Identification papers

Most people of the middle and upper classes, at least in central Khorvaire, carry identification papers with them at all times. Issued by national governments and notarized by House Sivis.   Identification papers are issued by the same facilities that process business licenses: dedicated licensing offices in larger settlements, or local magistrates in smaller ones affiliated with or operated in conjunction with House Sivis.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

It is only possible to obtain identification papers in the nations recognized by the Treaty of Thronehold, and it becomes increasingly difficult outside the Five Nations. The Mror Holds and Zilargo readily issue papers, but applicants elsewhere might have to travel some distance to find a magistrate or House Sivis enclave that is willing and able to assemble such documents.

Rarity
In some areas, individuals must carry identification papers with them at all times and be prepared to show those papers to officials at a moment’s notice. This is particularly true in border areas (especially when the borders are not quite clear or some dispute persists about the lines established in the Treaty of Thronehold), and also in Throneport itself, which is governed by an international council of representatives from the Five Nations.
Base Price
2 gp, with portrait 5 gp. Forged papers cost around 10 gp
Raw materials & Components
These papers present a detailed physical description of a person (sometimes with an accompanying small portrait), the person’s name and residence, and some additional information about the person’s affiliations (particularly including any connection to a dragonmarked house, royal or noble family, or a large institution). The papers are usually kept in a durable container of some kind—a leather folder, metallic case, or other decorative holder.
