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

The Castle Ward is the vibrant heart of Waterdeep, encompassing the city's military, government, and the bustling Market Square, the largest in the North. Dominated by the majestic Castle Waterdeep, which towers above the city on a bluff, the area features lavish palaces, government halls, and the imposing Blackstaff Tower. The ward is alive with activity, housing the City Navy's docks and the barracks of the City Guard. Its colors of blue and purple, along with the golden griffon mascot, symbolize the ward's pride and strength. The six walking statues stand as guardians, watching over the citizens as they go about their daily lives, while the courts of magisters echo with the sounds of justice being served. The Castle Ward is not just a place of power; it is the soul of Waterdeep, where history and commerce intertwine.
