HistoryIndex | The City Of Towers | Khorvaire | Breland | Concerning Sharn | The History of Sharn The History of SharnThousands of years before humans arrived in Khorvaire, the goblinoids of the Dhakaani Empire built the city of Ja’shaarat. Humans arrived after the Daelkyr War and found the ruins of the city. Malleon the Reaver led humans to the city. They enslaved the remaining goblins, rebuilt the city, and named it Shaarat. Breggor, who ruled what would become Breland, demanded that the city bow to him. When the city refused, Breggor’s mages razed the city. Breggor had the city rebuilt yet again and renamed it Sharn. For eight hundred years Sharn grew. During the War of the Mark, Lord Halas Tarkanan gathered the persecuted bearers of aberrantmarks and led them to Sharn. After four years, Lord Tarkanan would loose to the Dragonmarked Houses. He and the Lady of Plague used all of their power to destroy Sharn as their enemies closed in. For five hundred years the city was abandoned. When Galifar I concurred the Five Nations, he had Sharn rebuilt. House Cannith was instrumental to this. Sharn is now the largest city on Khorvaire. It is a center of trade and intrigue. It is renowned as the Gateway to Xen’drix. They say, “If it can be bought, it can be bought in Sharn.”
