Waterdeep

Noble villa. Silmerhelve is one of the older noble houses; traditionally their trade and business interest include guardianship, warrior-training and pandering. The Silmerhelve's history seems almost charmed in comparison to so many of their fellows. The Wailing Years seem to have affected them almost not at all, with their businesses booming. Of course, the fact that their essential identity is centered around the idea of protecting folk just means they had more than enough work to keep them secure and prosperous. The wall surrounding Shieldwatch seems prepared for war: it is ten feet tall and of an imposing thickness. It is also dotted with arrow slit openings every ten feet. Interior: Through means of several enchanted mirrors and portraits, the Silmerhelve family were watched over in their estate by the male bronze dragon Nymmurh. These mirrors and portraits showed no sign of Nymmurh's presence, though he could manipulate the scrying magics to reveal his head just "beyond" them.
