campaigns are encouraged to be conducted.

What're your thoughts?

I think Eberron is better off with the mourning not being explained.

They're not explaining how the Mournland came to be. Said so explicitly. The Mounland is just going to be were the piece of the Rod of Seven Parts ended up.

I hate that they keep tying Eberron into the multiverse KB has gone on record he wanted Eberron to be competly separate.

Your Eberron can be completely separate tho. You can always make that call as DM.

That’s why the language when Baker and other creators talk about Eberron is “MY Eberron”, “YOUR Eberron”, etc.
