Kevin Kulp wrote that "the adventuring races are one of the first things shown. Shifters, changelings, elves, orcs, warforged, kalashtar, and all the other races are richly illustrated and spotlighted. The book ends with the monstrous races: drow, giants, dragons, and power groups such as the Emerald Claw and the Lords of Dust.

Reception
Kulp, for ''DriveThruRPG'', wrote that the book "isn't just an RPG book. Instead, it's a gorgeous coffee table book that acts as a visual guide to the remarkable world of Eberron. You're shown airships and the lightning rail, the towers of Sharn and the ruins of Xen'drik. It's a lavishly illustrated guidebook to the most remarkable places in the game's setting, and it's intended as an introduction for people who haven't yet explored it (or for people who aren't even gamers, but who want to get a feel for what's involved)".
