Dvaarnava

Dvaarnava is a hidden monastery that is the only port in Adar . [1] [2]

Geography

Dvaarnava

Dvaarnava is located on the southernmost tip of Adar. While most of Adar's coastline is sheer cliffs, ships can dock at Dvaarnava by traveling past a maze of stone spires into a natural cavern in the cliffs. [1] [2]

Most of the population of Dvaarnava live in grottoes farther up the cliffs to be safe from the stormy waters. [2]

Trade

As Adar's only port, most of the region's trade flows through the port. Most trade is done with Ardhmen in Syrkarn , but some ships travel further to Khorvaire . [1] [2]

Defenses

The port is heavily guarded by both constructed and natural defenses. Reaching the natural cavern requires navigating past sharp rocks and stormy waters. A sisiutl resides in the cavern and questions those who enter, and if a hostile ship makes it past that creature, the port's inhabitants can fire upon it from the passages above. [1]

A shroud resonator deep within the monastery protects the monastery and the region of Adar from scrying and teleportation. [3]

Inhabitants

Like the rest of Adar, Dvaarnava is mostly humans and kalashtar . A few xephs work as merchants in the port. The Summit Road is also active in the port, mainly traversing between it and Ardhmen. [1]
