The Queen of All Tears is Minara Vol, mother of Lady Illmarrow. The source material explicitly identifies the Queen as the mortal woman who "killed her own daughter and transformed her into a lich, so at least one piece of her legacy might survive" — this is Minara Vol, mother of Erandis Vol (Lady Illmarrow). The article presents the Queen's backstory as fragmentary and her identity as lost even to herself; players should discover this connection through play, not through a wiki article. The detail that "she despises both elves and dragons, but has forgotten the reasons why" and that she "killed her own daughter and transformed her into a lich" are included because they read as intriguing mystery hooks without naming the Vol connection — but a DM should be aware that this is one of the setting's major hidden revelations.

The Empress of Shadows may be the same entity as Irian's Dawn Empress. The article presents this as scholarly speculation, which is appropriate for player-facing material, but a DM running a campaign centered on the relationship between Mabar and Irian should be aware that this is one of the deepest cosmological mysteries in the setting and may wish to deploy it as a climactic revelation.

Mabar's memory-consumption effect on the Material Plane. The article describes how Mabar erases memories of places and people it claims. This is an extraordinarily powerful plot device that a DM should deploy carefully rather than having players learn about it from a reference document; however, it is presented here because it is canonical lore from Exploring Eberron and explains phenomena (lost colonies, forgotten towns) that player characters might investigate.

Metrol may exist in Mabar's Hinterlands. The adventure hook from Exploring Eberron suggests that part of Cyre could have been claimed by Mabar during the Mourning — and that Queen Dannel might be alive there, or might have become a Dark Power herself. This is flagged as speculation in the source material but is an enormously consequential campaign hook that a DM should introduce at the appropriate dramatic moment.

The Nightbringers — a Mabaran druid cult. Within the Children of Winter druid sect, a splinter group called the Nightbringers actively works to hasten Mabar's conquest of the Material Plane. Their leader, Taralok Ebonsong, has traveled to Mabar through a weak point in the Gloaming and communes with elder yugoloths. This is a DM-facing threat that players should discover through investigation, not read about in a wiki.

Karrnathi famines were caused by displacing Seekers from manifest zones. The article includes this as a historical note because it is published scholarship (Hass Holan's book), but the deeper implication — that Karrnath's military leadership may have been manipulated into displacing those Seekers, potentially by agents of the Emerald Claw or the Blood of Vol itself — is a conspiracy thread a DM might weave into a campaign.
