Got an #Eberron question. When you die your soul goes to Dolurrh (with a few exceptions). My question is ghosts. One source says that ghosts only "come out" at a certain time of year. The second source says they remain in the world of the living as much as they inhabit Dolurrh. pic.twitter.com/T1v3KozEpV

That’s sort of the idea I’m getting. I know the Silver Flame holds on to their own. I guess Dolurrh is just a place for the dead. No soul-grabbing entity resides there. In fact, the God of the Dead tries to snag souls from Dolurrh? Bear in mind that many religions (Path of Light, Sovereign Host, SIlver Flame) assert that Dolurrh isn't the END; it's a transition. Memories fade in Dolurrh because they're going SOMEWHERE ELSE. The ghosts in Dolurrh are just remnants, like what you reach with Speak With Dead.

To me, the feel of Eberron is whatever you WANT it to be. 998 YK is an interesting starting point with a lot of things converging. But if you take it forward five years and resolve some of those elements, you haven't LOST anything; you've made the world your own.

If you believe the Silver Flame/Sovereign theory, the purpose of Dolurrh isn't to contain the dead; it's to cleanse them and push them on. The ghosts in Dolurrh (or anywhere else) are a side effect of this, not the goal.

In my opinion, Eberron's cold war will continue until someone resolves the mystery of the Mourning. If you don't make that revelation part of your campaign, it could certainly continue for decades.

Certainly. Though it would be especially logical if there’s a manifest zone to Dolurrh in the area.
