Astalaar swore that no one would ever steal her treasures after her death, and no one has… because since the moment of her death, no one has set foot on Trebaz Sinara. And Astalaar-the last pirate queen to rule from Trebaz-well, no one knows exactly what she did. Duros the Wise worked with the greatest mages of the age to add arcane wards and traps to the halls and tombs of Trebaz Sinara. Hungry Lhazaan imported the most terrifying monsters from across the world to guard the shores. Lystara the Red bargained with one of the Lords of Dust and established a deadly demonglass reef-a maze that can gut a ship from below. Her heirs followed in this tradition, adding vast wealth and extravagant tombs… and each one did something to add to the security of the island. The island of Trebaz Sinara was Lhazaar’s seat in life and her home in death, and its vaults held the treasures and tribute she gathered in her decades as the pirate queen. So… what are some legendary treasures of Eberron? Let’s consider a few, canonical and otherwise. Regardless of whether the adventurers are driven by pure self-interest or whether they’re serving a greater good, a grand quest for a legendary treasure can be a solid drive for adventure. This doesn’t have to be driven by greed just comparing those three examples, the quest for treasure could be driven by the status that will accompany the recovery of the treasure, by a rightful claim to the wealth, or by the desire to keep a dangerous artifact out of the hands of people who will abuse it. From One Piece to The Hobbit to Raiders of the Lost Ark, it’s an easy drive for story.

Are there any hidden treasures of this variety that would be whispered in taverns and told between crews over pints of ale?īuried or otherwise, legendary lost treasures are a great trope for setting a campaign in motion. The year is coming to a close, but there’s still time to answer an interesting question posed by one of my Patreon supporters… What sort of legendary buried treasures might Eberron have stories about? Where might they be located? My players are big fans of the One Piece series, and expressed interest in looking for treasure on the scale of the in-universe “one piece,” said to be so grand that it could set you and your family up for the rest of your bloodline.
