City of Sharn

Sharn* is the largest city (but not the capital) in the kingdom of Breland and indeed, the continent of Khorvaire. It is a melting pot of all races, with the human population being the largest but still only a third of Sharn's some 212,000 citizens.


 * (* The city of Sharn is also called the City of Towers, but, locally, most often just "Sharn". However, and especially outside the City of Sharn, the term "Sharn" may also be used to refer to the criminal organization the Sharn Syndicate.)

A vertical city, Sharn is linked with the plane of Syrania, granting enhanced power to flight and levitation magic, a feature that the city's residents have used to build towers that rise higher into the sky than any other place on Khorvaire and possibly the world of Eberron. Due to the myriad of cultures that live and have lived in Sharn, examples of architecture from all over Khorvaire can be found. Most of Sharn's wealthiest inhabitants live in the upper regions of the city, enjoying the freshest air and least claustrophobic views.

In game, the city can be divided into three distinct sub-areas: the Cliffside Docks district, and, far above sea level, the informally connected upper and lower Cliffside Tower District. Each has its own set of quests that can be accessed there, and different methods of arriving there from Stormreach. (Note that there is no direct access from Stormreach to the Part 2/Cogs area.)

Cliffside Docks District
The aptly named Docks District can be accessed from Stormreach via the docks in The Harbor by speaking with Captain Alban Dranmore (near the Lost at Sea quest), or from the lower Tower District via an elevator found on the southeast side of the main dome.

It is also possible, with a Feather Fall effect, to jump off any ledge from the Tower District and, after a brief glide (and a briefer cutscene), find yourself safely landed near the elevator down by the docks. Without Feather Fall, the glide is a bit faster and the landing a bit harder, but still generally survivable by all but the weakest of characters (approx. 80 HP damage).

Clifftop Tower District: upper
The upper district forms a ring around a central dome. It can be accessed via Captain Alban Dranmore, or from any Guild Airship, or, if you are in the Docks district, via the elevator at the north end of that area (see above). From the lower Tower area, you can get back to the upper area from the below the dome, via either a gust of air floor-rune or the winding staircase there, or via a levitating platform (ala House Cannith) located in the square area that can be seen on the map between the lower and upper Districts.
