Dragonmarks

Long ago, when the dragonrunes of the gods were shattered across the Land of Kilned Runes during the ___, some of these rune's shards found him within the bodies of mortal lineages of the era. From groups of humans closely aligned with the god of protection to halflings who came across the remnants of the dragonrune of healing, these people possesses a dragonmark, a symbol etched on the skin in colors more vivid than any tattoo, magical power made flesh. After generations upon generations of time since the gods seperated from the Kilnlands, dragonmarks are growing to that of a rarity as now only perhaps one in six people of these regions carry the mark of the divines on their body.
A dragonmark enhances the user’s ability to perform certain tasks. For example, the Mark of Making guides the hands of the smith, while the Mark of Shadows helps its bearer avoid enemies. The power of a dragonmark can also manifest in more dramatic ways. The Mark of Storms can scatter enemies with a blast of wind, while the Mark of Shadows can weave illusions. You can’t buy or choose to develop a dragonmark; each mark is tied to distant bloodlines within specific species, as summarized in the Dragonmarks and Their Species table. A dragonmark appears on a person around adolescence, though not everyone on the family tree manifests the mark.
