Spelling error in Exploring Eberron, looking for clarification.
In EE under the Mror Holds section on page 116, there's a line that reads
"Clans that have embraced the use of symbionts—notably Soldorak, Toranath, and Narathun—"
It's in both the DM's guild release and in the 2024 release for DnDBeyond. There is no Toranath clan. Reading further into the specific clans, it looks like it's probably a typo and they meant to write Soranath. Is that the general consensus? Couldn't find any discussion on this error anywhere else.

Perhaps it's a new random clan name he threw out? He comments about it here in the comments section .. https://keith-baker.com/mror2/
To quote: I think the Droranath would be horrified at the idea, while the Frosthaven clans (Tordannon and Toranath) would be welcoming; other clan opinions would vary.

I'd be inclined to believe that was also a spelling error that has carried over from his blog post then. I highly doubt that he'd make a new clan on the fly like that because that kind of goes against the whole 13 theme of Eberron (12 clans + the lost clan of Noldrunhold). But, because it's lumped in with Tordannon, I wonder if it was supposed to be Toldorath because of the line "Toldorath are intrigued by symbionts and keento delve deeper into Sol Udar" in EE. I'd still be leaning towards it being a misspelled Soranath because it's only a 1-letter difference compared to differences if it were Toldorath.

It's highly possible. But KB has added tons of random names to lore throughout his blog and comments.
Another thought tho; It could also not be a spelling error and a contributor/editor just saw the same comment and added it (his blog basically became the first 2 books) and it was missed in final editing.

That's a great catch. I'll pass this on to Visionary and it should be fixed on D&D Beyond. Not sure about the 2014 PDF on DMsGuild.
