A lot of interesting things are happening in Silvar. For one, there's a shade here, and its presence keeps a few merchants closed. These merchants include Captain Call, who is trains you in several skills, but only if the shade isn't in Silvar. Once you kill the shade, he is one of the best trainers in the game. There is a Shield of Warmth in the storerooms to the west, as well as other minor goodies. A Blessed Silk Tunic is in a building next to the inn.

There are many quests here. Awrmm the nephil bowmaker gives you a quest to hunt Hosharr, a nephil bandit. Do so for a Blessed Bow. Ruth is a shipwright and will give you a quest to investigate an island provided the shade isn't in Silvar (300c on completion). Otherwise she won't talk about it. Lorena is the queen of the slums, and she gives you a key to the sewers, which allows you to see Pea Eye, an individual who is investigating the shade. Go down the sewers. Pretty much no matter what you do, you'll have to fight a gaseous goo to get to Pea Eye, but that's OK as it's the object of a job. Talk to Pea Eye and he has a few ideas on how to investigate the shades. For one, he wants you to hurt the shade bad enough that it regenerates. This is a bit tough for a low level adventuring party. First, make sure the shade is in town. Next, haste, bless, shield, and cast any permanent spells you have. Hit it hard, especially with repel spirit. Then run away, once it heals itself one time. Leave Silvar as far as you can, and try not to get anyone else killed on the way. When the shade has stopped following you, go back to Pea Eye. He tells you that you can have some of his treasure in Cotra.

There's a pylon here, so be sure to touch it. Also, check out the area that Bolivar hints to for 30c- search for a dead body. Open the door, and kill all of the thugs and the cultist. Search their stuff for some info on the conspiracy, and to grab a wand.

Jobs here include Chitrach Claws (blessed shield), Message: Fort Avernum (reward: mindshield scroll), Cotra Bandit Bounty (2 emeralds, 2 rubies), Kill the Goo (50c), Message: Mertis (30c), and Dranlon bandit bounty (Clarity Talisman- one of the best amulets in the game).
