Prophecy
“I saw fire, and smoke, and… lava. I’m pretty sure it was lava. I saw lightning strike a ship. I saw dancing shadows with hands like knives. I saw an ocean of rats. I saw an army with grey faces and cold blue eyes. I saw an elf, impossibly old, with blank white eyes. I saw an old book, with a black leather binding, that spoke in a language I didn't understand. And I saw this place. Morgrave.”

- There are no books written in the Supernal script with a title that may be translated as “The Book of the Mark” currently contained within the library. However, there are references to three such books located within archival memory. Each book is listed as being part of the private collections of one of the University’s faculty. It has listed them for your convenience.
- “The Book of the Mark” by Selorask Dresk, circa -1,050 YK. In the collection of Dr. Malina Bourdain.
- “The Book of the Mark” Author unknown. Date unknown. In the collection of Grace Shadar.
- “The Book of the Mark” Author unknown. Date unknown. In the Collection of Dr. Shusane.
- Selorask Dresk was an elven religious figure who rose to prominence during the time of Karrn the Conqueror. Originally a Priest of the Sovereign Host, he eventually schismed with the church: Dresk was a Unificationist who believed that the Church of the Host should recognize the gods of the Dark Six as belonging to the same pantheon. His Unification movement had a moment of brief popularity during the time of Karrn’s rule, when numerous sects were forced by the Conqueror to unify into a national church. You don’t find any texts that reference his name with a “Book of the Mark”, but there is a reference to him having “peculiar ideas” concerning Dragonmarks and the Draconic Prophecy. While the official position of the Church is agnostic when it comes to the Prophecy, Dresk felt that the prophecy was divinely inspired.
- Fatio ir'Wynarn is/was one of 12 students from Morgrave Junior Associate's incoming 998 class who never arrived or went missing. At least two of these students were nobility and at least three were associated with the Dragonmarked Houses. In light of information gleaned from one of House Tarkanan's agents, it's extremely likely that these missing students all possessed Dragonmarks, either true-breeding or aberrant, and were abducted and/or killed because of it.

Nobility and Titles
This is the list of nobility and rank for existing characters, and their proper titles, so that I can keep it straight.
Argo ir'Witt: third brother to the Viscount of Witt, a minor landed family with smallholdings in The Hilt. Proper address: Lord ir'Witt.
Percival ir'Tarn: heir designate to the Baron Tarn, non-landed hereditary Baron in Sharn. Proper address: Lord ir'Tarn or My Lord ir'Tarn if directly acting in role of heir designate.
Idun ir'Britacia, second daughter to the Margrave of Britacia, an ancient lineage, Eastern Warden and former holders of the March of Britacia, now located in Darguun. Proper address: Lady ir'Britacia.
What this means: the hierarchy of nobility below royalty (who are always ir'Wynarns) but above commoners is as follows, from highest to lowest: Duke/Duchess, Marquis/Marquess/Margrave, Earl/Countess, Viscount/Viscountess, Baron/Baroness. Landed gentry generally outrank appointed, non-landed gentry of the same rank. By ancient decree, not even the king can parcel out land within Sharn itself, so most of Sharn's major nobility are either non-landed, or possess tiny nearby plots of land. Landed nobility always have "of" between title and land in their formal appellation. Galifar, and by default, Breland, practice full cognatic primogeniture: all land passes to the eldest surviving child, regardless of gender.
In modern Breland, many of the existing social orders are in the process of being overturned. For instance, despite being only a non-landed Baron, Lord ir'Tarn is more personally powerful than many Earls, Marquesses, or even Dukes, because of his potent business holdings and key access to Sharn's commercial traffic thanks to his position within the city's political machine. When push comes to shove, actual power in he realm is always measured by coin in the vault or boots on the ground.
Titles: Generally, you can't go wrong with calling someone Lord or Lady, if unsure. My Lord or My Lady is reserved for the current ruling head of a family, their spouse, and potentially their principle heir or any regents. The "ir" prefix is only used with the lesser address of Lord or lady: in the full address, you would omit it, making it The Baron Tarn, not the Baron ir'Tarn.
Also, anyone with a dragonmark has the right to be called lord or lady, although no other deferment need be accorded and this doesn't denote greater or lesser status. In private, among the dragonmarked, insisting on the Lord or Lady is considered to be something of a dick move, like a professor of anthropology insisting on being called "Doctor".
