how do you pronounce House Phiarlin? “Fire-lin”, “fee-ar-lin”, “fi-ar-lin”, something else? *I* say fee-AR-Lin, but there’s no absolute right answer.

If a person with a dragonmark becomes an undead, would their dragonmark still be active/under their control?
Because if so, I have a pretty amazing story lined up… By canon lore, dragonmarks don’t work for undead. This is a crucial part of the story of Erandis Vol, who’s the last bearer of the Mark of Death but can’t use her in her undead form.

Yes, but they don’t have a culture or nation; they’re usually created by the influence of Lamannia, as a sort of random mutation.

Hey I just had a quick question, I know the traditional dragonmarks are race-locked, and only are on intelligent races, but could animals or even real dragons get aberrant dragonmarks? I don’t know if it’s clearly stated in canon, but the intent is that only humanoids develop aberrant dragonmarks.

question if you don’t mind, what did people call the year before YK? I doubt they would call it “year -3 YK” and in “people” I mean the general consensus around khorvaire, hope you see this 🙂 Prior to Galifar, you had a number of different calendars in use; the point of YK was to establish a unified system. The only pre-Galifar calendar that we've named is the Qabalrin Wheel (QW) which is used by the Aereni.

I’d expect that the Zil had their own calendar, the goblins used something descended from the Dhakaani calendar, and humanity used calendars derived from either Pyrinean or Nulakeshi systems. The YK calendar is most likely based on the Pyrinean model (Pyrine also being the origin of Galifar's interpretation of the Sovereign Host).

So we have an opening on our list for the best Taverns for adventures in Sharn. We want to included one of yours. Tell us your favorite taverns or bars and we will pick one to talk about. SPREAD THE WORD. It's not exactly a tavern, but I always love running scenes in the Crooked Cat in Callestan.

Ythana Moor has the title “Archierophant” (Sharn City of Towers)
As far as reading around Silver flame, That’s the only place I see that title. So what exactly does that mean? Where is she on the pecking order? This is an indication of the impact of the Last War. Short form (long is too long for a tweet) is that the Sharn Church of the Silver Flame established its own hierarchy to show that they were independent of Thrane… which is one reason that Ythana is THE WORST.

I was unknowing of this split you mentioned. What books/articles would contain the long form of this split and more of Ythana’s Corruption. City of towers only mentions/alludes to these in brief. Currently, there are no further sources on it, which is why I was saying it would take more than a tweet to address in detail. It's a good IFAQ topic for my website — perhaps next month.

Is there any guide on how to build your own eldritch machines in some Eberron book? Or should I guide myself with the ones in Rising? Not really; the original 3.5 campaign sourcebook discusses them. But the point of eldritch machines is that they are plot devices; they essentially should do what you need them to do, and there's no specific guidelines or restrictions.
