Chapter 1:
Threat of the Dead
After escaping the train attack and discovering the dopplegangers of two members of your new party, You find yourselves in the vast Terminus Station.
Breland, Late Autumn: Aryth 5th, 996 YK
Sharn: Terminus Station
Terminus Station was so big that it reeked of terrifying power; an entire town would easily fit inside its walls. You could live a lifetime in this place.
There are platforms, reception halls and formal meeting places, food vendors and terminals for instant communication to the far distant corners of the world…everything for a price. Cargo warehouses, lounges with comfortable furnishings, fire places, and books or other reading material and a Great Market Hall for public audiences. A whole wing for House Orien administration. Row after row of pillared supports. Station Masters, rail hands and House Orien couriers scuttle about.
Endless vaulted passages were lit by Everbrite lanterns behind metaglass windows, paved with tiles figuring unicorn mosaics on wall and floor. Oval doors with winking lights: lifts going up to the transport orifices.
The Great Market Hall was entered through an 80×40 doorway. The interior of the Hall itself was larger than a village. Far, far, faraway above your heads a domed ceiling, trusses and supporting beams hidden behind the walls, demonstrating engineering genius and money, lots of money.
On the far side of the room, an arch footbridge constructed of crystal-stabilized gold and platinum, decorated by fire jewels, leading to souvenir shops, expertly curated cultural museums, small art galleries and the seats of power of House Orien.
As you look around, in all directions you see, colossal extravagant structures and statues, overlooked from terraces the size of like mesas and squares as large as parks, bits of cultured wilderness and open gardens; all mixing magnificence and artistry with barbarity and dismal tastelessness.
