The countries of [[khorvaire|Khorvaire]], especially the [[five_nations|nations of the central region]], place a greater emphasis on written documents — from forms of identification to letters of credit — than is seen in most campaigns.

====== Chevalière Magique ======

Coût : 75 po

Ces bagues sont remises aux membres des [[Maisons Marquées Du Dragon]] comme moyen d'identification. Une chevalière magique est faite d'argent ou d'or et semble être une chevalière ordinaire avec des pierres précieuses incrustées. Des motifs complexes deviennent visibles lorsque la bague est portée par la personne pour laquelle elle a été conçue.

**Chevalière Magique:** The [[Marque Du Dragon|Marqué par le Dragon]] [[house|houses]] of Khorvaire use these rings extensively for identification purposes. They resemble ordinary signet rings, but are set with gemstones like more decorative rings. Inside a large, central gemstone, an intricate runic pattern — actually an //"arcane mark"// — becomes visible when worn by the person for whom it was constructed. It is extremely unusual for anyone who does not have the //"[[Marque Du Dragon_feats|Favored in House]]"// [[feats|feat]] to carry an Chevalière Magique.

Other members of a house, whether actual scions or important hired help, wear signet brooches to identify their affiliation. These items don’t contain an arcane mark, but are well made from expensive materials.

**Papiers d'Identité:** Most people of the middle and upper classes, at least in the most civilized areas of Khorvaire ([[aundair|Aundair]], [[Brelande|Brelande]], [[karrnath|Karrnath]], [[thrane|Thrane]], [[zilargo|Zilargo]], and the [[morin_holds|Bastions de la Nation]]) carry Papiers d'Identité with them at all times.

Issued by national governments and notarized by House [[sivis|Siri]], these papers present a detailed physical description of a person (the wealthy sometimes commission small portraits of themselves), the person’s name and residence, and in some cases additional information about the person’s affiliations (particularly including any connection to a Maison Marquée du Dragon, royalty, or a large institution).

**Resilient Document:** The [[gnome|gnomes]] of [[zilargo|Zilargo]] are obsessed with the preservation of information. Using alchemical techniques and the exotic woods of [[Aérénal|Aérénal]], the [[library_of_korranberg|Bibliothèque de Korranberg]] developed a material far stronger than paper or parchment.

A resilient document has Hardness 3 and 3 HP; a resilient book has Hardness 3 and 7 HP per inch of thickness. A resilient document is not adversely affected by exposure to water, and has fire resistance 3, which allows it to survive temporary exposure to fire without serious damage.

To create a specific sort of resilient document, add +1 po to the base cost of that document. A resilient book (such as a [[wizard|wizard’s]] spellbook) costs an additional +100 po.

**Lettre de Crédit:** House [[kundarak|Kundarak]], the house that carries the Mark of [[districting|Districting]], operates banks throughout central Khorvaire. A character who has funds on deposit in a Kundarak bank can request from the bank a Lettre de Crédit, which allows her to withdraw funds from a different bank branch.

For many characters, this system is a convenient alternative to carrying wealth around in the form of precious gems, jewelry, or coins. Letters of credit are always notarized with an //"arcane mark"// (usually by [[gnome|gnomes]] from Maison Siri), making them practically impossible to forge. Maison Kundarak does not charge a fee for issuing letters of credit.

**Letter of Marque:** The concept of letters of marque originated during the [[last_war|La Dernière Guerre]], when the rulers of the warring nations granted adventurers permission to attack ships and assets belonging to other nations. The [[treaty_of_Fort_du_trône|Treaty of Fort_du_trône]] declared void all letters of marque that existed at the time, but the idea survives in [[Brelande|Brelande]], though in a rather altered form.

For a fee, the [[npc:boranel_ir_wynarn|king of Brelande]] now issues papers granting adventurers permission to explore and plunder the ruins of [[xen_drik|Xen'drik]]. Though such permission is not technically necessary, wise adventurers are sure to secure it before using [[sharn|Sharn]] as a launching point for expeditions to Xen'drik.

Those who try to sell treasures from Xen'drik on the open market in Brelandemust produce a letter of marque or face stiff fines — on top of forfeiting the treasure they won on their adventures.

**Traveling Papers:** Anyone who travels across [[countries|national]] [[khorvaire|borders]] is usually required to carry traveling papers identifying them, their residence, their destination, and their reason for travel. Traveling papers consist of a parchment sheet with the appropriate information and an //"arcane mark"//, carried in a leather folder. House [[sivis|Siri]], House [[orléans|Orléans]], House [[garda|Garda]], and House [[lyrandar|Lyrandar]] all offer traveling papers that are recognized throughout central Khorvaire.

**Blank Notarized Siri Document:** A representative of House [[sivis|Siri]] notarizes most important legal documents; only an heir with the [[Marque Du Dragon|Least Mark]] of [[scribing|Scribing]] can produce this distinctive arcane mark. The //"arcane mark"// makes things very difficult for forgers. However, unscrupulous members of Maison Siri sell blank sheets of parchment inscribed with the arcane mark, allowing forgers to produce whatever documents they require.

Because of their role in counterfeiting, blank Siri documents are considered contraband. If Maison Siri catches an heir producing blank documents, he is immediately disinherited and held in a Siri jail for treason against the interests of the house.
