Content

For your convenience, the full Lyrandar content is here; I've also posted a preview for non-patrons. In the meantime: We've now done three giant Dragonmarked House articles, and Vadalis is next in the queue. But with three complete, I want to check in and see whether the content has met your expectations. Currently I've followed a formula where I start by talking about the Mark itself (including focus items and other details) and then write about HISTORY, STRUCTURE, and FAMILY. Do you enjoy all of these pieces, or are there elments you could do without? Or, at this point, do you feel that you've seen enough of the Dragonmarked Houses and would just as soon move on to something entirely different?

Check all of the sections you enjoy! And feel free to share any specific feedback in the comments.

I really appreciate the extensive lore for the families, their histories, and their structure. It's a great way to develop on themes and show how everything branches out. I don't tend to use the Mark Miscellany quite as much because there haven't been opportunities in my games to use the items listed, but I do appreciate the lore they add. I'm not getting tired of this year's theme anytime soon, but if you would rather change to something else, I'm okay with that.

Please, don't you **dare** quit on us now, Keith! You've given us a taste of the intricate workings of a few of the great Houses, and it would be criminal to stop now! Please continue until you've covered each one with the thorough attention to detail that we all love so much about your writing!

These articles were so good I realized I should be supporting you on Patreon.

Please don't stop, I love the articles and the way you structured them.

These articles are amazing. Great mechanical ideas on the marks, and the lore is not only fascinating but usable. (I so appreciate your “why does this matter?” approach to lore.) Honestly these articles are *inspiring* work. A thousand thank yous.

Lloyd Alexander fanfic: "Heroic friends, Gurghi cannot possibly be the only completionist here, can he?! Oh great bestower of stories, have mercy upon us! Leave us not in the Lurch of Incomplete Collections! We shall wail with great whinings and pinings!" Saying this, the shaggy diminutive creature beat the ground with his fists while rocking forth and back...

I’m loving the articles so far, and I hope we see every house get the same treatment. I’m going to be starting a new Eberron game in a couple of months and these have really inspired me to make the houses an even bigger part of the story. Once this series is done, I hope we see similar deep dives on the structure and history other organizations like the Emerald Claw, Aurum, Dreaming Dark, Church of the Silver Flame, etc.
