THINGS TO Do IN CENTRAL

PLATEAU

Looking for work or amusement in this quarter? Some

of the things you can do here include:

Attend an auction. The Aurora Gallery in Platinum

Heights is the finest auction house in Sharn and spe­

cializes in auctions of exotic magic items and relics

from Xen'drik. You never know what's going to be

available-or who will be bidding against you.

Plan a heist. Perhaps your goals depend on recovering

an item a villain has hidden in the vaults of Korranath.

Can you penetrate the most secure facility in Sharn?

Go to jail. The King's Citadel in Ambassador Towers is

also Sham's high-security prison.

Worship. The primary temples of the Sovereign Host

and the Silver Flame are located in Middle Central,

along with a host of shrines to specific sovereigns

and lesser faiths. Take part in a festival or drop in for

some spiritual guidance!

Engage in espionage. Whether you work for your nation

or get entangled in the schemes of the dragonmarked

hou!es, Middle Central is home to a lot of powerful

people who have a use for capable agents.

CHAPTER 3 I SHARN, CITY OF TOWERS

DURA

Sharn began where Dura stands, but the city has left it

behind in many ways. Many nowadays consider the old­

est quarter of Sharn to be a blight on the City of Towers.

The place is full of cracked and crumbling stonework,

abandoned lift shafts, and everbright lanterns that have

burned out and never been restored. Dura is riddled

with poverty and crime; it's easily the most dangerous

section of the city. But it also holds opportunities you

can't find anywhere else. If you're looking for smuggled

goods or a place to lie low, head to Dura.

UPPER DURA

This ward is full of activity. Its people are prospering,

but there's an edge of desperation about them; many

folk are on the lookout for opportunities to better them­

selves. Upper Dura has the general properties of a

middle ward, with most goods and services priced for a

modest or comfortable lifestyle. The merchants and ar­

tisans are accustomed to dealing with unusual individu­

als, and adventurers receive a warm welcome here.

Clifftop is a home away from home for explorers and

mercenaries. Daggerwatch is a fortress district, contain­

ing garrisons for the Sharn Watch and the Brelish army.
