Part 1: Death in the Upper City
Start your campaign by determining why the PCs are in Sharn, how long they’ve been here, and what they’re doing in the city. Building connections between the PCs also helps set the stage for adventures to come.
This adventure begins as the PCs wander the skybridges and tower balconies of Sharn’s upper city after dark. They could be purposely on their way to a specific location, or they can be exploring the high towers with no distinct destination in mind. Then, as so often happens to adventurers in Sharn, they stumble across a dead body.
