a gnome district known as “Little Zilargo.”

Adventurers who visit Den’iyas should be careful

not to get involved in the many intrigues and feuds

that play out between the gnome residents.

MIDDLE MENTHIS

This ward is the most diverse in Sharn, and

includes communities drawn from across

Khorvaire. The Little Plains district draws

before the Last War; this has become a haven

for Cyrans wealthy enough to avoid the refugee

camps of High Walls. This results in a diverse

array of cuisine, entertainment, and services

drawing on the traditions of these places.

The Everbright district may be of particular

interest to adventurers. This is a hub for mystical

goods and services. There’s a wide assortment of

magewrights, and the shops have a good selection

of common and uncommon magic items. With

that said, the people of Middle Menthis are

law-abiding folk; if you’re looking for spellcasters

to help you with illegal activities or want to sell

stolen artifacts, you should turn to Lower Dura.

LOWER MENTHIS

Providing cheap entertainment to the masses,
