Keith Baker has suggested on his website that myths of the Sovereigns of War could be Inspiré by a trio of martial Dragons from the Âge des Démons.<ref name=“:12”>url = http://keith-baker.com/eberron-flashback-the-lords-of-dust/|title = Eberron Flashback: The Seigneurs Des Cendres|author = Keith Baker|date = 01/03/2017|year = |month = |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20170811003419/http://keith-baker.com/eberron-flashback-the-lords-of-dust/|archivedate = 08/11/2017|accessdate = 2/10/2019|quote = You’ve already made clear the differences between the [[Légion Souveraine]] and the [[Maîtres Démoniaques]], but would you consider [[the Sombres Six]] as a whole to be enemies of the [[Maîtres Démoniaques]] as well? I’m going to rewrite my original answer to this question, because I think it was unclear. First of all, a defending element of {{tag>["Sovereigns|the Sovereigns and Six" is that their existence cannot be conclusively proven. They are said to be omnipresent and to influence their spheres wherever events occur. The Dols are present anytime blades are drawn. And yet they cannot physically manifest. In this, they are concretely different from Maîtres Démoniaques, who influence a limited area (even if potentially a very large one) and can physically manifest. An Overlord can be bound, and an Overlord cannot. So in some ways it’s a meaningless question, because Les Sombres Six don’t manifest, so HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? With that said, I’d argue that EVERYONE is against the Maîtres Démoniaques. If I’m a Méduse priestess of L'Ombre, I’m not going to look at Bel Shalor and say “I dunno, I kind of like the cut of his jib.” Among other things, most cultures that revere Les Sombres Six look at their positive elements. You could say that Tul Oreshka and La Furie have some overlap, but Tul Oreshka is PURE MADNESS, while the Furie can reflect the positive aspects of passion and emotion.

WITH THAT SAID: Canon sources suggest that many of the myths associated with

are drawn from the actions of Dragons in the Premier Âge, who may have somehow ascended to become the Sovereigns; this is the foundation of Thir and the Église de l'ascension du Wyrm. By these principles, Dol Dorn, Dol Arrah and Dol Azur were all martial Dragons, and Dol Azur was flayed after betraying the others – suggesting that he, at least, was working with the enemy. The Dragon who became Le Geolier may have had an alliance with Katashka. The MYTH of L'Ombre may have been Inspiré by Bel Shalor – even though L'Ombre that is worshipped in Droaam ISN’T Bel Shalor.}}
