[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8264416, member: 52734"] Something from another thread some time back... In Sharn, a small group of mind flayers survived the destruction of their Elder Brain and started their own small community in the city. They have erected a small monestary that has become home to an eclectic collection of tomes and scrolls, and have opened it to the public. The illithid have become “vegan”, having a small garden of a strange plant they call “brain wheat” that sustains the monks. They have even learned to distill small amounts of their meager crop into “mind wine”, an intoxicating brew that expands consciousness, and sell small batches for exhoribant prices (200 gp/bottle) to help maintain the monastery and its members. There are unfounded rumors that the mind flayers engage in black market deals of exchanging captured prisoners (whose minds are said to be devoured) for information, or performing back alley feedings on derelicts, which the head of the monastery vehemently denies. I think it makes for a very interesting resource for information, with a side possibility for a very “Name of the Rose” sort of investigation where characters are asked by the headmaster to quash accusations that the mind flayers are feeding on the locals, only to uncover a rebellious cabal within the monastery who is up to no good...
