Dragonmarked Houses

There are 12 Dragonmark Houses in Eberron, four of which have carved out a position of power within Stormreach.

Dragonmark Houses get their names and their power from Dragonmarks – magical birthmarks resembling tattoos which give their bearer special magical powers. These Dragonmarks run in families, and over many hundreds of years, Dragonmarked Houses have each come to dominate a commercial specialty based on the power of their respective Dragonmarks.
