Welcome to a world of swashbuckling action and dark fantasy, a world ruled by great dynasties and tempered by war. Eberron holds many wonders, from dragonmarks to warforged, deadly dungeons to elemental airships. As the shadows of evil and conspiracy threaten to envelop the land, heroes of prophecy come forth to save the day. In the city of Sharn lives Abraxis Wren, the most famed of all Inquisitives, Eberron’s version of the private detective. Along with his assistant and close friend, Torin, Abraxis solves cases in this metropolis known as the City of Towers. After solving a murder mystery, Abraxis and Torin took a missing persons case, which has led them from the asylums of Sharn and the heights of Warden Towers—home of the City Watch—to the depths of the Lower Wards, where Abraxis inadvertently freed an ancient evil known only as an “Old One.”
