Breland. Awesome magical powers? Aundair. We're going to save the world by taking it over? Thrane. Legions of undead? Karrnath. Blood-soaked vengeance? Cyre. Want to be a merchant prince? Well, then you have the Dragonmarked Houses. After all is said and done, and you are Emperor of Khorvaire, well, then you can move on to important matters, like the Quori, or the Lords of Dust, or eradicating the Daelkyr. They're all going to want a piece of your pie. And you don't even have to worry about silly considerations about losing all of your powers because you had a change of heart, hehehe... Well, at least if you're a cleric.Like in my above example... an evil scion of House Orien. So much to do! Climb the ladder of the house hierarchy, rebuild a lightning rail connection through the Mournland, eliminate those pesky half-elves to the north (and thus the competition), muscle those animal-lovers to the west into becoming subservient to your house, slowly tighten your grip on the trade-networks on the continent until you have a strangehold, overturn the Korth Edicts so you can own lands, choke the economic life out of the Five Nations until they are begging for your mercy and capitulate, making Orien the new royal line... And that is just the beginning,  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> . Oh yeah, can't forget converting to the Blood of Vol (Divinity from Blood? Sounds like its fairly compatible with Dragonmarked lines.), overcoming and resurrecting Vol so that you can breed a new line of the Mark of Death, to enforce your power, and appointing yourself as the new leader. Eventually, after all is said and done, you may have to resort to vampirism yourself to stay alive, but hey, that is the price of power, hehehe...</blockquote>
