Greetings!
Tomorrow—Wednesday, December 10th at 6 PM Pacific Time—I will be doing a Deep Dive Q&A delving into the newly released Forge of the Artificer. You can post questions you'd like to see addressed here, or join live tomorrow on the Threshold Discord! I hope to see you there.

House Sivis loves bureaucracy; what is bureaucracy but a maze of words? Many Sivis heirs enjoy negotiation and debate, filling out forms in triplicate and making sure to check every footnote. Every aspect of life in House Sivis is at least twice as complicated as that of any other house. There are always forms to be notarized, clerks to be consulted, and if it’s a weekday in Olarune, you have to get that form in before the second bell rings. House Sivis has the same general structure as the...

Hello Everyone!
I'm juggling a lot of different things at the moment, some of which I can discuss and some of which I can't. My company Twogether Studios just launched a new dice game. Wheels are turning with our Daggerheart project, and I should hopefully be able to talk about that in January. I've been traveling a lot for work and family, and that makes it hard to write. The ups...

Hi Everyone!
Between PAX Unplugged and visiting family for Thanksgiving, I’m a little behind on House Sivis. But I will get caught up, and in December we’ll explore House Kundarak! Meanwhile, tomorrow night I’ll be holding the Mailbag Miscellany Q&A answering questions you’ve posed this month. You can take part live at 6 PM Pacific Time, this Wednesday, November 26th, on the Threshold Stage channel of the Discord! (2025-11-26 02:36:00 +0000 UTC View Post
December approaches, and it’s time to pick the next Dragonmarked house I’ll cover. As before, I’m saving House Thuranni until I’ve covered House Phiarlan.
Thanks for your support!

During the golden age of the Empire of Dhakaan, the region south of the Howling Peaks and west of the Seawall Mountains was a seat of knowledge. The city that preceded Korranberg was the site of the Imperial archives and the greatest college of the Duur’kala. This area was hit especially hard during the final days of the Daelkyr incursion. While Dyrrn the Corruptor prepared the ritual that would destroy the Dar bond to the Uul Dhakaan, two other Daelkyr unleashed devastating linguistic assa...

Members of the jury, the case before you is clear. This is no simple accident, no story of a merchant unwittingly purchasing faulty goods and passing them on. Benn Grennel performed the ritual that charged his tokens with an aura that could deceive simple divination, making the coins appear to be properly enchanted. But this isn’t a simple case of fraud, no. If Grennel’s tokens were supposed to protect the bearer from evil spirits or bad luck, we might just urge the buyer to beware. B...

Heroes of Faerun is out in the wild and includes lots of interesting character options. In this month’s Deep Dive, I’m going to go through Heroes of Faerun and explain how I’d work these things into an Eberron campaign. If I get stuck, well, I know a guy who knows a thing or two about Faerun… The Deep Dive will be live at 10 AM Pacific Time on Saturday, November 15th. Ask questions here and I’ll work them into the dive!

Hi everyone!
October was a tough month. Our pug Ping passed away, and toward the end of the month we had a scare with our cat Haggis. Twice we thought we were going to lose him, but he seems to be recovering. If you’ve watched a live Q&A you’ve met Haggis, so please take a moment to send some good thoughts his way.
November is the month of HOUSE SIVIS, and the first Sivis article will be posted this week!
We're going to have two live Q&As this month:
The full Ghallanda article can be found here—including a deep dive into the Cuisine of the Gold Dragon Inn from Rebecca Gray—but this is the remainder that you haven't already seen yet!
When the Mark of Hospitality first appeared on the Talenta Plains, the halflings who bore the Mark came together to form their own tribe. Ghallanda has been united since that d...

While some Dragonmarked Houses have a sharp divide between the administration of the House and the guilds that run its businesses, in Ghallanda these two are woven together. Every Ghallanda enclave has at least one active business operating within the building, and guild offices for the Hosteler’s Guild and the Dragontail Guild are always found within enclaves. Ghallanda heirs aren’t required to serve in a guild, but most heirs are taught the basic principles of Ghallanda trades beginning...

I'll be wrapping up House Ghallanda next week, and then we'll be moving on to House Sivis! In working on Ghallanda, I did something new thing week — commissioning a map for a Ghallanda Hospitable Hall. If this is something you all enjoy, I might continue to do it in future months — either continuing to tie it to the Dragonmarked Houses (for example, a Sivis Message Station) or commissioning a map of something that inspires me each month. Since you're the people this is...

Hi everyone! This is a bit of bonus content—a sidebar about Ghallanda's use of extradimensional spaces. The map is the work of Albert Holaso: keep in mind that it is just one example of what can be done with the space provided by Ghallanda's Hospitable Hall. This is a simple small inn, with comfortable guest rooms, a master bedroom with an office for the caster, and ...

There are many ways to die on the Talenta Plains. The easiest is to stand still, to wait for malign spirits and hungry ghosts to find you. But even those who stay in motion face many dangers. Sometimes there’s no shelter to be found when predators prowl or when strange storms are brewing. Sometimes mischievous fey or malevolent fiends steal food or spoil it, condemning travelers to misery and death. The Talenta tell countless tales of those who have fallen on their journeys, warning the you...
