IC Exclusive: Denizens of Shavarath
Exploring Eberron is finally available, and you can find it here!
As a small bonus for the Inner Circle, I thought I'd share a "deleted scene" from the book. In developing the plane of Shavarath, I created a table with some random denizens of the Eternal Battlefield, ideas that could serve as the foundation of an interesting encounter. However, the Shavarath section was already running long, and it felt strange to include a table like this for Shavarath and not do something similar for the other planes, so we dropped this during editing. Here it is from the cutting room floor...
