High Fantasy

Fables in the Forgotten Realms

Tome64

The Forgotten Realms brought to life! Designed for narrative-rich experiences in the Forgotten Realms setting of Faerun's Sword Coast. While the main focus of the world is Waterdeep, locations throughout the Sword Coast and outer planes are available as well! Including Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter, The Moonsea, The Outerplanes, and more! What was once a single city has now expanded to most of Faerun in this High Fantasy adventure of magic, technology, and secrets to uncover!

Author's Note: Welcome to The Forgotten Realms Step into one of the most iconic and richly storied worlds in Tabletop, The Forgotten Realms! Now expanded and reimagined for deeper exploration and immersive play. Waterdeep: The City of Splendors is your main gateway to the other famous Sword Coast locations like Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter, 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 world. 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

The Trades Ward is a vibrant hub of commerce, filled with crafters and merchant guilds. Its streets and multi-layered balcony walkways are alive with the sounds of haggling and laughter, day and night. Buildings are adorned with colorful shop signs and advertisements, enticing passersby to explore glove shops, jewelry stores, taverns, and more. The air is fragrant with flowers and baked goods, while the City Watch maintains order amidst the bustling crowds. Guild halls stand proudly, representing the various trades that thrive here, from pottery to armor. Despite the constant activity, a sense of community is often overshadowed by the relentless pursuit of business.

Appearance

Crowded streets twist through rows of shopfronts and workyards, their signs swinging above cluttered stalls and open-air forges. Soot darkens stonework, and awnings flap over crates, barrels, and busy hands. Chimneys puff smoke skyward between guild banners. The clang of tools and call of barkers form a constant din. Stacked balconies sag under laundry lines, and alleys reek of tallow, leather, and ink. Commerce rules here, etched into every brick and bootprint.
