The War-Torn is a series of four novels set within the Eberron universe and published from May 2005 to September 2006. The series is similar to The Inquisitives , with each novel having a different author but the stories sharing a common theme. Each novel has a new cast of characters and are not sequential. All covers were illustrated by Wayne Reynolds .

The Crimson Talisman is the first title in a new Eberron series, that focuses on war-torn souls who have known nothing but a world in chaos. Each book in this series will focus on the aftermath of The Last War, in which every realm of the Eberron setting fought a bitter and long-lasting battle.
