Eberron Rising From the Last War

172

The Shrine of Fathen the Martyr is an infamous spot

in North Market. It is dedicated to a crusading priest of

the Silver Flame who uncovered a group of wererats in

the early days of Sham. Fathen was torn apart by the

wererats he had exposed, and in his honor the Church

of the Silver Flame raised the shrine on this site. It's

said that any lycanthrope that enters the shrine will be

forced into its true form. Pilgrim,s devoted to the Sil­

ver Flame come from across Khorvaire to pray at the

shrine, but the local shifter population has no love for

the pilgrims or the church.

high priest of the Gates of Passage is capable of rais­

ing the dead.

Find a patron. Many eccentric nobles make their homes

in Upper Northedge. A patron of the arts could take

an interest in the career of a bard or an entertainer.

A collector might keep capable adventurers on re­

tainer with the understanding that they'll deliver any

Dhakaani artifacts they come across in their travels.

You never know what benefits a patron will provide; at

the very least, having a patron can provide you with an

introduction to high society.

THINGS TO Do IN NORTHEDGE TAVICK'S LANDING

Northedge is the most peaceful quarter in Sham. It does

have a few taverns and temples, but if you're looking for

excitement or a wide selection of goods and services,

you'll want to go elsewhere. Even so, Northedge boasts

some notable special attractions:

Everyone who comes to Sham, whether by land or air,

passes through Tavick's Landing. The quarter took on

a martial aspect during the Last War, and the tense

atmosphere can still be felt today. On the positive side,

Watch Commander Iyanna ir'Talan has gone to great

efforts to purge corruption in the local garrisons of the

Sham Watch; as a result, this is one of the few districts

where the Watch is both helpful and competent. On the

downside, visitors from any nation that fought against

Breland during the war might be greeted with suspicion

or hostility.

Settle down. If you're looking for a place to live in

Sham, Lower Northedge residences are of reason­

able quality and price and offer more security than

Lower Dura.

Die in style. The elves of Shae Lias are experts in

funerary customs and embalming. In addition, the
