Dragonmarked Houses

There are twelve Dragonmarked Houses. They are extended families who are born with a hereditary magical birthmark/tattoo that gives them specialised magical power. Each house uses the power of their Dragonmark to ensure that they have a monopoly on a certain type of business. They are considered politically neutral and operate across national borders; this made them gain a lot of status during the Last War.
