Wizards of the Coast will release Eberron: Rising from the Last War, a new 320-page volume detailing the steampunk-style world from earlier versions of Dungeons & Dragons for 5E, on November 19. The world features trains powered by lightning, airships, magical streetlamps, and manufactured humanoids alongside elves and humans.
The volume will introduce the artificer class, which fuses technology and magic, as the first new D&D class since the Player’s Handbook, four new races, twelve magical dragonmark tattoos, and a new game element called group patrons that provides parties with shared background features. Tools include an overview of the continent of Khorvaire, a gazetteer of the city of Sharn, maps of lightning-powered trains and industrial workshops, and adventure hooks and details on designing adventures set after the Last War.
The release will be supported with The Oracle of War, a new season of twenty episodes for D&D Adventurers League in which players discover an incredible treasure sought by every faction in Khorvaire.
The $49.95 volume will be offered with two covers, including a special cover sold only through the hobby game store channel.
A digital version of Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron was offered on the Dungeon Master’s Guild last year, and WotC has conducted "hundreds of playtests and player feedback sessions" to develop Eberron: Rising from the Last War, WotC Vice President of the D&D franchise Nathan Stewart said in a statement accompanying the announcement.
WotC is repackaging Tyranny of Dragons for October release (see "Wizard Revives ‘Dungeons & Dragons: Tyranny of Dragons’").
