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


Author's Note: Welcome to Waterdeep, The City of Splendors! A WIP with more characters, monsters, locations, and more to come! Updates will be frequent. This is a custom adaptation of Waterdeep, one of the most iconic cities in the Forgotten Realms. Designed with plans to supports both Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage, letting you explore the city above and the madness below. Though these will be optional as you are free to explore the city as you please. 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. Remember to sync often! I update frequently, roadmap and recent updates below.

Description

The Beacon of the Dead Tower, a majestic seven-story structure, stands as a revered landmark in Waterdeep's City of the Dead. Originally a bell tower, it has been transformed into a flaming beacon, guiding lost souls and weary travelers. Adorned with intricate carvings and glowing lanterns, the tower illuminates the night sky, casting a warm glow over the surrounding graves. Each year, the citizens gather here for rituals and festivals honoring the dead, spirits, and gods, celebrating life and remembrance. The tower's flames symbolize hope and guidance, making it a central hub for the community's spiritual observances. Its location along the city's perimeter wall enhances its prominence, ensuring that its light is visible from afar, a beacon of solace in the darkness of loss.
