Eberron/YMMV

These things about Eberron are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

Accidental Innuendo: Look at the Skeleton Bra.
Alternate Character Interpretation: House Cannith: The world’s best war profiteers or a bunch of raving lunatic scientists doing what they do to just to push SCIENCE forward. (Since Cannith is split into three rival factions, it's quite possible for them to be both and more.)
- The setting was designed to be ambiguous in regards to major events as well as factions and people, so that DMs could choose their own interpretation.
Canon Discontinuity: From 4e player's guide, the Orcs passed from being a druic/shamanistic neutral race ready to protect the world from nameless horrors and ocassional bounty hunters... into becoming the run of the Mill evil monsters from the last 30 years. Quite the let down.
- And then changed right back to hunter druids in the DM guide. Indeed, part of the subtext of the guide is that the PCs don't know everything.
Ensemble Darkhorse: The Warforged.
- And the Shifters, especially Razorclaws.
Fandom Rivalry: Eberron fans and Forgotten Realms fans.
Fan Nickname: Razorclaws are often called Thundercats.
Magnificent Bastard: With so many Chessmasters, there's more than a few of these out there.
Memetic Molester: Cardinal Krozen
Memetic Mutation: Pope Jaela Daran, Rood the Doorforged, Warforged Pimps^{[dead link]}...
Moe: Jaela Daran in fan-art.
Moral Event Horizon: Happened a lot during the Last War.
Purity Sue: Queen Aurala subverts this. She is beautiful, good and devoted to her people.... and busy plotting world domination.
They Just Didn't Care: Dungeons and Dragons Online and D&D: Dragonshard have a pretty tenuous connection to anything tabletop. Gameplay wise, this is usually done to better suit D&D to electronic formats. Story wise... well...
