Waterdeep, also known as the City of Splendors or the Crown of the North.


Author's Note: I plan to include every single location I can find in any sourcebook in the city. After that is done, I will try to incorporate the Dragon Heist campaign. We will see whether it works. I know that images are missing. I will deal with them at a later point.

Description

Castle Waterdeep was a castle located in the city of Waterdeep. It was the seat of the city's government. Its walls were 60-ft-thick (18 m) on average, and high enough that when banners were displayed in honor of visiting parties, they were visible from many areas of the southern city. Most of the castle's passageways were permanently lit by continual light spells. The castle held enough food to feed 50,000 people for ten days, and could accommodate up to 540 prisoners in 90 cells. The castle was garrisoned by 1,400 of the City Guard, who, along with members of the City Watch, were trained in its courtyard. Seventy warhorses were kept in the castle stables. The battlements of Castle Waterdeep were used for the hanging of non-nobles. Work began on the castle in the Year of the Thundering Horde, 963 DR, outside and to the north of the city walls.
