Waterdeep: The City of Splendors

T
Tome64

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


Author's Note: Welcome to Waterdeep, The City of Splendors! The game is now in a playable state. 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 Waterdeep, one of the most iconic cities in the Forgotten Realms. Meaning there are some changes made to canon lore. Some minor and some major. The design is made with plans to support both Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage—though they’re going to be optional. 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 city is your's to shape. 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 Purple Palace stands four stories high, renowned as Waterdeep's closest equivalent to a Calishite silks-boudoir. Inside, soft carpets and countless cushions create an inviting atmosphere, while lavender-hued silk draperies and gauzy hangings fill the air with a heady perfume. Companionship here is costly, yet highly regarded. Adventurers can access the Palace through the Old Xoblob Shop, leading them directly into this luxurious haven. Tathla 'Flamehair' Nightstar, a celebrated courtesan from Calimshan, oversees the establishment. Notable courtesans include Dessra of the Dark Desires and Naneethil of the Sword Tattoo, alongside twin sisters Aletha and Jhoysil Samprava, who serve as secret contacts for the Red Sashes. The Palace has hosted distinguished guests like Sammereza 'Sammer' Sulphontis, a merchant and secretly Masked Lord, who frequents this opulent retreat during his visits to the city.
