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

Ahghairon's Tower, the final resting place of Ahghairon, the first Open Lord of Waterdeep, stands at the intersection of the Street of Silks and Waterdeep Way in the Castle Ward. Built on the site of a demonic portal he closed during the Goreclipse, the tower is protected by six formidable barriers, each requiring a key to pass. These wards reactivate quickly, challenging any would-be intruders. Following Ahghairon's death in 1256 DR, his nine apprentices fortified the tower to safeguard his tomb. In 1271 DR, Melkar of Mirabar's failed attempt to breach the defenses resulted in his skeleton being displayed as a grim warning. In 1479 DR, Khondar Naomal nearly succeeded but was thwarted by the Blackstaff, Vajra Safahr, showcasing the tower's enduring legacy and the dangers that lie within.

Appearance

Ahghairon’s Tower rises in flawless grey stone, ringed by glowing wards and crowned with perched stone griffons. Arcane sigils pulse faintly across its base, encircling a shimmering blue portal. The tower’s base is fenced by crystal-tipped posts, and cobbled paths curl past it through Castle Ward’s formal streets. Magic lingers in the air—quiet, watching, unwilling to forget.
