    My first Eberron campaign was an espionage themed game almost entirely set within the city of Sharn. Awesome setting, though a little unwieldy due to its sheer scope. Oh, and forget about finding "street" level maps, no one has them. :(

    Sharn is essentially magical New York and it's one of my favorite fictional locations.

    Love the Eberron videos. Since you’re on an Eberron kick, do you think you could do a video on the lord of blades and his followers? I think that the whole war forged rebellion idea is super cool. Keep up the good work!

    My campaign is about to enter The Mournland and I was wondering if you could cover it in more depth? Maybe toss around some idea's regarding how it happened/works. The books left so much for the DM to decide and seemingly forgot to give much inspiration.

    Hyped to see some lore on Sharn

    The city structure reminds me of Taris from KOTOR, which also got some sort of weird monsters (rakghoul) in the lowest levels.

  • @dilsoncamacho4100
    @dilsoncamacho4100 4 роки тому +5

    This video was cool BUT WAAAAY too short, I'd like a more in depth explanation of every part of sharn and what you can find there and the big buildings and famous people.

    Amazing! Though at around 5:30 I would like to point out Medani has a major presence with Brelands government so I would think that would heavily apply to Sharn as well.

  • @unpersonownlife
    @unpersonownlife 4 роки тому +3

    You left out the fact that Sharn is located in whole in a manifest zone of Syrania. T_T

    A whole campaign in Sharn does somewhat sound just a bit like a Ravnica campaign.

    Is it me or did they leave out the part that the city is built upon a manifest zone. Its the reason they can build so high, and that the Skyway works.

      Currently this is the last episode.
      I plan on continuing but it's postponed as I'm working on some other lore videos that tie into my live streamed game "The Rod of Seven Parts"

    Oh Sharn the location!
    Not Sharn the aberration.

    The population is WAY bigger than what the books say. The number listed is the biggest population available for the system which was based on Forgotten Realms. The actual population of Sharn, including the slums, is probably more like a few million at least.
    Also, the part where you talked about magical building materials is just 100% wrong. Did you even read anything about Sharn at all before making this video? o_O
    The reason the towers can get so high is because the city is built on a manifest zone to Syrania, the plane of air. They build on pre-existing towers because there is literally no other place to build.

  • @AryadiSubagio

    Dhakaani was a kingdom of goblins, no hobgoblins, and their kingdom spans the entire continent. That means there are countless Dhakaani ruins or tombs, and it's common for the newer cities of Khorvaire to be built on top of Dhakaani sites, so that guard tower over there? There's another level under it.
    O yeah, you didn't mention that Sharn is built on a manifest zone with Syrania, Eberron's plane of elemental air, and as a result magics that uses the power of wind has WAY greater power there. This is the reason why Sharn's towers can rise so high and why you can't use the sky cab outside Sharn.

    • @Jorphdan
      @Jorphdan  4 роки тому +1

      Actually it was hobgoblins.
      "Hobgoblins have always formed the foundation of Dhakaani society, from its beginnings to the present day."

      Well the Dhakaani was a society of Goblinoids (i.e Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears), while Hobgoblins were the primary intellectual/leadership caste of the Dhakaani the goblins would have been the one to build the city. Also it’s theorized that the Goblins, Hobgoblins, and Bugbears are basically magically altered version of some original Goblinoid race that altered their own physiology to be better suited to different tasks. And probably most importantly each caste/race would have all lived together, the idea of a society of only Hobgoblins, Goblins, or Bugbears would have been unthinkable to the Dhakaani and only happened because the Dalkyr fundamentally scrambled their psychology.
