While I have not yet run Shadows of the Last war with my PCs, I have looked over the adventure and found much of it to my likeing. The story line is continued relatively smoothly from the previous modual (Forgotten Forge), and a new group of foes for the adventurers are introduced, making for an exiting and well developed adventure. The adventure's primary merrit is, however, the sense of Eberon it imparts. With its technology like magics and cinamatic battle scenes, Shadows gives a DM wishing to learn a bit more about Eberon before writting his(or her) own adventures just the sort of model and set of possible adventure hooks one needs. In adition to this, I found the adventure easily modifiable, enabling me to edit out parts I did not particularly like and replace them with some of my own, with minimum difficulties. My one gripe concerning Shadows is the fact that the principle villians are not those implicated at the end of the Forgotten forge. While this is merely a matter of opinion, and I know that I said that the adition of the new enemies is an overal good touch, if I where a player, I would likely be somewhat dumfounded to discover that the oposition I faced in the last adventure is present only in the start of the modual (albeit in an exelently talored encounter). Over all, the Shadows is a great adventure for an Eberon campagn, and I recomend it to DMs in search of inspiration, bearing in mind that much of it may need to be tweeked in order to make it run best with your party.

Perfect starting point for an Eberron campaign. Can be used as a sequel to the adventure provided in the Eberron Campaign Setting. Good interior black and white art, but it's not as breathtaking as the ECS. (Steve Prescott illustrates the adventure's three sequels!) Keith Baker is always a good read. Alternatively, an issue of Dungeon Magazine, released at about the same time as this product, also contained a sequel to the ECS adventure. If you play Eberron, you'll want this module. (Also includes a short story by Keith Baker.)

"The ruined House Cannith citadel of Whitehearth holds the key to constructing a terrible magic weapon. Agents of the Emerald Claw will stop at nothing to recover the ancient device. As malevolent forces hunt for the artifact, resourceful heroes battle the perils of the Mournland to reach Whitehearth first and discover the secrets that lie within."

This adventure for four 2nd-level characters is designed to follow the events of the Forgotten Forge adventure found in the Eberron campaign setting, but it can easily be run as a standalone adventure.

All in all, Shadows of the Last War is a well written adventure that pits the party against one of the most nefarious organizations found in Eberron.

Definately a different kind of D&D Avdenture.

Eberron is a breath of fresh air to the typical "Midevial Europe" D&D and give technology and such a twist.

The adventure here was really good, up until the last part, part 5 where the charecters seemed to get railroaded a bit.

But all-in-all a great adventure!

If your new to Eberron as i was trust me theres no better way to meet this great new world than with this adventure!!!
Your supose to go from 1st to like 4th level but we got to 5th so the next carry on adventure might be a little bit easy for us but in saying that there was only 3-4 of us playing most of the time.
A few fights were probley a bit frigen harder than they have should have been but what do you exspect when you walk down the main road into a busted ass town thats the bad guys main base and start a fight!!!!!
3rd level and had a CR8! But over all i had a great time roleplaying in this world and am looking forward to next week when we start the next Adventure!!!!
