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.

Quick question for the man himself! Kalashtar and gender. In EE it suggests that one could inherit the Quori of their parent of opposite gender. Is this extremely rare /or intended? Everywhere else I read it’s said that Kalashtar and their Quori are “gender-locked”. The idea that they were gender-locked is something from the original edition that we're largely dropping in the spirit of "play the character you want to play."

Sharn is under attack by a zombie plague, dragon, war or similar huge ongoing catastrophe. Apart from the Spotlighted PCs, The Redcloaks and Sharn Watch, Who else would be on urgent response for short term, and long term defense/Evacuation of the city if needed? The Blackened Book for magical support, the Guardians of the Gate to manage long term defense or coordinate evacuation.

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) November 18, 2020

If it's a plague, I'd expect the mayor to coordinate with House Jorasco.

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) November 18, 2020

Sure. This is covered on page 130 of the Sharn sourcebook: 'The knights and paladins of the church
Okay, that’s helpful, and in a campaign to reclaim the city- What about the silver flame? I know they are from thrane but if Zombies were overrunning a city would they intervene? (Plague or not) templars of the Silver Flame are allowed to “do
battle with inhuman forces of darkness as it is
necessary to protect the peoples of Khorvaire.”'

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) November 18, 2020

But there's not very MANY of them. The sourcebook notes that Coldflame Keep, built as a garrison for a hundred templars, currently only quarters eight.
