THE TY RANTS
The Ty rants are forgers and grifters, specialists in de
ception and the acquisition of information. Most of the
members are changelings, who use their shapeshifting
abilities to fool marks and acquire secrets. There are
magewrights among the Ty rants who can permanently
alter your appearance. So, the Tyrants can steal some
one's identity, but they can also provide a fugitive with
a new life.
If you have a contact in the Ty rants, you might know
someone on the Tyrants Contacts table.

In Precarious, a dwarf tries to smuggle a portable hole
filled with treasures pillaged from Xen'drik past the
guards of the Sham Watch.
In Cliff top, a patrol of guards calls on two dueling
barbarians to throw down their weapons; the fierce war
riors just snarl and rush at each other once more.
In the court of Upper Central, a magistrate orders the
Justiciar of Aureon to blind the prisoner in preparation
for his sentence of perpetual darkness.
The law is a force to be reckoned with in Sham. Even
in places where the watch is notoriously ineffective,
those who would break the law still need to be wary of
zealous guards resistant to bribes or threats.THE SHARN WA TCH
The Sham Watch is responsible for enforcing the laws
of the city. The sentinels of the watch patrol the streets
of Sham, to all outward appearances vigilant for signs
of unrest. In truth, the Sham Watch is riddled with cor
ruption, from the commanding officers down to the low
liest patrollers. Dedicated guards who truly want to pro
tect the innocent do exist. But bribery nonetheless runs
rampant, and the watch has a way of failing to show up
somewhere at the same time that Daask or the Boromar
Clan is perpetrating some misdeed. The DM can find
more information on the watch in chapter 4.AN ARTIFICER, WITH Two ELORITCH
