House Sivis: Structure

keithbaker post House Sivis: Structure from patreon

House Sivis loves bureaucracy; what is bureaucracy but a maze of words? Many Sivis heirs enjoy negotiation and debate, filling out forms in triplicate and making sure to check every footnote. Every aspect of life in House Sivis is at least twice as complicated as that of any other house. There are always forms to be notarized...

December approaches, and it’s time to pick the next Dragonmarked house I’ll cover. As before, I’m saving House Thuranni until I’ve covered House Phiarlan.

Thanks for your support!

House Sivis: History

keithbaker post House Sivis: History from patreon

During the golden age of the Empire of Dhakaan, the region south of the Howling Peaks and west of the Seawall Mountains was a seat of knowledge. The city that preceded Korranberg was the site of the Imperial archives and the greatest college of the Duur’kala. This area was hit especially hard during the final days of the Da...

House Sivis: The Mark of Scribing

keithbaker post House Sivis: The Mark of Scribing from patreon

Members of the jury, the case before you is clear. This is no simple accident, no story of a merchant unwittingly purchasing faulty goods and passing them on. Benn Grennel performed the ritual that charged his tokens with an aura that could deceive simple divination, making the coins appear to be properly enchanted. But t...

Deep Dive Topic: Faerun!

keithbaker post Deep Dive Topic: Faerun! from patreon

Heroes of Faerun is out in the wild and includes lots of interesting character options. In this month’s Deep Dive, I’m going to go through Heroes of Faerun and explain how I’d work these things into an Eberron campaign. If I get stuck, well, I know a guy who knows a thing or two about Faerun… The Deep Dive wi...

November Q&A Mailbag

Hi everyone!

October was a tough month. Our pug Ping passed away, and toward the end of the month we had a scare with our cat Haggis. Twice we thought we were going to lose him, but he seems to be recovering. If you’ve watched a live Q&A you’ve met Haggis, so please take a moment to send some good thoughts his ...

House Ghallanda: Structure and Customs

keithbaker post House Ghallanda: Structure and Customs from patreon

While some Dragonmarked Houses have a sharp divide between the administration of the House and the guilds that run its businesses, in Ghallanda these two are woven together. Every Ghallanda enclave has at least one active business operating within the building, and guild offices for the Hosteler’s Guild and the Dragontail G...

There are many ways to die on the Talenta Plains. The easiest is to stand still, to wait for malign spirits and hungry ghosts to find you. But even those who stay in motion face many dangers. Sometimes there’s no shelter to be found when predators prowl or when strange storms are brewing. Sometimes mischievous fey or malevo...

November Dragonmark Poll!

It's time to pick the Dragonmarked House I'll cover in November! I don't want to cover Thuranni until I've written about Phiarlan, and I'm going to wait a little longer before I put Tarkanan back on the table, so that leaves just five houses to choose from. Which will it be?
