The seat of House Vadalis in Sharn is one of the few enclaves where pegasi are raised and Highwater,

trained. Native to Syrania, these celestial beasts can become stranded in Sham; Vadalis

heirs care for them and match them with virtuous companions.

This proud Ghallanda enclave continues to operate amid the fading squalor of Middle

Dura, and has become a tourist attraction. It offers a range of services, with food and

lodging of poor to comfortable quality.

A vertically oriented arena used for aerial jousting and other unusual sporting events.

A comfortable tavern and gambling hall, known as one ofthe safest places to bet on the

Race of Eight Winds and the events at the Hollow Tower.

This fading Ghallanda inn struggles to maintain its poor to modest quality. It's known to

be under the protection of the Boromar Clan, which makes it one of the safest establish­

ments in Lower Dura.

A curious tavern owned by a family of changelings, the Broken Mirror changes its appear­

ance and theme every week. It's rumored to be connected to the Tyrants.

A remnant of Callestan's glory days, this place is a shadow of the grand establishment

it once was. The current owners are known for staging bizarre events at the Silvermist.

Sharn's oldest families, while many that have prospered

LOWER DURA

The aptly named Precarious district in Lower Dura

leans out over the edge of the cliffs, and the Sky­

docks-a system using gigantic arcane cranes and levi­

tation-carry material up from Cliffside and the docks.

Precarious is also filled with warehouses that hold

these goods. Because Precarious plays an important

role in the economy of the city, it's the only district in

Lower Dura where the Sharn Watch maintains a signifi­

cant presence.

The rest of Lower Dura, in stark contrast, has been

left to.rot. Ignored by the Watch, it is the domain of

gangs'"and crime lords. The inhabitants of the ward are

often protected from violence by their criminal connec-

CHAPTER 3 I SHARN, CITY OF TOWERS

There was a time when Lower Dura was the heart

of Sharn, and remnants of this glory remain. The Sil­

vermist Theater in Callestan was built to entertain no­

bles. The ward boasted manors, temples, and a garrison

for the watch. But all of these edifices were abandoned

long ago, and now most are home to nothing but squat­

ters and vermin.

The district of Callestan is a nexus of sorts, where all

the major criminal powers of Sharn have a stake. Those

groups are described in more detail later in this chapter.

The district of Fallen is a haunted ruin; this temple

district was abandoned after it was struck by a falling

tower. It's covered in more detail later in this chapter.

Malleon's Gate is home to the goblins of Sharn, along

with other monstrous immigrants from Droaam and

Darguun. The district can be an especially dangerous

place for halflings or anyone tied to the Boromar Clan.

O!dkeep and Gate of Gold are wretched tenement

districts. A significant halfling community lives in the

district known as The Stores, which is also a stronghold

for the Boromar Clan.
