Cloister of Sombre Embrace
Overview
Training areas
Two small locked training areas are near the start of the cloister. The Infiltration Training area is filled with disguises and chest to practice lockpicking.

Threshold of Loss
Behind the main chamber, a large locked door called the Threshold of Loss blocks the entry to the rest of the temple. It can either be lockpicked (DC 30), opened with a Silver Key, opened by casting , or opened by placing 1000 gold worth of items on the scale in front of the statue of Shar, which consumes the items.
