Waterdeep: The City of Splendors

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

Philosopher's Court or more commonly reffered to as Foolsquare serves as a public square in Waterdeep's Dock Ward, where citizens gather to share philosophies, debate politics, and rally for causes. Amidst the lively discussions and impassioned speeches, a hidden secret lies beneath the cobblestones: a discreet entrance to the sewers, leading to Xanathar's Lair. This clandestine access is carefully monitored by the Thieves Guild, who ensure that the square remains a hub of activity while keeping their true intentions hidden from the public eye. The atmosphere is charged with energy, as the square is a melting pot of ideas and intrigue, where the line between the mundane and the secretive blurs.

Appearance

The square is adorned with statues and benches, surrounded by bustling market stalls. Colorful banners flutter in the breeze, and the air is filled with the sounds of debate and laughter.
