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

Kolat Towers, once an old stone manor and cottages, was transformed by wizard brothers Alcedor and Duhlark Kolat into a peculiar structure using powerful spells. Surrounded by a stone wall with iron spikes, it featured a magical iron gate and an invisible wall of force that repelled intruders and weather alike. Inside, a courtyard held an elm tree, unkempt rose gardens, and glass statues rumored to be former thieves. The complex included two towers: a six-story taller tower and a four-story lower tower connected by a bridge. By the end of the century, the towers seemed abandoned, yet were secretly inhabited by the infamous Manshoon and his lackeys, who utilized a teleportation circle in the lower tower. Duhlark Kolat's remains lay hidden in a secret bedroom at the top of the taller tower, his skull transformed into a flameskull by Manshoon.
