One of the four monumental buildings that stand at the heads of the city's Ways, it is the home of performance in the gulf, drawing the most talented performers of the continent — and beyond — to its stages. ## Location & Geography The Theatre of Dreams stands on the high northern ground of [[Val Miriel]]'s eastern bank, at the head of the [[Artisan Way]] and hard against the old grey curtain wall that rings the city. From its steps the Artisan Way descends toward the [[Luminor River]] as the quarter of craft, wealth, and culture — gilt and velvet, fine shops, and live music — so that the Theatre presides over the glittering face of the city. It is a grand, ornate building, the cultural counterpart to the [[Red Bastion]], the [[Miriel Keep|Governor's Keep]], and the [[High Sept]] that crown the other three Ways. ## The Stages At the Theatre's heart is a great opera house, and around it stand several smaller stages and studios given over to performances of every kind. Audiences travel from far afield to see the finest performers the continent has to offer, and its reputation reaches further still — to many it is counted among the great venues of the world. ## [[The Bloody Nails|Campaign: The Bloody Nails]] #### [[Session 27 - The Wanted Dwarf]] Seeking a way out of the city unseen, the party scouted the northern wall near the Theatre of Dreams, but judged the patrols and open ground too exposed; they chose instead to slip beneath the streets through the [[Underrun]].
