Dragonshard

Dragonshards are translucent stones with pulsating veins of color within them. They can be found in various parts of Eberron , and come in three distinct varieties, varying in color, location, and uses. [1] [2] Dragonshards are used to enhance the powers of a dragonmark , or in the creation of magic items , artifacts , or constructs . [3] [4] Dragonshards are important to many of the magic technologies used throughout the Five Nations . [5]

Siberys dragonshards

Siberys dragonshards are golden in color and fall from the Ring of Siberys , which means they are usually found on the surface in equatorial regions of Eberron. [2] Siberys dragonshards are the rarest of the three varieties and are only sold in quantities in Stormreach on the continent of Xen'drik , or in Sharn on Khorvaire . [6] Siberys dragonshards are most closely linked with dragonmarks and are often used to enhance dragonmark abilities. [3]

Siberys shard amplify energy and are commonly used in magic items that interact with Dragonmarks . [7]

Khyber dragonshards

Khyber dragonshards are generally a dark blue or black and can be found beneath the surface of Eberron in deep underground caverns. [2] While Siberys dragonshards are the hardest to find, Khyber dragonshards are the most dangerous to obtain because of the denizens lurking in Khyber . [8] Khyber dragonshards have an affinity for binding and are most notable for their use in crafting bound-elemental items, such as the lightning rail . [4]

Where Siberys shards amplify energy, Khyber shards bind it. This makes them useful in items that disable or block. [7]

Eberron dragonshards

Eberron dragonshards, also known as bloodstones, are typically pink in color and can be found within egg-shaped stones buried beneath topsoil or the watery muck in swampy regions. [2] Eberron dragonshards are the most common of the three varieties, especially on the continent of Khorvaire. [9] Like other dragonshards, they are used in the creation of magic items, but have a broader spectrum of uses than the other types of dragonshards. They can also be used as components for spellcasting. [4]
