can only be used once per day. House Jorasco is
also the primary source of healing potions; the
quantity and quality available will depend on the
size of the healing house.
House Jorasco demands payment before it
renders any service. The Church of the Silver
Flame and priests of Boldrei often maintain
charitable clinics, but most of these facilities only
provide mundane healing.
Resurrection is possible in Eberron, but it’s
rare. House Jorasco has a handful of altars
WNZM[]ZZMK\QWV, and someone with the Greater
Dragonmark of Healing and 5,000 gp worth
of dragonshards can use one of these altars to
perform raise dead. Beyond this, there’s a few
divine healers with the power to raise the dead.
But no one uses this power lightly. Regardless
of the method used, it’s hard to pull someone

with each day that passes after death. Opening
a channel to Dolurrh can potentially result in a
malevolent spirit taking possession of the body;


in a general release of hostile ghosts; or even a
marut inevitable manifesting and attacking the
spellcaster. All of which means that resurrection
is possible for player characters and exceptional
NPCs, but it’s not a reliable service for the
general public. Most of the time, when someone
dies, they stay dead.

TRANSPORTATION
All the standard modes of transportation can be
found in Khorvaire. People use boats, barges,
horses, coaches, and more. If something moves
over land it’s likely run or licensed by House
Orien. If it moves along the water or through
the air, it’s likely connected to House Lyrandar.
Both houses license independent agents, so the
captain of a mundane galleon won’t necessarily
be a Lyrandar heir, but the Lyrandar seal on
a licensed ship assures you of the quality of the
vessel and its crew. Eberron also features some
unique modes of transport.
