Waterdeep: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms

Tome64

The City of Splendors brought to life! Designed for narrative-rich experiences in a detailed world.

Author's Note: Welcome to Waterdeep: The City of Splendors Step into one of the most iconic and richly storied cities in the Forgotten Realms—now expanded and reimagined for deeper exploration and immersive play. Waterdeep: The City of Splendors is your gateway to the Sword Coast, 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 city. 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

Mystra's Arms Asylum stands as a haunting reminder of forgotten sorcery. Once a sanctuary for the magically afflicted, the asylum now lies in ruins used as a secret Temple of Shar within hidden rooms and a well hidden and forgotten basement crpyt. Its crumbling walls echoing with the whispers of forgotten souls. Flickering lights dance in the broken windows, hinting at the lingering presence of the arcane. The air is thick with an unsettling energy, and the faint sound of laughter and cries can be heard, keep unwanted guests away. Overgrown vines and twisted trees encroach upon the structure, as nature reclaims what was once a place of housing the mentally insane. Those foolish enough to explore its depths must tread carefully, for the spirits of the past are restless and the cult of Shar protective of their secrets. Mystra's Arms Asylum is a place where the veil between the living and the dead is thin, and the Cult of Shar exploit that to draw in pockets of the Shadowfell.

Appearance
