Among many grand cities and capitals of the world, Sharn is unique as it has been build and conquered three times in history or faced destruction. But still this is natural spot to build center of capital empire facing the ocean and close to dagger river where goods can transported easily deeper from Breland and other lands.<br/><br/>However it's present name has come up during reign of Galifar when city was build upwards in grand scale and thus give it's name; city of towers. The districts scale up higher and higher and wards exact quality depends on height. What may once been noble's district, may had over years turn into slums thanks increase of height of towering structures which offer rich new homes and angles to see from. Also city is natural hot spot connection to plane of air, so many air, flying and levitation magic works more potent and some districts actually float in air; place of most powerful and influential.<br/><br/>However this is not story of city but one it's residents; Rhea Twiceborn. A curious tiefling in curious situation and life she has wound into city. Working as street prostitute handful years, brothels and then through brothel gained then contact higher tier clients who appreciated her skills and then becoming escort for hire. Of course competition among escorts and then escort agencies is fierce (to point if your not careful you may literally get knifed or worse disgraced on reputation!).<br/><br/>Rhea found early on safe haven between her jobs in Highwater district (http://eberronunlimited.wikidot.com/highwater), finding a large upscale apartment in relative good price. Catch though was that she was sharing it with someone who lived already there; hobgoblin scholar Dush'kan Kragh (https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/images/4362696/1482693256304.jpg). He is highly unusual for hobgoblins what Rhea has met before; all most hobgoblins come from tribes, have warrior code of honor and can be intelligent but cruel at times and often wound up as gang leaders or mercenary bands in Sharn. However Dush'kan appears civilized, calm, intelligent and body wise he is build like a warrior but he carries no weapon whatsoever. He does practice unarmed combat style in morning and later evenings, but he is scholar who specializes on ancient history and studies of goblin empires (and often makes dangerous trips to lower wards to find goblin architecture and study it and trying find genuine relics for study).<br/><br/>He has kept quiet on his past but there are hints of Cyran origin; that he may had served a long, long time a Cyran noble as soldier likely but had picked Cyran philosophy of 'appreciation of life' over his racial warrior culture. Either way he is quite old and was likely involved someway in Last War but he as now is just scholar who studies in Morgrave University and moonlights as bouncer for hire for inns and taverns, the middle class or above. Either way he holds no judgement on Rhea's line of work, at best been curious and be at times worried if she had got hurt during it or nearly mugged or raped. At times they have shared fine bottle of wine and had sex but Dush'kan (or just Dush) has kept their arrangement clear; she pays half the rent and she has own room which privacy he respects and he has his own room. They share bathrooms, lounge room and the kitchen and there is small balcony towards ocean in nice view. Both having one key and if taking guests the other must be informed before hand for chance of such.<br/><br/>In short Dush'kan has asked Rhea deal with clients with cheaper rented inn rooms than in apartment. Safety risk and such and if done it often he runs risk for thought to be her pimp and he wants avoid it. Now though Rhea's story starts with usual mourning, Dush already doing morning kata (http://tskkia.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/tekki1.gif) routine exercise in the balcony. All while kafka is boiled in kettle. Dush does the routine topless, wearing just simple black loose pants.
