The thread title says it all.

If I wanted to base a campaign in the Karrnathi city of Atur, where would I go to find more information about it?

I have the 4e Eberron Campaign guide, but further tips would be appreciated, especially if there has been any Dragon/Dungeon support, or the city gets a writeup in any of the Eberron 3.X books.

AFAIK there's no writeup; most of the cool-sounding locations in Eberron don't have a writeup, specifically to allow you to come up with your own thing and not have That One Guy at the table tell you you're wrong.

Hmm. There's a definite write-up (approximately 2/3 of a page) in the 4e ECG, which is why I assumed there'd be some info in earlier books.

Thanks for the reply!

Player's Guide to Eberron (page 103) mentions the Autur Academy and a member of this board (Elrodian) flashed it out here.


The Five Nations (page 114) elaborate on the Crimson Monastery.

In any case an awkward hook where the PCs rush into a Autur bordello room and encounter king Kaius III is a must ;)

Thanks.

So it seems that Atur the city got more focus in 4e than it had in 3.X. Interesting.

I've joked in the past about running a "Buffy"-style campaign in Atur. There certainly is enough undead to go around...

Here's a link I've unearthed for you :-)
It's fan-generated, but maybe you like it!

Page 182 of the 3E Eberron Campaign setting describes Atur.

Pages 114-115 of Eberron Five Nations describes the Crimson Monastery.

Most of the content about Atur is the same, but the Crimson Monastery gets quite a bit more detail.
