Welcome to Eberron
Something has changed. The ways in which the draconic prophecy manifests have run amok. More and more children from the houses are being born who are developing true marks than ever before and aberrant marks are manifesting left and right. There are even tales of aberrant marks being seen on races that by all rights shouldn't have them at all! Whether or not things are going to end up with a renaissance or a calamity has yet to be seen. But you can be sure, the winds, they are a changin'!
Turmoil in the Houses
For the past thousand years the power of the dragonmarks has been a constant influence on the lives of all those within the five nations. Recently some of those born to the dragonmarked houses have seen a dramatic increase in power. Many dragonmark heirs have yet to discover the upper limit of their power and these changes are the cause of many new power struggles which are shaking the very foundations of the dragonmark houses. Is this what the dragons fear, a culmination of the draconic prophecy manifesting in the lesser races? Or is it merely another step in the long process of revelation? Only time, and perhaps the intervention of heroes, will tell.
The Rise of House Tarkanan
Just as some of those who bear the true marks are manifesting greater and greater powers, so too are those who some believe bear the blessing of Khyber. Some with aberrant marks are increasing in power as well, possibly even reaching powers not seen since Lord Halas and the Lady of the Plague sundered Sharn and left it a smoking ruin. House Tarkanan, largely a criminal organization, is on the rise. But all is not well within the house, two opposing factions are trying to steer the house in very different directions. One, further into the shadows, and the other, out into the light of day.
Setting Considerations
The thing I enjoy most about being Mister Caverntm is world building and creating a collaborative story. This means that as far as I'm concerned the PCs are the center of the story at all times. Also, since no two ideas of what a published setting are are going to be alike, my vision of Eberron is almost certainly going to be different from your vision in at least a few key ways. I'm also perfectly willing to change facts of the setting to suit my liking, and the purposes of the collaborative narrative. I'll try to list these differences here in the Setting Considerations page, but I'm sure I won't list everything since many things I take for granted someone else will probably take for granted in an entirely different way. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and game on.
