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.

Description

The Southern Ward is a vibrant area of Waterdeep, known for its rich cultural tapestry woven by the descendants of southern settlers. This district is a haven for traveling merchants, offering the finest halfling cuisine, captivating Calishite music, and exquisite dwarven craftsmanship. However, navigating its maze-like streets can be a challenge, as the treasures are often hidden behind unassuming facades. The residents take immense pride in their heritage as diligent travelers, and the mule stands as the ward's beloved mascot, symbolizing their hardworking spirit and connection to the land. Visitors are often corrected if they mistakenly refer to it as the South Ward, a testament to the locals' pride in their identity.

Appearance

Dust rises from the cobbled roads as caravans trundle past stone buildings with sloped roofs and painted signs. Leather tack hangs from hooks outside shops. Inns boast wide yards for wagons, their walls sun-faded and sturdy. Wooden balconies lean over alleyways, strung with drying linens and laundry. Horses whinny, wheels creak, and the scent of manure and hay mixes with spiced food. The Southern Ward is built for motion and trade, and it shows in every frame.
