best traits of both races, with the strength of the
orc and the cunning of the human.
The rise of House Tharashk has brought
prosperity to the Marches. Many of the Marcher
clans work for the house in some capacity, and
you could be an agent of the house even if you
don’t carry the Mark of Finding, working as a
bounty hunter or a clever investigator. But there
are other paths you could follow.

• The Gatekeeper druids of the Shadow
  Marches have defended Eberron from
  aberrations and the daelkyr for thousands
  of years. As a druid, ranger, or barbarian,
  you could be a Gatekeeper initiate pursuing
  a quest in the wider world.


• The Cults of the Dragon Below also have
  deep roots in Shadow Marches. While
  cultists are often evil, the main thing about
  the Cults is that their beliefs generally seem
  like madness to others. You could be a half-
  orc barbarian who’s ventured beyond the
  5IZKPM[[WaW]KIVÅVL_WZ\PaMVMUQM[#
  slaying powerful foes is the only way to earn
  your passage to the paradise that lies within
  the heart of the hollow world. This is also a
  logical path for a warlock using the Great
  Old One pact.


• You could be a simple hunter from the
  Shadow Marches. You might have fought
  as a mercenary in the Last War, or you
  could be seeking your fortune or a real
  challenge in the world that lies beyond.

HALF-ORCS AND DRAGONMARKS

The half-orcs of House Tharashk carry the Mark
of Finding. House Tharashk licenses bounty
hunters, inquisitives, and prospectors; if you want
something found, turn to Tharashk.
