Shou Town

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A group of easterners living in the west. They’re not separate cities, but insular communities within established settlements, similar to real-world Chinatowns.

Shou Towns in Faerûn

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

Riding a Remorhaz

This information is intended for use with the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

At a Glance

A traditional feat of strength and endurance attempted by monks at a certain point in their training. This is done at the Monastery of the Yellow Rose and perhaps other parts of the Realms.

The goal is to lasso, mount, and ride a remorhaz —standing upright— for at least 100 yards. A monk may expect assistance in escaping the remorhaz after the ride, but no help mounting or surviving the ride.
