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:
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, especially Xen'drik. They are the rarest of the three varieties and can only be purchased in quantity in the city of Stormreach on the continent of Xen'drik (Sharn was another trade hub, but that was before the Great Freezing). Siberys dragonshards are most closely linked with dragonmarks and are often used to enhance dragonmark abilities. Khyber Dragonshards
Khyber dragonshards are generally dark blue or black and can be found deep beneath the surface of Eberron in the region known as Khyber, sometimes called the Underdark. While Siberys dragonshards are the hardest to find, Khyber dragonshards are the most dangerous to obtain because of the deadly creatures that lurk where it can be found. Khyber dragonshards have an affinity for binding and are most notable for their use in crafting bound-elemental items, such as the lightning rail or air ships. Eberron Dragonshards
Eberron dragonshards, also known as bloodstones, are typically pink in color and can be found within egg-shaped deposits buried beneath the topsoil or in the watery muck of swampy regions. They are the most common of the three varieties, especially on the continent of Khorvaire. Like other dragonshards, they are used in the creation of magic items, but have a broader spectrum of uses than the other types. They are also often used as spellbooks and even as components for spellcasting.
