* ''[[Eberron]]'': 12+ 1, a Baker's dozen. The guy who designed ''[[Eberron]]'' is named Keith Baker. There are lots of examples where you get twelve obvious things and a hidden one. Twelve dragonmarked houses—and the eradicated (?) dragonmark of Death. Twelve Planes—and the sealed Plane of [[Cosmic Horror Story|Xoriat]]. Twelve moons—plus the dark moon.

Though some cynics quite rightfully point out that it works with every number if you just look long enough. |
