be found here, along with displays of traditional skills and pastimes.
Safer than the lower wards and less expensive than Upper Menthis, Smoky Towers has plenty Middle Menthis
of entertainment options. The Classic Theater is its most popular venue, but Smoky Towers
offers a wide variety of more exotic fare. Dinner theater, changeling burlesque, and other
diversions can be found in Smoky Towers. Thovanic Hall has begun performing works from
Darguun and Droaam featuring monstrous performers. Smoky Towers has also become a
haven for Cyran refugees wealthy enough to avoid High Walls.

of Lhazaar immigrants, and the Broken Anchor is a tavern catering to Lhazaar travelers.
The Downstairs district is primarily known for food and drink. Though most of its taverns
and inns are only modest in quality, the Four Sails serves some of the finest seafood in
Sharn. The recent success of the Diamond Theater has also drawn travelers to the district.

Lower Menthis

This district is a destination for those who seek illicit forms of entertainment. Many forms of Lower Menthis
illegal gambling and paid companionship can be found in Firelight. It's also the most com-
mon location of the Burning Ring.
A district with a notorious reputation, celebrated for cheap entertainment and infamous for
its dangerous alleys. Its theaters specialize in musical comedy and lowbrow entertainment,
and there are lots of opportunities for hopeful amateurs to get on a stage in Torchfire.

Oak Towers

High Hope

Holdfast

North Market

Stoneyard

Description Location
A peaceful residential district with many wealthy and aristocratic estates. Upper
Northedge
A residential district where housing ranges from comfortable to aristocratic. Construction in Upper
Oak Towers uses materials and styles drawn from Aerenal, and the district is home to many
of Sharn's established elf and half-elf families.
This district is a bastion for the culture and traditions of the elves of Aerenal. It includes a va­
riety of businesses specializing in Aereni goods, as well as a temple of the Undying Court.
A center for worship for the people of Northedge, High Hope includes temples of the Silver
Flame and the Sovereign Host, along with many smaller shrines. It lacks the grandeur of Sov­
ereign Towers in Central Plateau, but has an atmosphere of solemn devotion.
Holdfast is the heart of Sharn's native dwarf population. The ancestors of the Holdfast
dwarves helped build Sharn, and many of its people are stonemasons, architects, and
smiths. Holdfast dwarves are proud of their Sharn roots and have little interest in Mror cus­
toms or traditions.
The population of this peaceful residential district is mostly made up of dwarves, humans,
and half-elves. Neighbors here generally stand together to deal with any trouble.
The open market in this region largely deals in simple, locally produced goods. Due to the
significant shifter population in Lower Northedge, North Market offers goods and services
aimed at shifters (grooming services, claw care, and so forth) as well as those reflecting an
Eldeen influence.
