 +====== Qabalrin ======
  
 +**The Qabalrin** are an extinct faction of [[Elfes]] that existed and were destroyed in a time before the [[Géant-quori war|Géant-Quorienen War]] and the [[Géants]] ultimate destruction at the hands of the [[Dragons]] of [[Argonnessen]].
 +
 +====== Histoire ======
 +The Qabalrin [[Elfes]] were the first mortals to discover the great mysteries of necromancy. They are said to be responsible for the creation of the first [[vampires]].
 +
 +Their city-state was destroyed by a Géant [[fragments_de_dragon|Siberys dragonshard]] that fell from the sky more than forty-millennia ago. The resulting impact created the [[anneau_de_tempetes]]. The [[Elfes|Elfique]] city existed over a thousand miles south-east of what is modern-day [[cap-tempete]].
 +
 +The Qabalrin were powerful conjurers and necromancers. The [[Géants]] believed that the Qabalrin's magic was evil, and derived from [[L'Ombre]] of their version of the Sovereign of Light and Law, [[Aureon|Ouralon]]. When their city was destroyed the [[Géants]] declared that [[Aureon|Ouralon]] was punishing the [[Elfes]] for deriving their magic from his [[l_ombre|Ombre]].
 +
 +====== Legacy ======
 +Long after the Qabalrin were obliterated, some remnant of their magic was discovered by the [[Umbragène]], who live in the realm of [[khyber_trefonds_obscurs|Khyber]] under the [[anneau_de_tempetes]]. They named this font of dark energy [[l_ombre|the Umbra]], and L'Ombre Elfes draw power from it to fuel their civilization and fight back the [[Aberrations|aberrant forces]] that threaten them.
 +
 +The traditions of the Qabalrin are rumored to have Inspiré the {{tagpage>"Mabaran Necromancy"|dark}} practices of [[maison_vol|the line of Vol]], and the faith of [[le_sang_divin|The Le Sang Divin]] as first started in the island of [[Farlnen]] in the [[Principautés de Lhazaar]].
 +
 +The Qabalrin wheel was the oldest active [[Calendrier]] in [[Eberron]], and is still in use by practitioners of the [[Le Sang Divin]]. Its months are based on the then thirteen [[Lunes of Eberron]].
 +
 +Some vampires from the time of the Qabalrin may still exist buried beneath the vaults of their ruined cities.
 +
 +====== Notes ======
 +Keith Baker <span class="">has mentioned on the [[https://discord.gg/kPjtfNj|Eberron Discord server]] <span class="">that the [[Umbragène]] <span class="">campaign in the [[Dragonshard]] <span class="">video game was was originally longer and included an entity known as the [[The Blood Queen|Blood Queen]], an ancient [[Qabalrin]] [[vampire]] <span class="">the [[Umbragène]] <span class="">would uncover and try to use for their own purpose.
 +
 +The exact nature of [[l_ombre|The Umbra]] is never specified in canon sources, and it may be an [[maitres_demoniaques|Overlord]] from the [[Âge des Démons]] such as [[Tul Oreshka]] or [[Katashka le Gardien des Portes]], the spirits of the [[Qabalrin]] dead, or something else entirely.
 +
 +Keith Baker has suggested on his [[https://www.keith-baker.com|website]] that the Qabalrin might be descended from [[Eladrin]] from [[Shae Tirias Tolai, the City of Silver and Bone]], the Perdu ruin among the {{tagpage>"Tour féérique"|Tours féériques}} that drifts between [[Thélanis]] and [[Eberron]].
