Dragonmarks

Magic is the lifeblood of Eberron, encircling it like the Ring of Siberys and seeping up through the earth from the bones of Khyber. One of the greatest manifestation of this powerful magic are the many dragonmarks among seven of Khorvaire's common races.

Three thousand years ago the first dragonmarks appeared in the elven kingdom of Aerenal. Dragonmarks are elaborate skin patterns, like birthmarks, but more colorful, or a tattoo, but more distinctive, that grant their bearers powerful magic abilities that have been a source of power and conflict for centuries.

Nobody knows the origins of dragonmarks or when and why they appear, yet some of the citizens of Stormreach have recently begun to manifest these strange and powerful markings.

There are twelve families of dragonmarks, each one associated with a number of closely related manifestations. A thirteenth mark, the Mark of Death, has faded from history, and no living creature on Eberron carries it.
Dragonmarks can appear in several different aspects: Least, Lesser, Greater, and the strongest, Siberys. Each level comes with more power than the last, and they can appear anytime between adolescence and into adulthood.

Each dragonmark appears among the members of one large extended family, however, not each member of that family is marked. Each family house specializes in a service which is usually parallel to the ability granted by it's dragonmark.

The Dragonmarks are:
