[[folder:Druidic Sects]]
!Druidic Sects
Those that follow Eberron herself rarely worship the Primordial Dragon directly. Instead, they worship and receive power from the primal power of nature.\\\
The primary sects are:\\\
* The Gatekeepers: The first druids, taught by the black dragon Vvaraak in order to combat the Daelkyr. Most other sects can directly trace their origins back to the Gatekeepers. Gatekeepers seek to defend nature against aberrations, outsiders, undead and other unnatural horrors. While diminished in size, the order remains vigilant and maintains a relatively friendly relationship with the Wardens of the Wood, the largest druidic order on Khorvaire.
* Ashbound: An extreme druidic order who consider all arcane and divine magic (outside of druidic magic) to be "unnatural". They seek to protect all wilderness and consider even common agriculture to be outside the natural balance. They prefer to avoid bloodshed, but the more severe elements within the order are not above terrorist attacks to make their point.
* Children of Winter: The darkest of Khorvaire's druidic traditions. They seek to cleanse the land of the blight of civilization through death. They believe the end of the current age is at hand and often will endeavor to help it along, believing that the fittest will survive to repopulate in the new spring that is to follow the coming winter. The Mournland is evidence of the coming end in the minds of the Children of Winter.
* Greensingers: A druidic sect native to the Eldeen Reaches. Keeping in spirit with the fey they revere, the sect is chaotic and worships by reveling and dancing in the wild woods.
* Mask Weavers: Druids of the halfling tribes of the Talenta Plains. Their duties, besides the typical healing, primarily include helping the warriors of their tribe craft a spirit mask which will allow the warrior when he dies to be reunited with the spirit of his mount. The Mask Weavers also serve as the historians of their tribe, preserving via oral traditions the beliefs, memories and songs of their people.
* Moonspeakers: Bound to the magic of their lycanthrope ancestors, moonspeakers breathe the magic of the world, guided by the twelve moons of Eberron. Moonspeakers are powerful and versatile spellcasters, and they weave their magic into their own bodies as they extend and enhance their shifting ability. Leaving behind the ties of family and home, moonspeakers travel between shifter communities, teaching, guiding, and protecting. Often among the most powerful shifter spellcasters, moonspeakers serve as the champions and advisors of the shifter race.
* Siyal Marrain: Horse Watchers (in the common Galifaran tongue), the Siyal Marrain are a Valenaran druidic order charged with keeping the Valenaran steeds, believed by the elves to be the descendants of elven warriors who fought against the Su'lat League to free the elven people from slavery, but were cursed to remain in the equine forms they had taken to carry their comrades into battle.
* Wardens of the Wood: The largest and most influential of the druid sects of Khorvaire is the Wardens of the Wood. The Order seeks to maintain a balance between civilization and nature, and is in many ways the most liberal of the druid sects. They have no problem with agriculture or animal husbandry as long as the land and its creatures are not ill-treated or abused. They often work with farmers and ranchers to help them prosper while maintaining a proper balance with nature.
----
* AntiMagicalFaction: The Ashbound consider all arcane and divine magic to be unnatural, polluting the world and slowly leading it to doom. Druidic magic is classified as "primal," something entirely different; primal magic comes from Eberron, while arcane and divine magic come from Siberys.
* GoodCounterpart: Keith Baker referred to them as the "Cults of the Dragon Between" at least once. Thankfully, they are significantly more sane than the Khyber cults.
* LostTechnology: Magical version. However the Gatekeepers originally sealed the Daelkyr, they can't repeat the feat. If any of them escape, someone will have to find a new solution.
* SealedEvilInACan: The Gatekeepers are best known for holding the Daelkyr seals. Unfortunately, they're forgotten most of the details on how to repair them, and there is little chance of them re-sealing anything that truly escapes.

Worshipers of the Dark Six are perfectly capable of being decent people, or worshiping them in their capacities for good. There are even cults that worship the Dark Six alongside the Sovereigns as equal gods. ''Rising from the Last War'' mentions the Three Faces of War cult as an example, which worships the Mockery as Dol Azur, along with Dol Arrah and Dol Dorn. ''Exploring Eberron'' introduces three more of these Cults: The Three Faces of Coin (worshiping the Keeper as Kol Turrant alongside Ornatar and Kol Korran), the Three Faces of Love (honoring Boldrei, Arawai, and the Fury as Szorawai) and the Three Faces of Nature (followers of Arawai, Balinor, and the Devourer as Shargon), with all of them viewing the Dark Six as aspects of a larger concept.

* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Supposedly, they were great heroes from the Age of Demons who ascended to become gods. This is also the source of many of the legends surrounding them; while ''now'' of course you would never expect Onatar to smash apart a mountain to make his forge, that is supposedly the origin of the volcano in the Mror Holds, from when he still walked the world. While generally the Sovereigns are depicted as the race of whatever culture is preaching, there's a reasonably large subculture of Sovereign Vassals who believe the Sovereigns were dragons, since dragons were basically the only people doing anything back then. The dragons can even name specific historical figures that seem to fit the Sovereigns.

!!Religions
[[folder:Tropes common to all religions in Eberron]]
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Clerics cast divine magic through their faith in a deity, rather than a deity bestowing power on them like in most ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' settings. This allows for clerics to follow a distorted version of their church's teachings (such as a ChaoticEvil cleric of a LawfulGood religion or vice versa) without losing their powers, and for beings who are not deities to have clerics.
* CorruptChurch: Without direct divine supervision, it's much easier for this to happen than in most settings.
* HaveYouSeenMyGod: The gods are entirely absent from Eberron, and divine intervention akin to the type seen in [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Faerûn]] never happens.
* TheNothingAfterDeath: Dolurrh, the Realm of the Dead. "It is not a reward. It is not a punishment. It simply is."

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/878c2f51334459a7400fbef3f790b17f.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:A coin engraved with the symbol of the host]]
The most commonly-worshiped pantheon in Khorvaire.
* FantasyPantheon: Other than the fact that their existence is unproven, this is what they are. Notably, their religion has grown largely by assimilating believers in other gods, usually convincing them that their deity is simply one of the Sovereigns using a different name.
* FertilityGod: Arawai is "Sovereign of Life and Love", and is patron of agriculture, life, and fertility. Curiously, she is also said to be the sister of the Dark Six god of destruction the Devourer, whom civilized folk often also pray to for protection from flooding and drought.
* PhysicalGod: {{Averted|Trope}}. The blessings of the Sovereign Host are said by its followers to manifest in the form of talent and good fortune in tasks related to their purview. They cannot and do not physically intervene in the way gods in other D&D settings do.
* SaintlyChurch: ...usually. They have corruption problems here and there.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Dark Six]]
! The Dark Six
A group of evil deities (with the exception of [[TheTrickster The Traveler]]) who serve as counterparts and sometimes foils to The Sovereign Host, being gods of nature [[NatureIsNotNice at its most vicious]]. Commonly worshiped among monstrous races. Even ostensibly good people will also sometimes offer them respect in secret to avoid trouble (sailors appeasing the Devourer to prevent storms while at sea, for instance).
* DarkIsNotEvil: Par for the course for Eberron religions, not even the Dark Six are black and white. Worshippers of the Dark Six are perfectly capable of being decent people, or worshipping them in their capacities for good. There are even cults that worship the Dark Six alongside the Sovereigns as equal gods. ''Rising from the Last War'' mentions the Six Faces of War cult as an example, which worships the Mockery as Dol Azur, along with Dol Arrah and Dol Dorn.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Sovereign Host. In-universe, some scholars theorize that they were originally a single pantheon.
* FantasyPantheon: Like Sovereign Host, though they are gods of things most mortals fear.
* OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: Both the Shadow and the Traveler. The Shadow is literally the LivingShadow of the Host's god of magic and knowledge, given life as the god of BlackMagic and monsters as a price for him becoming the master of the tamer arcane, and as such does not have a gender. The Traveler is the god of evolution and change, and thus, they are whatever gender they feel like.
* ReligionOfEvil: Downplayed, in that the Six are gods of nature and personal ambition more than malice. However, they are also the gods that say that acting selfishly in accordance with your own nature is good, hence why a lot of monsters worship them - after all, the Six accept them. Played with, in that plenty of worshipers of the conventional Host still worship the Six on occasion to placate them.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Played with. The Fury, Goddess of Revenge and Passion, is the only female member of the Six, but two of her peers are OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Technically they're ChaoticNeutral, but The Traveler is the only non-evil member of the Six.

Worshipers of an enormous silver fire which burst from the ground in a battle between a demon lord and human paladin named Tira Miron, assisted by a couatl. The Silver Flame is currently located in the enormous cathedral of Flamekeep, which also serves as the theocratic capital of Thrane. The head of the church is the Keeper of the Flame, a child with the ability to communicate with it.
* AChildShallLeadThem: The current Keeper of the Flame, eleven-year-old Jaela Daran
* TheAtoner: There are many members who feel the Lycanthrope Purge went too far.
* BarrierMaiden: The Keeper of the Flame, as well as the Voice of the Flame (Tira Miron herself) who occasionally speaks to its worshippers.
* ChurchMilitant: Thrane managed to match the magical and martial firepower of the other nations during the Last War largely on the strength of its clerics and paladins.
* CorruptChurch: The Council of Cardinals
* CrystalDragonJesus: A pretty obvious expy of the Roman Catholic Church, with the Silver Flame being a stand-in for the [[Franchise/StarWars Force]].
* DemonSlaying: One of their specialties.
* EvilCounterpart: The Shadow in the Flame, the voice of its sealed demon, which has its own worshippers and even its own more powerful version of the Keeper of the Flame (who is currently imprisoned in [[TheAlcatraz Dreadhold]]).
* FantasticRacism: The church is historically suspicious of shifters due to The Purge, though many members are apologetic about the whole thing. As a result, shifters who worship the Flame tend to be unusually devout in order to prove themselves.
* FieldPowerEffect: The Keeper of the Flame gains a ''massive'' power boost while within Flamekeep. Jaela is an 18th-level cleric inside (possibly the only 18th-level cleric in the world), but only a 3rd-level cleric outside.
* HollywoodExorcism: Worshippers have access to the unique "Exorcist of the Silver Flame" PrestigeClass.
* KnightTemplar: The religion most prone to lapse into this.
* LawfulGood: InUniverse. The most explicit and traditional KnightInShiningArmor religion. Except not ''every'' follower of the Flame is LawfulGood, and even those who are sometimes think a MercyKill is the best option.
* LightIsNotGood: In addition to Tira, the demon (who is evil) and the coautl ([[BlueAndOrangeMorality who is theoretically good, but not human]]) can speak through the Flame and grant powers to worshippers. Exactly how much control they have is left up to the GameMaster. Sadly, the Shadow In The Flame is also the rakshasa overlord of Xenophobia, so [[HolierThanThou it can be really hard to tell]] who's corrupted and who's not - a few Tarnished (knowing worshipers of the Shadow) are devout of the Flame who have become so cynical and pessimistic about their fellow man that they regard the Shadow's misanthropy as simply good sense.
* NobleSavage: The Ghaash'kala tribe of the Demon Wastes, who independently worship the Silver Flame under the name of "Kalok Shash, the binding flame". Interestingly, they have been worshiping it for a ''lot'' longer than the people of Thrane.
* PhysicalReligion: The Silver Flame manifests in the city of Flamekeep on the spot where Tira Miron and the unnamed couatl bound the demon that threatened the region. The great temple of the faith and the surrounding city grew up around this holy site.
* PlayingWithFire: Some members of the church actually have fire-based powers.
** {{Hellfire}}: The [[InvertedTrope inverted]], [[HolyHandGrenade holy]] version.
* SealedEvilInACan: The Silver Flame was originally created by the couatls sacrificing themselves to imprison the rakshasa rajahs, ending the Age of Demons.
** SealedEvilInADuel: How the manifestation of the Flame in Flamekeep came to be.
* SkunkStripe: Jaela Daran, as a sign of her connection to the Flame.
* WitchHunt: The Purge, in which warriors of the church exterminated most of Eberron's lycanthropes and many misblamed shifters. The Purge itself was prompted by a genuine threat - with Eberron's twelve moons, that's a full moon every couple of days. So every couple of days, just about every afflicted lycanthrope (the ones who can't control their changes or what they do while changed) in the world is going on a rampage. It also addresses the moral implications of lycanthropy [[HeelFaceBrainwashing changing a character's alignment]] as part of the justification for the purge. The Church of the Silver Flame places a lot of emphasis on the sanctity of the soul, so they fear that lycanthropy changes that; even Good-aligned lycanthropic bloodlines were wiped out. There is some evidence that the Church was encouraged to go after less dangerous lycanthropes and shifters as part of a long-term plot by someone else... [[AmbiguousSituation or maybe it was just normal paranoia and fear]].
* TheTheocracy: In Thrane.
* TokenMiniMoe: Jaela Daran.

[[folder:The Blood of Vol]]
! The Blood of Vol
The modern incarnation of the Seekers of Divinity Within, an ancient religion which eschews external deities, instead focused on reaching "the divinity within" through the power of the worshipper's blood. Its present form was created by remnants of House Vol, with Erandis d'Vol (aka "Lady Vol") as its secret leader. Due to its individualist nature, sects vary wildly in practice and attract members of all races and backgrounds.
* CorruptChurch[=/=]ReligionOfEvil: The higher ranks of the church serve Erandis d'Vol, but most members are normal people who don't even know she exists. Subverted, in that Erandis is so distant from the church that she actually lacks a lot of influence; her revealing herself would result in her being publicly respected, but the Seekers wouldn't regard her as automatically their leader.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The majority of members.
* GodhoodSeeker: The ultimate goal of an adherent.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Their methods may seem creepy and disturbing, but considering what can be proven about the afterlife in this world, trying to avoid it (even through undeath) isn't actually a bad idea.
* LawfulEvil: [[NobleDemon With emphasis on the Lawful part]]; the Blood of Vol is a highly community-focused religion that scorns outsiders and ignores moral boundaries on the path to immortality.
* NayTheist: Some sects see the gods as tyrants who created death as a curse upon the world.
* {{Necromancer}}: The Blood of Vol practice necromancy, but has a more pragmatic view of it. Souls that go to Dolurrh don't care what happens to their bodies, and it's cheap and easy labor. Sapient undead, like liches and vampires are considered martyrs who gave up their chance at godhood for the sake of helping others.
* TheUndead: Becoming a sentient undead is seen as a form of martyrdom in the church, sacrificing your own chance at divinity in order to help others. Animating corpses as mindless zombies, meanwhile, is just pragmatism; they're excellent workers, and it's not like the spirits of the deceased need them any more. Hell, to the average Seeker, knowing their body would serve their living relatives [[BlueAndOrangeMorality is a great honor.]]

[[folder:Cults of the Dragon Below]]
! The Cults of the Dragon Below
Various cults who worship beings inhabiting Khyber, Eberron's underdark. Despite the name, most don't worship Khyber specifically; instead, the cults vary widely.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: While you can ''technically'' have a LawfulGood Dragon Below cultist, in practice, veneration of evil powers and weird monsters tends to push you away from that.
* BlobMonster: Cults of Kyrzin tend to use all kinds of weird oozes, ranging from potions and poisons that get up and apply themselves to the more direct stuff you find in the Monster Manual. There are also some traditional cults that just keep a gibbering mouther in the basement and feed relatives to it when their time has come, believing that their spirits will live on inside it.
* DealWithTheDevil: Transactional cults are formed when someone barters with a dark force such as an Overlord for power or something else the petitioner wants. It very rarely ends well.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: A hallmark of Belashyrra cults. Vigilant Eye cultists, in particular, tend to have an eye on one palm, which they think allows them to see who's secretly a hidden demon.
* HiveMind: Some Valaara-related Dragon Below cults take the form of a group of people having their minds interlinked.
* IRejectYourReality: Many Dragon Below cults have blind spots that prevent them from perceiving the true nature of their allies: revenant cultists convinced that they're resurrected heroes of the Silver Flame might perceive a mind flayer as a bearded old priest or sage, for example. These are usually supernaturally imposed and not just a matter of very intense belief.
* LesserOfTwoEvils: One way, suggested by the author, for fitting in a heroic (or at least less evil) Dragon Below cultist is to have them convinced that their chosen patron is at least a better option than some of the alternatives - such as a cultist of the Rage of War who maintains that while a world of constant bloodshed and violence is a problem, at least Rak Tulkhesh has reason to want intelligent life ''around'' to do all the warring, while the Killing Cold, for example, would just kill everyone under walls of permafrost, so if one of them is going to escape, it might as well be the one that won't freeze the entire world.
* ManipulativeBastard: A particular focus of the Court of Shadows, who serve an Overlord of secrets and manipulation. Unfortunately for them, not all the intrigues they get caught up in are, technically speaking, real.
* NonIndicativeName: Not all Cults of the Dragon Below actually worship the Dragon Below - indeed, genuine worship of Khyber seems to be fairly uncommon. The term is used as a catch-all term for any underground cults, and includes a variety of Lords of Dust, daelkyr and the occasional lesser aberration such as gibbering mouthers.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: There are almost NO unifying tenets of the Dragon Below cultists. Combine that with a depressingly high rate of insanity and any two given cults are as likely to be killing each other as they are anyone else.

[[folder:The Path of Light]]
! The Path of Light
A meditative religion practiced by the kalashtar, who seek to change the nature of Dal Quor, the realm of dreams, which they believe will result in a positive entity called Il-Yannah, the light, instead of the current evil entity Il-Lashtavar, the darkness that dreams. The majority of the followers of this religion believe they can do this through meditation and the power of positive thought.
----
* LawfulNeutral: The force il-Yannah is. The kalashtar themselves are usually LawfulGood.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Undying Court]]
! The Undying Court
A religion practiced by the elves of Aerenal, who worship their deathless (think "anti-undead") ancestors as unliving gods.
* TheChessmaster: Most of the undying councilors qualify.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Undying are undead, but unlike most undead they are not animated by negative energies. Instead, the Undying persevere thanks to the faith of their worshippers and the power of Irian.
* PhysicalReligion: The Undying Court is very much an active presence in Aerenal, and indeed its greatest defense against the dragons.
* SocietyOfImmortals: The Court are all immortal by virtue of being undead.
* TimeAbyss: Feared by the dragons as one of the few factions who can manipulate events over a longer scale than they can.

[[folder:The Becoming God]]
! The Becoming God
A loose group of warforged tribes, found mostly in the Mournland, who feel there is no place for them in the religions of other races. Instead, they plan to build a PhysicalGod for their race in the same way they were built. Their clergy are often encrusted in scrap metal and bits of magic items. Their reactions to the Lord of Blades are mixed, with some seeing him as a madman and others as a prophet of their faith. An alliance between the two, propelling him to godhood, is presented as a worst-case scenario.
* DeusEstMachina: "They're building a god in the Mournland with a box of scraps".
* LivingMacGuffin: The Mournland tribes collectively fill this role.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tropes common to all religions in Eberron]]
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: Clerics cast divine magic through their faith in a deity, rather than a deity bestowing power on them like in most ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' settings. This allows for clerics to follow a distorted version of their church's teachings (such as a ChaoticEvil cleric of a LawfulGood religion or vice versa) without losing their powers, and for beings who are not deities to have clerics.
* CorruptChurch: Without direct divine supervision, it's much easier for this to happen than in most settings.
* HaveYouSeenMyGod: The gods are entirely absent from Eberron, and divine intervention akin to the type seen in [[TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms Faerûn]] never happens.
* TheNothingAfterDeath: Dolurrh, the Realm of the Dead. "It is not a reward. It is not a punishment. It simply is."

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/878c2f51334459a7400fbef3f790b17f.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:A coin engraved with the symbol of the host]]
The most commonly-worshiped pantheon in Khorvaire.
* FantasyPantheon: Other than the fact that their existence is unproven, this is what they are. Notably, their religion has grown largely by assimilating believers in other gods, usually convincing them that their deity is simply one of the Sovereigns using a different name.
* FertilityGod: Arawai is "Sovereign of Life and Love", and is patron of agriculture, life, and fertility. Curiously, she is also said to be the sister of the Dark Six god of destruction the Devourer, whom civilized folk often also pray to for protection from flooding and drought.
* PhysicalGod: {{Averted|Trope}}. The blessings of the Sovereign Host are said by its followers to manifest in the form of talent and good fortune in tasks related to their purview. They cannot and do not physically intervene in the way gods in other D&D settings do.
* SaintlyChurch: ...usually. They have corruption problems here and there.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Dark Six]]
! The Dark Six
A group of evil deities (with the exception of [[TheTrickster The Traveler]]) who serve as counterparts and sometimes foils to The Sovereign Host, being gods of nature [[NatureIsNotNice at its most vicious]]. Commonly worshiped among monstrous races. Even ostensibly good people will also sometimes offer them respect in secret to avoid trouble (sailors appeasing the Devourer to prevent storms while at sea, for instance).
* DarkIsNotEvil: Par for the course for Eberron religions, not even the Dark Six are black and white. Worshippers of the Dark Six are perfectly capable of being decent people, or worshipping them in their capacities for good. There are even cults that worship the Dark Six alongside the Sovereigns as equal gods. ''Rising from the Last War'' mentions the Six Faces of War cult as an example, which worships the Mockery as Dol Azur, along with Dol Arrah and Dol Dorn.
* EvilCounterpart: To the Sovereign Host. In-universe, some scholars theorize that they were originally a single pantheon.
* FantasyPantheon: Like Sovereign Host, though they are gods of things most mortals fear.
* OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous: Both the Shadow and the Traveler. The Shadow is literally the LivingShadow of the Host's god of magic and knowledge, given life as the god of BlackMagic and monsters as a price for him becoming the master of the tamer arcane, and as such does not have a gender. The Traveler is the god of evolution and change, and thus, they are whatever gender they feel like.
* ReligionOfEvil: Downplayed, in that the Six are gods of nature and personal ambition more than malice. However, they are also the gods that say that acting selfishly in accordance with your own nature is good, hence why a lot of monsters worship them - after all, the Six accept them. Played with, in that plenty of worshipers of the conventional Host still worship the Six on occasion to placate them.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Played with. The Fury, Goddess of Revenge and Passion, is the only female member of the Six, but two of her peers are OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Technically they're ChaoticNeutral, but The Traveler is the only non-evil member of the Six.
