—Kessler, Sharn bard

Humans have dominated Khorvaire for

thousands of years. They founded the Five

Nations and make up the majority of the

population in these countries. Despite their

relatively short lifespan—or perhaps because

of it—humans are innovative, adaptable, and

aggressive, always pushing their limits and

pursuing new ideas.

Humans are extremely diverse; a barbarian

from the Demon Wastes has little in common

with a Brelish rogue. When you’re creating a

human character, consider where you’re from

and background. Chapter 2 presents an

overview of the nations of Khorvaire and

ideas for characters tied to those nations.

However, these are ideas—

HUMANS AND DRAGONMARKS

Humans possess a wide range of Dragonmarks,

House Cannith is one of the most powerful

houses, creating both magic and mundane

items with the Mark of Making. House Orien

maintains the Lightning Rail and trade

caravans that run across the continent. House

Deneith brokers the services of bodyguards

and mercenaries. House Vadalis uses the Mark

creatures. House Tharashk produces bounty

hunters, prospectors, and

inquisitives.
