CHAPTER 1: To kill a mocking dwarf

Sharn...The city of towers. Walking on the ground would almost be laughable to the dwellers of the city, or so some would think. Within system of towers bridged together lies an enormous diversity of life. With the few years after the war it would almost seem as if Sharn were untouched by the war, and in many ways it was. One of the few places in all Khorvaire that did not participate in solely mass producing weapons of war, Sharn could only grow exponentially.

Before and even during the war it was not common for anyone to carry "traveling papers" and though no spies have been caught since the war, Sharn was on high alert. The cults of the dragon below were spreading like wild fire these past few months, and if not to make matters worse Droaams warlords were said to be banding together if that was at all possible. If Droaam did not put the icing on the cake, then the fleet of ghost ships rumored to be sailing around Breland surely struck fear in all (though it was only a rumor...rumors alone can be a power for the wicked)
You find yourselves in a long line outside the southern entrance of Sharn, there were only two guards checking papers and it was taking hours.
There are four more beings in front of you, at the forefront being two hobgoblins most likely from Droaam, as all hobgoblins probably were. They had not had any problems until one of the hobgoblins jokingly mentioned "It's not like we're spies from Droaam or anything, hehehe." The guards instantly demanded they go with one to the prison tower number 17, but they had refused causing a huge argument to ensue between the two groups. In fact two half orcs behind you were betting on the "hobbies" getting killed or arrested.
Behind the hobgoblins were a couple of knights, notably based on the emblems of their armor of the Silver flame. Thou speaking in a particularly uncommon language.
Though for Sharn sights like these were not uncommon...if anything was possible, it would be possible in Sharn.

Waiting for this to convene may take hours, though you have already been outside these gates for hours.
It is now mid-day, ou can see the hustle and bustle of the lower streets of the tower city as the common folk make their way to the tower shops.
