“The Last War has ended - sort of.” To me, these are Keith Baker’s most important words in the Eberron Campaign Setting first published in 2004. They evoke the intrigue, action, and tension that make Eberron one of the game’s most unique settings. This statement sets the mood for a neo-noir story unlike any other.
The Dungeon Masters Guild Adepts are pleased to announce a new D&D Adventurers League storyline set in Sharn. Embers of the Last War is a twelve-adventure campaign that sees the characters face off against governments, criminal organizations, and dragonmarked houses while attempting to uncover a mystery that could reignite the Last War. The adventures take place in Eberron’s story-rich City of Towers, a place filled with magic, secrets, and shadowy thrills.
The storyline kicks off with What’s Past is Prologue, an adventure for 0-level characters by Alan Patrick, with simple rules for 0-level character creation included. The adventure is set in the final days of the Last War before the Day of Mourning and introduces new and experienced players to Eberron and the Embers of the Last War storyline. At the end of What’s Past is Prologue, the characters are retired from play, and 1st-level characters are built to take you through the rest of the campaign.
DDAL-ELW00: What’s Past is Prologue will be available September 21st on the DMs Guild, with the others releasing every Friday in order. Uncover the mystery of Embers of the Last War in these upcoming 4-hour adventures.

DDAL-ELW11: Secrets Below by M.T. Black (Tier 2; Optimized for 10th-level characters)
In a secret lab beneath the city, the characters face mechanical horrors and an even more dangerous truth. To survive, they must make a choice that impacts all of Khorvaire!
Each of these adventures can now be played with the soon to be AL-legal Encounters in Sharn to help fill the gaps and make a customizable story unique to your table.
The incredibly talented Rich Lescouflair will provide layout for the series, with art provided by Wizards of the Coast. Once all the adventures have been released, we’ll compile them in a single tome you can purchase as print-on-demand product.
Good luck flying through Sharn. You’re going to need it.

I don't think it's been announced how the PHB+1 rule works here, but I suppose you don't strictly need the Wayfarer's Guide to play in Eberron so I wouldn't expect too much. I'm still frustrated they kept the rule while changing practically everything else about how AL is working.
Artificers aren't released yet, but they should be soon and are expected to be featured in an update to the Wayfarer's Guide.
Looks like we're getting AL in Eberron!

Hmm.
Is it PHB+Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron +1
Is there any way we can play Artificers in it ?

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile.
The Adventure League Eberron Guidelines have now been published:
http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/news/changes-dd-adventurers-league-rewards
Rather than PHB+1 its "any race and class options in the Player’s Handbook, Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, and the Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron."
Thanks for the update! 👍
Someone knows if Sharn, the Missing Schema and Curtain Call: A Sharn Adventure will be part of DDAL?
