The Xaeyruudh Campaign
Here are a few changes, additions, and clarifications to the list assembled from official sources.
- Halruaa has banned Shou Towns within its borders, due to concerns of Halruaan magic being stolen
- Similarly, there are no Shou Towns within Mulhorand — Murghôm and Semphar are not part of this ban, because Mulhorandi magic techniques are not taught there
- Due to the fate of Zindalankh in this campaign, the Shou Town which is officially located there has been placed in Phannaskul instead
- The Zulkirs of Thay allowed a Shou Town to be built in Bezantur, on the condition that a Thayan Enclave be allowed in Karatin
- Waterdeep is an obvious candidate for a Shou Town… and the apparent presence of Thayan Enclave there leaves no excuse for the absence of a much more benign Shou Town
- The Grand Caliph of Zakhara has, thus far, allowed one Shou Town in the Land of Fate; it’s located in Liham
