House Orien is one of Khorvaire's most powerful Dragonmarked Houses whose industry revolves around the transport of people, goods, and services. Citizens of the Five Nations use House Orien for courier services and passenger services.

Enclaves are the regional office hubs where the house administrates and coordinates business. Each enclave is led by a Seneschal. (You can think of seneschals as 'regional directors' appointed by the Baron of the House) The typical citizen may visit the enclave for its postal services, sending packages, picking up packages, resolving lost or damaged packages, buying passenger tickets for coaches, the lightning rail, or teleport circle, resolving grievances with House services, or pitching business partnerships.

This particular enclave battlemap may be used in any city except Sharn where there is a higher urban density with sparse vegetation. In my Eberron, the Sharn Orien Enclave is also Terminus Station.

Ideas for using this map...

• Meeting an Orien agent
• Meeting the Enclave Seneschal
• Using the courier/postal services
• Executing a heist
• Using the Teleport Circle
• Buying passenger tickets (lightning rail/passenger coaches)
• Going on a facilities tour
• Investigating suspicious activity
• ...or simply looking for trouble

Special note: The centerpiece of this enclave is a large unicorn statue which is surrounded by floating conductor stones which provide vertical lift to and from the second floor for visitors and occupants with a soarsled-like platform.

This is a 30x30 map with a 5ft scale.

Raucous sailors looking for a good time stumble through the puddled streets of Sharn's Welcome, the City of Tower's riverside red-light district.

Crime is rampant here only because the inebriated visitors make easy targets for pick pockets and robbers.

This battlemap is a street view of a neighborhood district at the base of the cliffs closer to the Daggerhilt River. Red glowing everbright lamps illuminate seedy pubs and bordellos lining the old stone streets. Back alleys lead to short-stay inn rooms and hole-in-the-wall gambling parlors, and in the southeast part of the neighboorhood among the back alley pawnshops, one can find stone stairs carved into the cliff walls leading upwards to where the rest of the Sharn's Welcome district sits in the lower ward of Cliffside.

The map is 30x40 using 5 foot grids

For the longest time (...years...) I just theater-of-the-mind'd this location but this time around I got around to making a map of one of Sharn's airship docks.

It's great if you want some intrigue and adventure to happen at the hub point of one of Eberron's most iconic transportation systems. There's also seagulls flying around, because Sharn is right on the river mouth that feeds into the ocean...you've got to have seagulls!

Let me know how YOU use this map! We can always use new adventure ideas!

I was watching this clip of NEVER ENDING STORY with the gnome Engyhook and I can't unhear Heimerdinger

I painted all twelve moons so I can use them in my Eberron scenes and artwork.

How do YOU use the moons in your Eberron?

I committed to the proportional scale of the canon map of Khorvaire. Unfortunately that led to Throneport not filling the breadth of the island. If I made the city of Throneport the size of the island then it would've become a megacity which takes away from the dramatic size of Sharn and its thematic overwhelmingness.

So I rationalized a solution.

Throneport is only a part of Thronehold island. The rest of it is inhospitable jagged mountain forests and even the shores around the island are steep cliffs making it inhospitable for unchecked expansion of the city for centuries.

Throneport only grew as much as it needed to enable diplomats, dignitaries, and spies to flourish in close proximity of each other. The rest of the island was too far from the center of where all the political action was happening and required too much resources to develop well...resources that no one nation was willing to spend for little return on investment.

I'm about to make detailed battlemaps of the classic airship based on this old illustration of an airship cutaway (see 2nd image).

I don't know if a breakdown or battlemap already exists. (I see lots of homebrew that don't follow the shape or size of the published image so I wanted to make something more accurate)

Also I'm open to suggestions and advice of where things should be located and what kind of spaces need to be in the battlemap.

I also detailed what type of crew would be onboard and their functions.

What is a persistent shared world? It's a world where multiple players and multiple parties may interact and affect one another!

💎 Last week, one party accidentally created a chaos blast wave that rippled across the city of Throneport and adjacent regions. A different party in another part of town consequently experienced a momentary black out leaving them to fight their enemies in the dark!

🧟 Last month, there was a large cross-party team up on the north shores of the Mournland!

Play solo or play with a group!
