DragonMarked Houses

Powerful dynastic guilds dominated and regulated the magical economy, called the Dragonmarked Houses. The DragonMarked houses include barons of industry whose influence rivals that of the monarchs. Their power derives from their dragonmarks; magical sigils passed down through their bloodlines. During the world war, the houses remained neutral and made considerable profit selling their services to all sides. There are rumors that the houses directly contributed to the escalation of the war to ensure their source of revenue continued, but nothing that can be proved.

The dragonmarked houses emerged from the war stronger than ever, with a divided Atrea more dependent on their services than ever. Before the Last War, a united Atrea had imposed many restrictions on the houses, but today no province leader or monarch can afford to break ties with any of the dragonmarked houses.
