Fear of other houses, they could be the next, to loose their mark. Arcanix and The Twelve would explode in activity to understand what is happening. All the secret organisations trying to take advantage of the chaos in many places of Khorvaire. Perhaps some members of the chamber coming to investigate... What do you think?

Deneith and Kundarak, on the other hand side, would have only little problems since they don't seem to rely on their marks that much anyway.

Sivis- no comunication network, or at least a drop in efficiency. orien - no lightining road Jorasco- a drastic cut in healing everywhere and healing item production Cannithproduction would drop, expecially that of magic items. and so on for all the others.

Grummush_Rogue 03-01-07, 08:54 PM	First! all houses come together to kill the markless house. Second! houses may band together and abandon magic or persue other fields ie evocation Third! Hell literally springs forth on the world. :OMG!

Kreistor2 03-08-07, 01:07 PM	Certainly there would be agencies trying to figure out the disappearance of the mark. The House would not come crashing down, but as time passes, the House, having lost its natural advantage in its marketplace, would gradually lose control of the guilds to naturally talented individuals from the normal community. I don't think its possible for a power like a House to have the wolves descend on it quickly (or, at the very least, they'd be able to stave off the first few attempts from sheer momentum). A smart House leader would understandt he inevitable and negotiate the descent of the House to normal status willingly, in order to retain some advantages as long as possible.

What is it about it that you don't like? /just asking/ I like the Dragonmarks, I just think it'd be better if in this scenario the marks were simply denied to their bearers, not that they've just disappeared. At least I think that's what I meant when I wrote that.
