Waterdeep

The Palace of Waterdeep, also known as the Lords' Palace and previously often called Piergeiron's Palace, was the residence of the Open Lord of Waterdeep. The white marble palace was located at the foot of Mount Waterdeep at the intersection of the Street of Silks and Waterdeep Way. The palace featured a Lantanese "golemwork clock" called 'Timehands' that comprised dials on three faces of its highest tower. A deep well could be found in the prisons and dungeons of the Palace. The Palace served multiple functions for the administration of the city. It was the main office for many of the city's officials including City Watch, City Guard, and city clerks. The Lords' Court also met in a large chamber on the second floor. There were embassies here from many other countries and cities, although they were not required to be on the palace grounds. Guest quarters for foreign dignitaries without embassies were also available.
