This is a custom adaptation of Waterdeep. Designed for narrative-rich, exciting experience.


Author's Note: Welcome to Waterdeep, The City of Splendors! A WIP with more characters, monsters, locations, and more to come! Updates will be frequent. This is a custom adaptation of Waterdeep, one of the most iconic cities in the Forgotten Realms. Designed with plans to supports both Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage, letting you explore the city above and the madness below. Though these will be optional as you are free to explore the city as you please. This is meant as a way to learn or enjoy Dungeons & Dragons and not to replace the original experience. Nothing replaces the experience of a real table, a real Dungeon Master, and a group of friends. If this inspires you, support the official releases and pick up the books! Even if you never play in person they're nice to own and use for reference. Remember to sync often! I update frequently, roadmap and recent updates below.

Description

Waterdeep, the City of Splendors, is a vibrant cosmopolitan hub in the North, renowned for its rich culture and diversity. It attracts talented artisans, scholars, and merchants from across Faerûn, making it a center of commerce and creativity. The city is predominantly human, but also home to moon elves, dwarves, lightfoot halflings, half-elves, and gnomes, creating a melting pot of cultures. Waterdhavians are known for their social nature, pride in their history, and open-mindedness towards foreign cultures, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. The architecture is a blend of styles, with grand towers, bustling marketplaces, and serene parks, reflecting the city's dynamic spirit and its role as a beacon of civilization in the Realms.
