Aspect Markings
These are some short lists of Dragonblooded Aspect marks; they aren't sorted by Breeding or Essence intensity, but some common sense should apply -- really extreme manifestations are probably best saved for high-Essence or -Breeding individuals.
Half-Caste will have subdued markings if any at all, mostly pale tints of color or possibly some faint patterning of flesh.
Well-blooded but mortals Dynasts may well also bear some weakest of elemental marks due to the abundance of Dragonblooded in their bloodline, as noted for the offspring of < Essence-4 individuals in E:tAb.
