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

Waterdeep, known as the City of Splendors, is a bustling metropolis with a rich history that spans millennia. Nestled along the shores of Deepwater Bay, it has been a hub of human civilization for over two thousand years, with settlements like Safgauth and Skullport laying the groundwork for its vibrant culture. As the Gateway to the North, Waterdeep is accessible by various means, including roads, ships, and magical portals. Its thriving markets offer a plethora of goods, while its ancient dungeons promise adventure and danger. Adventurers flock to this grand city, seeking excitement and fortune, but must navigate its complexities to survive and thrive. Around the city, outside it's gates, are various refugee tent camps, pending processing and entry or others drifting in and out. Further out are smaller farming communities, magically enhanced to help feed the cities needs.
