Tome64

The Sword Coast brought to life! Designed for narrative-rich, experiences, in a detailed world.


Author's Note: Welcome to The Sword Coast! Formerly just Waterdeep, The City of Splendors, but now expanded to include wider portion of the Forgotten Realms in a more focused experience that is somewhat based on canon lore, More updates are coming, so sync often. Roadmap and recent updates are listed below at the end. You can join the Friends and Fables Discord in #Waterdeep: The City of Splendors for feedback, discussion, or suggestions. This is an adaptation of The Sword Coast, the most iconic reigon in the Forgotten Realms. Meaning there are some changes made to canon lore, but things are close enough to still be familiar. Some changes made are minor and some major, see for yourself or even go in and make changes of your own! The design is made with plans to support both Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage, as well as other modules and other adventures lying in wait for you to explore. Right now a good deal of Dragon Heist is prepared, ready to get you started if you wish. Ultimately, you’re free to explore at your own pace and do as you please. The world is your's to shape if you choose, otherwise there plenty of do and experience in the not so Empty Lands of western Faerûn. (Plans to expand the outer planes and even Kara-tur at some point.) 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.

Description

The Guard Smithy is a prominent civic building in Waterdeep's Castle Ward, located in the southern section near the intersection of Soldier's Street and Soothsayer's Way. This two-story structure serves as both a forge and a hub for the city guard, where weapons and armor are crafted and repaired. Owned by Smithy, a blunt and straightforward dwarf who once served as a captain of the guard, the smithy is known for its no-nonsense atmosphere. Adventurers and guards alike frequent the establishment, seeking quality gear and advice from the seasoned smith. The air is filled with the sounds of hammering metal and the scent of burning coal, creating a lively yet industrious environment.

Appearance

A sturdy two-story stone building with a large forge at the front, smoke billowing from the chimney. The exterior is adorned with various weapons displayed on the walls, showcasing the craftsmanship within.
