Dullahan emerged from his walk through the refugee camps, having spend the day playing cards, talking with people, and trying to be a positive influence. He was glad not to take any of the camp's resources by staying.

While he was exiting, an airskiff flew alongside him. A mysterious woman in red dress and jacket with a sharp, high rising collar stopped by. She seemed to be in a curious mood. "What an oddity. A unique model of warforged. Why, I've never seen the like of you. Can your head and body feel one another, when separated?"

The Karrnathi Embassy was quite probably the largest in Sharn. It was more or less a castle, spread out over four blocks, within the City of Sharn. It's style was gothic, with high arches and scowling, austere gargoyles. Built on the edge of Middle Central, the castle's pointed towers were weatherworn with rain, and hosted moss between the stones.

Detlas was able to enter without papers on the admittance of House Lyrandar, who provided a report of where he had been found, and how. Regardless, there were days of messages sent back and forth from Karrnath via House Sivis sending stones. Military records were acquired, and Detlas Jundar was extensively questioned to prove his identity. What accomplishment was he decorated for, and what was his worst disciplinary infraction?

On the third day, he was informed that the last of his family had died several months before the end of the war. Famine and disease had been common in Karrnath towards the end, even among the civilian population, and the frozen winters had claimed many lives. The message had never reached him on the front. He was given 50 galifars in back pay for his military service, and an honorable discharge.

The skiff returned to the ship. Kayto d'Lyrandar stood at the helm, his posture looking at once intense as he gripped the Wheel of Wind and Water as if poised to turn it with all his strength, and relaxed, as if he casually preferred to remain ready, rather than seeking to go. Eberron was still visible in the sky, and close.

Detlas Jundar would want to speak with the Karrnathi Embassy in Middle Central. It would take him three workdays to make contact with any living relatives and to get his papers in order. In the interim, House Lyrandar has agreed to purchase his Superior Canteen for 100 galifars so that he can afford accommodations, if he needs.



The descent from above the highest clouds still took hours. In the distance loomed the City of Towers, Sharn, an architectural wonder the likes of which appear nowhere else on Eberron. Here, the Elemental Plane of Air touches the world, invigorating the magics of flight and levitation, allowing for such wonders as magically reinforced architecturally impossible spires, and even an elite borough that flew above the confined of the city. Detlas has never seen anything the like of it before.

If you would like, chat among each other on the approach to Sharn. When you are ready, you should post your downtime actions. You have 20 days of downtime in Sharn before House Lyrandar calls you up again. Each day, you will need to pay for accommodations somewhere in the city suitable to the downtime activity you hope to perform. A list of boroughs can be found here.

Sharn Downtime Activities

A trail ration didn't sound too bad. Of course, on the ship, Chevash d'Ghallanda could prepare a meal the likes of which a simple soldier has likely never been able to afford.

The Four Nations, someone might have corrected Jonathan. Nothing is left of Cyre but scattered refugees. Before the destruction of Cyre, they say, one in ten member of the Five Nations died in the Last War. The eradication of an entire nation brought that up to three in ten.

All airships belong to House Lyrandar, and only they can pilot them. They do a lot of mercenary transport work, and generally avoid direct participation in the war.

Karrnath did employ an entire army of undead. It was possible that the Silver Flame had taken sides. Not that it much mattered.

The party wandered through Detlas' camp. It looked like someone was living here, alright.
