Sharn, the City of Towers

Sharn is the largest city in Khorvaire. It has a population of over 200,000 from all over the continent, and is the major port to access the other continents like Xen'Drik, Argonessen or Sarlona. It sits atop an ancient ruined hobgoblin city. Due to its geography, there is nowhere for the city to expand but upwards; now it consists of extremely tall towers. Generally, the higher up you are, the richer you are. Most of the Dragonmarked Houses also have their headquarters or a major enclave here. Sharn's impossible architecture is possible because it is in a manifest zone, a place where the boundaries between worlds is thin. Sharn is close to the Elemental Plane of Air. This is why the richest district, Skyway, literally flies above the rest of the city. Sharn has a hot, wet climate. In the majority of the city, it is always overcast (due to the towers) and always raining.
