[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8755165, member: 6796468"] Sharn, City of Towers, has towers that are 1 mile high for a sense of scale. Keith Baker once took to Twitter to explain that there are no, and have never been, scale maps of Sharn. Even the one provided in the 4e book has no scale or distance provided: [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECg1ToWUcAEmKwy?format=jpg&name=medium[/IMG] Based on the "Tallest towers are 1 mile" and comparing the tower heights to the distance from Tavick's Landing to Dura, you could figure out the area this map covers as being about 16 square miles... but. Sharn is "As large as it needs to be for the story you want to tell, and no larger." And honestly? That is the exact answer needed. I think I'll run my next A5e campaign in a Sharnlike environment. Maybe do something like the Outpost (great show!) where everything is centered on, and in, a single community dealing with various threats... Been a while since I did anything urban. [/QUOTE]
