Notes

Keith Baker has suggested on his website that Prisoner Deep Fourteen may be a Karrnathi warlord guilty of war crimes during the Last War that Kaius III wants kept alive, the true Kaius III as described in the Eberron Campaign Guide , or even Kaius I pulling a double-bluff on Erandis Vol to free Karrnath from the grasp of the Emerald Claw for good.
