Waterdeep

Deepwater Harbor, also known as Waterdeep Harbor, was a natural basin of the Sea of Swords off the Sword Coast North that gave the city of Waterdeep its name. Thanks to continuous efforts by the Guild of Watermen and its merfolk population, the cold waters of Deepwater Harbor were exceptionally clean. Groups of locathah and merfolk visited the communities at Deepwater Harbor regularly to trade. Surface access to Deepwater Harbor from the Sea of Swords was controlled by mariners of the City Guard, who operated walls and retractable chain nets that could block the harbor if necessary. In exchange for protection and cleanup of the harbor, the Lords of Waterdeep paid the merfolk generously in the form of food, medical supplies, and trade bars. The small colonies of merfolk and sea elves from Tharqualnaar and T'Quession provided volunteers to patrol and clean Deepwater Harbor. The young bronze dragon Zelifarn moved into an underwater cave in the harbor.
