Masleh said:I've been delaying my response to look through Sharn: City of Towers, but I'm not finding much at all Kalshatar activities (though I browsed through Races of Eberron earlier this week and am now familiar with the Shadow Watches) in Sharn. Is there anything you can tell me about who they are, usual occupations and relations with others in the city?
The group of Shadow Watchers I see Korantash being affiliated with would be one of the more proactive groups led by the Atavists. These groups take their war against the Dark outside of their community to fight evil wherever they find it. They still operate as circumspectly as they can since they don't want to draw retribution back on their community, but they believe just policing their own and staying hidden will only lead to defeat. Most of them take levels in adventuring psionic-oriented classes (including monk). They would also take levels in social-oriented adventuring classes to better blend in to the background of the cities to give them a better chance of identifying the sources of evil infecting those communities.
As far as the mechanics of the character are concerned, this is what I have for Korantash so far. Still need to pick out his mundane equipment.

Hope this looks good. Background ideas are still percolating in the backbrain. Hopefully will have more time to try to write them down over the rest of the weekend.
