heritage. It is a haven for any Karrnathi travelers passing through Sharn. Rumors say there's a Landing
temple devoted to the Blood ofVol in Graywall, but if that's the case, it's kept hidden.

but in times of trouble, Black Arch can become an impassable fortress. The Sharn Watch
maintains the local garrison. House Orien and House Sivis both maintain outposts here, en­
suring that messages can be swiftly delivered through the city and beyond.

This warehouse district is the gateway to the Cogs, and shipments of ore and other goods Lower Tavick's
regularly pass through here. House Kundarak has high-security storage facilities for rent, and Landing
a House Deneith outpost hires out Blademark mercenaries for venturing below.
Dragoneyes tends to the needs of weary travelers, providing a wide range of lodging, food, Lower Tavick's
and entertainment for tourists. It's also the home of most of Sharn's changeling population, Landing
and many changelings use their gifts to entertain and amuse travelers. Some say that it's the
home of the Tyrants criminal guild, but if so, that place is well hidden.
This district was converted into an internment center during the Last War. Since the end of
the war, it has been transformed into a refugee camp. Most of the residents are Cyrans who
fled the Mourning, but High Walls also includes Brelish citizens who lost their homes in the
war. It's a crowded and dangerous place, but it allows residents to maintain a squalid lifestyle
at no cost. Currently the gates are open, but the Sharn Watch could seal them at any time.
This district is based around Terminus Station, where the lightning rail enters and leaves
Sharn. Most local businesses serve the station or travelers.
Travelers who arrive on the main road enter Sharn through Wroann's Gate, passing below a
huge statue of the legendary Queen Wroaan. Many of the dragonmarked houses maintain
shops here so travelers can send messages, hire bodyguards, or make use of other services.
