upper ward, it’s still part of Dura Quarter. The
stone is drab granite and the towers are simple
and functional. It’s no match for the splendors
of Upper Central or Skyway… but the colorful
inhabitants more than make up for the somewhat
dingy surroundings.

district is under the jurisdiction of Watch
Commander Lian Halamar I PITÆQVO _PW
runs the Daggerwatch garrison in Upper Dura.
Halamar has no love for adventurers and is
always happy to catch a member of the CAG on
the wrong side of the law. It’s generally assumed
that Commander Halamar is working for the
Boromar Clan, though he’s never committed the
Dura Watch to their struggles with Daask.
The Augury is home to a circle of magewrights
who specialize in divination magic, including
augury (50 gp), divination (200 gp), identify (150
gp) and speak with dead (200 gp). The master of
the Augury is an elf named Kestia. She has
ties to a number of angels of Syrania, and if she
chooses she can perform commune. However, as

The Drunken Dragon is a legendary
watering hole. While the service is slow and the
food is modest at best, it has the widest selection
of beverages and spirits in Sharn… and maybe
Khorvaire. From Lhazaar mead to the fermented

House Sivis maintains a small enclave in
Clifttop. In addition to the speaking stone, this
outpost specializes in translating exotic texts and
providing legal services to adventurers in trouble
with the law. Josilian Tarli d’Sivis is one of
the best barristers in Sharn, though certainly one
of the most expensive.

but the food is far better. Saza and Taji Kavv
are immigrants from the city of Stormreach in
Xen’drik, and use many exotic ingredients and
spices the people of Khorvaire have never tasted.
The Kavvs have many friends in Stormreach,
and their insights and contacts could be useful to
adventurers heading to Xen’drik.
The shops of the Mystic Market deal in
magic items, whether locally produced or bought
from explorers. The Mithral Blade produces
