[News] The Sharn Inquisitive

[Living Eberron Judge]

7 Sar, Lharvion, 998 YK—Sharn

Residents reports a strange occurance today. Dizziness and confusion were reported throughout Sharn while others reported strange visual hallucinations. Sages at Morgrave University currently suggest some a very brief by intense conjunction with one of the planes, perhaps Thelanis, may have been responsible. While no major reports of injury or accidents have been reported, bouts of amnesia or delusions of "false memory" have been recorded.

"Sometimes this happens," reported Professor Landry Velsparr of Morgrave. "Things that seemed one way may appear different only due to a brief confusion of the mind induced by these rapid conjunctions. Everything will smooth itself out."

The Sharn Inquisitive is the broadsheet of Sharn. While not as prestigious as the Korranberg Chronicle, The Inquisitive is the place to read what-is-what in the City of Towers. It includes gossip of the city, and tales of up-and-coming adventurers such as the sorts seen about the Tower's Shard.

This thread is for in-game rumors, tales of other player's exploits, and such in the vein of L4W's The Screamer All members are encouraged to post stories about recent events, preferably in-character in the form of a colorful anecdote. Suggested articles include:

• Summaries of recently concluded exciting encounters.
• Recaps of completed adventures.
• New competitions, arrivals, and adventure openings at the Hanged Man.
• Significant in-game developments that could potentially impact the setting at large.

The Inquisitive will also keep the community informed about OOC news such as recently approved proposals of character options, changes to the charter, etc. If manageable, news items will try to be indexed in this post in an organized manner.

*Extra, Extra* The Morgrave University has just completed a survey of heroes available for jobs requiring their unique skills:







Those interested in hiring said sellswords should head over to the Tower's Shard to discuss directly with the petitioners.

Reports from a recent Inquisitive investigation point to a rising number of Cyran refugees in the city recently, most of them apparently seeking work in the dangerous adventuring career. Of the new patrons at the Tower's Shard, a local watering hole of the sword-and-artifice bunch, half are from that mourned country. Whether their displacement makes them more likely to take up the risky profession or something else, the rise in Cyran expats makes traditional adventurer Guild members in Sharn a little wary.

I mean, come on! One Sharn investigative and member of the Clifftop Adventurer's Guild said on the condition of anonymity. I've got a family and my own dreamlilly addictions to feed. But these Cyrans will work for almost half—they have nothing to lose with their home being gone and all. I miss the days when the adventuring rabble were just feckless nobles out for lark.

While patrolling in Sharn's Welcome, Private David Stillheart reported seeing a large black crocodile crawl into a sewer grate. "I saw it w' my own two eyes! Why do ya look a' me like I'm a crazy loon! It was as big as a horse, and slid right down into the sewers." When questioned about his recent dreamlily abuse, the guard stammered, "Dreamlily! Why I've been off that stuff fo' years na. Quit bringin' up ma past and scram ya filthy kid!"

Mountzilla on the Loose?
Reptiles Ravaging Sharns Streets

A recent rash of mount related violence is threatening to become an epidemic. Several nobles have reported their mounts being bitten, mauled in some cases even being killed and eaten. Sources in the noble community are trying to lay the blame at the feet of the local adventuring population, siting the recent availability of certain carnivorous reptiles in Sharn as the likely culprits of these heinous acts. One eye witness to the aftermath was qouted as saying: "It was horrifying...Rotting saliva and blood splattered everywhere...there wasn't enough left of my prize stallion to fit in the magic saddle I just bought for him." This investigative thinks its probably just some kind of wild animal in the sewers crawling out to snack on some clueless drunkards broken-down stable ponies.

Sharn's Nobles Victimized By Thieves!
In todays' news, reports of odd thefts have come to light after three nobles' homes have been broken into. These nobles have chosen to remain anonymous due to security concerns. Each of these homes have had only a single item stolen, and each of these have differing values and physical descriptions: A small dragon's skull (reportedly real but used for decoration), an obsidian orb (a family heirloom), and a four foot tall diamond pedestal. None of the three nobles were able to provide a description of these perpetrators as they did not know they had been robbed until the next morning. Sharn Inquisitives have been hired to look into the disappearance of these articles.
