And here is the #ExpeditionaryDispatch from my visit to Dorasharn a couple years ago! A rather valuable book was stolen from the #MorgraveUniversity archives, and I pursued it down beneath the Cogs...it was terribly exciting, but we did get quite a few extra books out of it. #Eberron #dnd
Morgrave University Expeditionary Report Faculty Members: Taraki (Lead) Student Members: None Location: Ruins of Dorasharn, beneath Cogs of Sharn Nearest Settlement: Sharn Site Natue: War of the Mark Ruins Danger Level (1-10): 6 Nature of Danger: Crumbling structure, possible squatters, remnants of War of the Mark-era traps, wyvern, magma Findings: Ruins seem to be the remnants of a tower from the city of Dorasharn, predecessor to Sharn. Tower is mostly collapsed, and much of the ruins have been submerged in magma. Little concentrated study was done, given the circumstances of the visit. However, the clawmarks of a large creature with draconic characteristics are visible on much of the exposed stone. Ruins are inhabited by a very large wyvern with unusual blue and green markings across its body. While extended study of the wyvern was not possible, the markings appeared reminiscent of dragonmarks. The wyvern seemed to be summoned for defense by the Kainen Gorganarnea, which was not warded correctly after being stolen. The Kainen Gorganarnea itself was in a secret chamber near the center of the tower, accessible via a mural of the Sovereigns. The chamber was revealed by pressing a dark section of tiles beneath Aureon’s symbol, likely representing the Shadow. Chamber was small and appeared to be some kind of personal library—all books retrieved are currently being examined, identified, and catalogued. Other: This was not a formal expedition, but a response to the theft of the Kainen Gorganarnea. In the process of the investigation, it was discovered that a group of adventurers affiliated with the Deathsgate Adventurer’s Guild were responsible for the theft, hired by someone called “Juna Siralath”. Unfortunately, further questions about Siralath could not be asked of the adventurers, as by the time the researcher found the ruins, they had all already been eaten by the wyvern. Juna Siralath does not appear to exist as a Brelish citizen, according to public records.

Hello everybody! With most of the students still gone for #MorgraveUniversity winter break, I had some time, and I've heard some lovely things about these skies. Today is a slow day of translation work on a #DraconicProphecy text I recently received from my mentor, so let's give this a try! #Eberron
