The 14th Family that bore the 13th mark was destroyed 1500 years ago.  There are 3 types of marks.The True Marks, which have 3 power levels (Least, Lesser, Greater), Abberant, and Sybris. Least, Lesser, Greater are progressive and each provides a single spell like ability which can be used once a day, plus the least mark provides a +2 Craft Bonus to a skill (which family you belong to determines your craft bonus). You can aquire them through progressive feats (Least, Lesser, and Greater Dragonmarked), or two feats and a 5 level Prestige Class (Least Dragonmarked, Favored In House, and Dragonmarked Heir). The class increases your dragonmark, and gives you additional action points.  Sibriys Dragonmarks can only be taken via a Prestige Class, the Heir of Sibrys. It cant be taken if you have any other dragonmarked feats or abilities. IT provides you with one really strong spell like ability related to your family. Abberant Dragonmarks are formed from the mixing of blood, or completly randomly upon one of the dragonmarked races (Elves, Humans, Half Elves, Half Orcs, Dwarves, Gnomes, Halflings). Note that the above mentioned dragonmarks can also only appear on these races. All 14 families draw from them. An Abberant Dragonmark gives you a single spell like ability. None of them are the same as the ones you get from a true dragonmark.  Abberant Dragonmarked individuals are shunned and or/hunted. They are belived to be an anema. Dragonshards (Eberron) are the cause of Dragonmarks. Dragonshards can also help modify or amplify dragonmarked abilities, including being focus for vehicles and magic items which require a dragonmarked to operate them (through using their ability). The 13th Mark, which is the Mark of Death, is....dead/inactive. Only one creature bears it any longer. Vol the Half Dragon Half Elf (Dragon/Elf, not Dragon/HalfElf), Lich wizard bears the inert 13th mark. It is inert because she is not alive. You can read more about her story in the ECS. Any other questions?</blockquote>
