Central Plateau

Central Plateau is the heart of Sharn. Its top levels include the seat of the city’s government and its bustling finance districts. Its middle levels host the enclaves of the dragonmarked houses (which some describe as the real government of the city) and embassies of the other nations of Khorvaire. Its location makes its residential neighborhoods highly desirable and its marketplace perhaps the busiest in the city.
The power and wealth of Sharn are concentrated in the Central Plateau. It’s the safest place in the city, combining the most capable units of the City Watch with the headquarters of Sharn’s elite forces. Whether you’re looking to deal with powerful merchants, city councilors, dragonmarked barons, or the ambassadors of other nations, Central Plateau is a place where deals are made and gold changes hands.

Things to do in Central Plateau

Attend an Auction. The Aurora Gallery (Upper Central) is the finest auction house in Sharn and specializes in auctions of exotic magic items and relics from Xen’drik. You never know what’s going to be available—or who will be bidding against you.
Plan a Heist. Rob the Kundarak Bank of Sharn (Upper Central) or the Brelish Museum of Fine Art (Middle Central).
Go to Jail. The Citadel in Middle Central is also Sharn’s high-security prison.
Pray. The primary temples of the Sovereign Host and the Silver Flame are located in Middle Central along with a host of shrines to specific Sovereigns and lesser faiths. Take part in a festival or drop in for some spiritual guidance!
Espionage! Whether you work for your nation or get entangled in the schemes of the dragonmarked houses, there’s a lot of powerful people in Middle Central with a use for capable agents.
