High Fantasy

Fables in the Forgotten Realms

Tome64

The Forgotten Realms brought to life! Designed for narrative-rich experiences in the Forgotten Realms setting of Faerun's Sword Coast. While the main focus of the world is Waterdeep, locations throughout the Sword Coast and outer planes are available as well! Including Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter, The Moonsea, The Outerplanes, and more! What was once a single city has now expanded to most of Faerun in this High Fantasy adventure of magic, technology, and secrets to uncover!

Author's Note: Welcome to The Forgotten Realms Step into one of the most iconic and richly storied worlds in Tabletop, The Forgotten Realms! Now expanded and reimagined for deeper exploration and immersive play. Waterdeep: The City of Splendors is your main gateway to the other famous Sword Coast locations like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter, the Moonsea Region, and even the distant reaches of the Outer Planes. While Waterdeep remains the heart of the experience, its surrounding territories are available for those bold enough to venture beyond the city walls. This adaptation builds upon official Forgotten Realms lore, but introduces both minor and major changes to support a more engaging and open-ended campaign. For example, the characters from Baldur’s Gate 3 are playable, but have been recontextualized to exist in Waterdeep rather than Baldur’s Gate. Content is designed for compatibility with Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, and a host of original plot hooks waiting to be uncovered across the city’s alleys, taverns, towers, and catacombs. You’re free to explore at your own pace, shape the world as you see fit, or lose yourself in the layered politics, mysteries, and magic of the world. This is not a replacement for a traditional tabletop game—it’s a love letter to it. Dedicated to anyone who struggles to find a group and is itching to play. If you enjoy what’s inside, consider supporting the official Dungeons & Dragons books. They remain an invaluable resource for players and storytellers alike—and they make excellent collectibles.

Mount Waterdeep

Area

Details

Size	0
Type	Mountain

Description

Mount Waterdeep rises 700 feet above sea level, a rugged bastion that protects the city of Waterdeep from fierce coastal storms. Its rocky slopes conceal the infamous Undermountain, a labyrinthine dungeon that draws adventurers and treasure seekers alike. At the mountain's heart lies a freshwater spring, once cascading down its cliffs into the sea, now redirected into vast cisterns that feed the city's sewer system. Legends whisper of an ancient city submerged beneath the waves, with Mount Waterdeep serving as its gravestone, a reminder of lost glory. The mountain also cradles the underhalls of Melairbode, a once-mighty dwarven hold, echoing with the history of its shield dwarf inhabitants. Mount Waterdeep stands as a natural fortress against the crashing storms of the Sword Coast, rising 700 feet above the harbor. It is more than a geographical landmark—it is a threshold to ancient power. Hidden beneath its stone face lies Undermountain, the mega dungeon ruled by Halaster Blackcloak.

Appearance

The mountain’s craggy slopes are cloaked in moss, windswept stone, and scattered greenery. Jagged cliffs drop toward the sea on the western edge, while footpaths and patrol roads coil up the gentler eastern face. From below, the peak appears stark and silent, crowned in mist and shadow. On clear days, the Watch posts stationed along its ridges catch the sun, flashing like distant beacons above the city.
