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

Castle Waterdeep stands as a formidable fortress in the heart of the city, its 60-ft-thick walls towering high, adorned with vibrant banners that flutter in the breeze, visible from the southern districts. The castle is illuminated by continual light spells, casting a warm glow on its stone passageways. With provisions to sustain 50,000 for ten days and 90 cells for 540 prisoners, it serves both as a government seat and a stronghold. Garrisoned by 1,400 City Guards and trained City Watch members, the castle's courtyard echoes with the sounds of drills. Seventy warhorses reside in the stables, ready for swift action. The battlements, grimly, are used for the execution of non-nobles, a stark reminder of the law's reach. Construction began in 963 DR, marking the castle as a symbol of strength and authority just outside the city walls.

Appearance

Castle Waterdeep looms as a massive fortress, its imposing 60-foot-thick walls crowned by battlements lined with banners in city colors. Towers rise at regular intervals, illuminated by magical light, casting a glow over the fortress grounds. Within, courtyards bustle with guards doing drills, while stables shelter warhorses. Iron-barred windows mark the grim presence of prison cells, contrasting starkly with the banners and lively courtyards, symbolizing both strength and stern authority.
