Right now, fear of the Mourning holds war of extensive use of war magic. If the nations at bay. harness its power—the war could begin again. The Mourning was the result of research gone horribly awry. The secrets can be found in a Cannith research facility within the Mournland. If this knowledge could be recovered and refined, it could produce a terrifying weapon. The three Progenitor Dragons crafted the planes at the dawn of time, and rested in the space that lies between them. It was then that cruel Khyber turned on the others, killing noble Siberys and scattering the pieces of his body.
And so Eberron wound Khyber in her coils and transformed, becoming a living prison that could forever hold the darkness within. And this is the foundation of our reality. Eberron is the Dragon Between, the world on which we stand. Khyber is the Dragon Below, source of demons and foul things. And the ring around our world is the broken body of Siberys, the Dragon Above, whose blood is the source of all magic. This cosmic struggle was merely the first of many wars that shaped our world. The fiendish children of Khyber spilled out from the underworld and spread chaos across the land. We know little of this time, save that the mighty dragons—the first children of Eberron and Siberys—fought against these demon overlords. In the end, an act of sacrifice kindled the Silver Flame that binds these demons to this day.
But they hunger to escape from their bonds and wreak havoc, and we must always be vigilant. Civilizations rose and fell. This rash action led the reclusive dragons to utterly destroy the giant nations, and conflict with the vile daelkyr.
