Base Class: Monk
The Way of the Ancient Diamond is named after the Blue Dragon of the Draconic Prophecy, it is said that after helping the couatls the blue dragon was blessed by Syberus gaining a new form that would represent his good character becoming the first and only Diamond Dragon to roam Eberron.
In the era of giants it is said that the Ancient Diamond, as he was called, trained good-hearted people to battle Khyber with Draconic power, the old training consisted on getting the feral dragon inside to unveil and be born, for this people went through extreme pain and concentration to have a Dragonmark appear on them.
The Dragonmark of the Ancient is a mark that appears in the heart of a creature that survived the Training of the Polish, this dragonmark is formed of the P symbol in draconic and it is said to be the initial letter of the Diamond Dragons name or representing the Polish the humanoid went through, it is blue and doesn't glow.
After manifesting the mark the humanoid would turn more feral, they would have the mannerisms and habits of a Dragon, generally they would speak in a very gutural broken common or speak in just Draconic if they know the language. The Ancient now would teach them the basics of martial combat and how a calm mind and a controlled body would activate the mark, then, if worthy, he would promote the apprentice to a master and he would be responsible in teaching the way and Fighting the demons from Khyber. The tradition now has around 100,000 years old and is still a very secluded and difficult art, most people either abandon or die during the Training of the Polish.
The art has only now finally left Argonnessen and reached Khorvaire after a great explosion made the current commander of the Diamonds apprehensive of Khyber's return
The Silver flame was founded in the same time and so before The Ancient Diamond went back to Argonnessen they helped each other this is why the Silver Flame knows of the Diamonds and respects them, a monk of the Way of the Ancient Diamond will be helped by someone of the Church of the Silver Flame and vice versa.
