[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 9288536, member: 6901101"] I'm sorry. Maybe I am not being clear. You are not using the book, you are using a line from the book. Here is what it says about houses: "Long ago, the families that carry the marks joined together to form Dragonmarked houses. Over the course of centuries, these houses have used their gifts to establish powerful monopolies. For example, only House Lyrandar heirs with the Mark of Storms, can pilot airships. The control over vital services gives the houses tremendous power. In the past the Dragonmarked houses were held in check by the united kingdom of Galifar. But in the wake of the Last War, people wonder if any nation has the power to enforce its wishes on the houses." (Pg. 37) Notice a few things here, especially since this is when they introduce the houses. All the references are from [B]Eberron[/B]. Notice it doesn't mention Neverwinter or Ten Towns or any other place in the FR. Notice it doesn't reference any wars in the FR - only a war in Khorvaire. Better yet, go read the first chapter of the book, you know, the one that tells you how to use the book. And then highlight all the times it mentions that realm. (Hint - almost every other sentence will be highlighted.) Once that is done, now go pull some random line out from a house and explain why it must exist in FR. It doesn't. But... That doesn't make it impossible, or even unlikely, that the DM can't place it into the FR realms setting. Somewhere on the Storm Coast, there may be a Dragonmark house. I find it fascinating that no one complained about squeezing in the beloved Saltmarsh adventures into their FR map. Yet, to squeeze in a dragonmarked house or two into an entire continent is impossible. [/QUOTE]
