Terminus

First Impression: This district is a buzzing hive of activity. Orien lightning rail coaches arrive and depart twice a day, and merchants and laborers are constantly loading and unloading crates of merchandise.   Skycoaches and magic lifts are in constant motion, carrying travelers up to the higher towers.   Social Class: Lower class   Terminus is defined by Terminus Station, the massive House Orien enclave that serves as an endpoint for the Orien lightning rail coach line. As a result, most Brelish travelers come through Wroann’s Gate, while most to the travelers from other nations arrive   at Terminus. It is a hotbed of activity, and despite the presence of the Sharn Watch and the Guardians of the Gate, pickpockets and other thieves operate freely.   After visitors pass inspection by the Guardians of the Gate, they are free to leave the district, either on foot or by taking one of the lifts or skycoaches to the higher wards. Terminus itself offers a host of inns, restaurants, taverns, and other basic services for the traveler who doesn’t want to enter greater Sharn, but none of these services are notable for quality or value.   House Sivis maintains a message station in Terminus, and there is a small Deneith outpost where visitors can arrange for bodyguards or laborers.   There is a larger House Lyrandar enclave; primarily this is used for negotiations between Lyrandar and Orien, but this outpost also allows merchants to arrange to have the goods brought in by coach transported elsewhere by air or sea. House Vadalis operates a large stable and hostelry, allowing visitors to secure their mounts while wandering through the city.   Point of Interest :   Terminus Station- An enclave of House Orien, this site contains the lightning rail station. The administrators coordinate the many Orien caravans that come and go from Sharn. Many of the other dragonmarked houses have small outposts in or around Terminus Station, allowing travelers to immediately access the services of House Sivis, House Deneith, and others.   Terminus Station (Lower Tavick’s) This is both a station and the main surviving production facility for the Lightning Rail. Maintenance and fabrication shops are located directly above the station.   Rookery Plaza (Terminus, Lower Tavick’s Lannding) Adjacent to the Lightning Rail station is a large plaza, which feels somewhat like a cavern because it is roofed over by the underside of the Middle Wards, 120 feet above. It is filled with hawkers, stalls, and pickpockets, giving many visitors their first genuine experience of the culture of the city.
