Stories Don’t Always End Well
Whether aboard an airship or a train car, embark on thrilling adventures shrouded in intrigue! Discover secrets buried by years of devastating war, in which magic-fueled weapons threatened an entire continent.
In the post-war world, magic pervades everyday life, and people of all sorts flock to Sharn, a city of wonders where skyscrapers pierce the clouds. Will you find your fortune on mean city streets or scouring the secrets of haunted battlefields? Will you throw in your lot with the mighty dragonmarked houses, ruthless families who control whole nations? Will you seek truth as a newspaper reporter, a university researcher, or a government spy? Or will you forge a destiny that defies the scars of war?
This book provides tools that both players and Dungeon Masters need to explore the world of Eberron, including the artificer character class—a master of magical invention—and monsters birthed by ancient warmongering forces.
Inside Eberron: Rising from the Last War

Enter a World in Need of HeroesThe world of Eberron has a rich history built on heroic deeds, evolving magic, and the wounds of a long, devastating war. Eberron: Rising from the Last War embraces swashbuckling action and pulp adventure with a layer of noir intrigue, creating the perfect opportunity for a group of bold adventurers to make a difference—for better or for worse. |
Choose Your Friends CarefullyMuch of Eberron is the domain of the rich and powerful—and adventurers like you often carry out their deeds. An adventuring group that has an influential backer as a patron has access to powerful resources, a reason to work together, and the means to change the world around them. |
Enhance Your AbilitiesA halfling healer lays hands on a dying man, and the mark on her forehead blazes with blue fire as his wounds close and vanish. A human artificer touches a creation forge, and the symbol on her hand flares as the eldritch machine rumbles to life. Each of these people possesses a “dragonmark”—an emblem that grants a set of abilities, reflecting the inherent powers of the mark and adding a unique twist to your character creation. |
An innovator in providing fantasy entertainment, Dungeons & Dragons is the wellspring for the entire modern game industry, digital as well as tabletop. Fifth edition D&D draws from every prior edition to create a universally compelling play experience, and exemplifies the true spirit of a game that holds captive the hearts and minds of millions of players worldwide. The core rulebook series consists of three books: the Player’s Handbook, the Monster Manual, and the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

New official class, four new races, 12 Dragonmarks with new sub-races, a complete lore dive and in-depth world explanation, an entirely new patron system, and dozens of new magic items. This is worth the price for DMs and players alike even if you care nothing about the world of Eberron.
Not everyone will agree with the changes made, but the amount of content alone makes this book a must have.
- Loved the poster map in the back of the book!
- The living spells are a cool idea but are garnished with zero to no lore or fluff; just mechanics.
- The Group Patrons section is excellent, truly the best addition.
- The Foes and Enemies section is fairly good.
- The incredibly sizable “Building an Eberron Adventure” section has fairly good plot hooks and giving new DMs a helping hand.
Cons:
- The formatting of the book bothered me and made it seemed “over stuffed.” A lot of things in chapter 1 and 2 give me the feeling that an editor someplace had a very difficult job condensing this information into the page allotment that WoTC allowed.
- Many of the classes and races lost fluff and/or were nerfed compared to Wayfairer’s Guide.
- Much of the Gazzette section which explore the different territories, are just copy and pasted from Wayfairers Guide, with small edits or additions.
- The chapter on Sharn seems incredibly redundant with the one in Wayfairers Guide.
Ultimately I’m not disappointed with Keith Baker, I’m disappointed in WoTC. Wayfairers as a “beta” version of “Rising from the Last War” seems underhanded, which makes much of the content come off as redundant. I was hoping for a longer book that used Wayfairers Guide as its core and expanded upon it. Instead this seems like a revised and edited Wayfairers Guide.
Eberron is an interesting setting and if you want to take most of the wonder out of it they get this book. The book is fairly dry in its immersion. This might as well be another continent on Toril. There is one additional background added, nothing even rebranded in the ones that existed from the other sources. The new races are generally the same as the UA or the Wayfinders Guide that was released before some small tweaks, except for the warforged, unfortunately the animated golems got the shaft. They removed all the sub-races and just made all warforged basically the same. Other tweaks were fine to bring them more in line away from players that would abuse certain features but the loss of the subraces seemed to weaken the appeal.
Other races have expanded a bit with the dragooned variance and while it is an interesting take the book is dominated by this feature in a way that doesn't really bring in the vision of the world. When I heard this book was coming I grabbed it ASAP. Now I wish I just had waited, supplemented with the other source material and just shelved Eberron as my setting for the time being.
Right now to all DMs looking to expand their campaigns into Eberron, look elsewhere.
Top reviews from other countries
If you're interested in Eberron itself this book is an absolute must, but even if you're just looking to expand the options for your play in a general sense, I'd still recommend it highly!
Don’t get me wrong this is a good book, with great art and lots of information
It’s just there is a better product out there
