The Mark
The Mark of the Emperor
"The Mark of the Emperor" is genetic and granted by Sorellyn to the first Emperor of the L'Sheriss Royal Line, although its full effects didnt show up until his son. Physical characteristics of the Line are bright, usually sapphire blue (uncommonly different shades of blue or amethyst purple) eyes with unmatched intensity. They have a slight built, height frequently one to two heads shorter than average. They are generally rather handsome but not excessively so.
The Mark is both a blessing and a curse. Until recently, it was thought to be exclusively male.
