Residuum?
In some ways, residuum has always been a part of Eberron. In When a Daan Strider disenchants magical items, use the
the original Eberron hardcover, the 3.5 Edition Eberron following table to determine how much residuum it gains.

However, the name 'residuum' entered the setting with the 4th

and easily fits in a belt pouch. It was typically created by using Rare 9

decide the a Strider's residuum reserve is a part of its physical
being. The Residuum Spill ability assumes some amount of
residuum is recoverable in that case, and will reform as dust
or a pure residuum gem. However, a strider with a large
reserve might have red sparkles showing through its skin.
Extraction of residuum from such creature is probably best
left to the necromancer.

Harpies as Player Characters
Flights of harpies are a common sight in the Byeshk
mountains in the north of Droaam, and several flights now
nest in the great city of Graywall. As Daask builds its presence
in Sharn, many harpies have left the mountains for the City of
Towers, and can often be seen soaring between the towers of
Malleon's Gate and other neglected districts of Sharn.
A harpy who finds herself elsewhere in the Five Nations is
likely to be mistrusted at best. The magic behind a harpy's
song is well known, and tales have a habit of exaggerating
their antagonists. An accused harpy may find herself
struggling to convince the folk around her that she isn't

Lhazaar Shipwright
Crab
The Lhazaar Principalities are home to many sea monsters,
all of which invoke fear and wonder into the hearts of the
bravest pirates. One of the most dangerous is the Shipwright
Crab. These enormous crustaceans can be found throughout
the Principalities and from time to time have been found as
far south as Kraken Bay.
Shipwright crabs appear as immensely over-sized
hermit crabs. However, instead of making their homes
e
in discarded shells, they take refuge inside hollowed
shipwrecks. The crabs gradually repair the ships,
filling holes with a sticky ooze they regurgitate after
meals. The plants and algae that grow around the crab
bind the repair work, and eventually the ship is ready
fil
to ‘sail’. The shipwright crab lifts the vessel to the ocean
surface and uses it as a float to move across the water with
relative speed and freedom.
Lhazaar stories tell of ghost ships sailing the seas with no
crew or even an undead crew. Often, these tales are based on
encounters with a shipwright crab. With the crab’s body out of
sight, many believe the ships to be sailing themselves.

A tall, graceful figure emerges from the darkness. She wears a

carries a cobalt khopesh, and her free hand rests over her
heart.
The Night's Mercy is an unusual form of celestial born in
Mabar, the Endless Night. Sometimes called the noxiya, the
Night's Mercy fully embodies Mabar's destructive element.
However, each fulfils an ostensibly benevolent purpose: to use
death to relieve suffering. The true classification of noxiya is
e
therefore somewhat controversial in the halls of the Arcane
Congress. Some contend that these creatures are more
correctly considered risen fiends than true angels.
On Mabar, a Night's Mercy wanders in a lonely vigil. They
resist the evil of the Night, hunting the sorrowsworn and other
fil
fiends, while seeking travelers who have lost their way from
Eberron. A suffering planar traveler cannot expect healing or
other constructive aid from the noxiya. These are the domains
of the counterpart world, Irian. Instead, the noxiya seek to
end pain inflicted by the Endless Night,
and free a tortured soul to Dolurrh, the Realm of the
Dead. A noxiya will thus appear to a dying traveler
in their final hours. Death, the noxiya claim, is a
kinder fate than to waste away into
shadow in Mabar.
