The Population of the town of Sterngate…

Within the walls of the town, reside some 877 people, and another 520 people reside in the surrounding countryside within a few miles of the town.  The majority of the town’s population is made up of humans (who number 68% of the population), then a hodge-podge of races make up the remainder, including: Halflings (7%); Elves (6%); Dwarves (5%); Gnomes (5%); Half-elves (4%); Goblinoids (4%); and Other races (1%).

Each of the dragonmarked houses are not traced back to a single member bearing a certain mark, rather that certain marks manifested in certain regions on specific races and families. After several generations these families began to understand the significance of each individual mark and came to see certain marks as “true marks”, marks that breed true in a bloodline. Aberrant marks are those that manifest as a consequence of interbreeding of bloodlines.

Ultimately the true bloodlines would wage war on those with aberrant marks in a conflict known as the War of the Mark. The results of this conflict would unite the true bloodlines officially into the current houses represented and lead to a founding of the council known as the Twelve. The Twelve would become responsible for codifying the traditions of the dragonmarked families and set forth the standards by which the current houses are governed. Read More →

In Eberron, most people identify not with a specific patron deity but with the church to which they belong. The faithful of the Sovereign Host, for example, usu-ally revere the nine deities together in a single temple, though shrines devoted to the individual deities appear in major towns and cities across Khorvaire. The faithful may give particular reverence to one deity, usually the one whose sphere of influence coincides most closely with their profession or situation in life, but they collectively view themselves as loyal followers of the Sovereign Host. A paladin devotee of Dol Arrah and a rogue who prays to Kol Korran are members of the same religion. They may differ in many respects, certainly in alignment and ethics, but they do not see religion as one of the lines dividing them. A paladin who serves Dol Arrah and a paladin who serves the Silver Flame, however, are members of different churches and different religions. They are united in their ideals and their devotion to law and good, and they might work together extensively in pursuit of common goals, but they are likely to hold endless discussions or even heated arguments concerning theological issues and fundamental beliefs about the nature of the world.
