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

Once a caravan yard between Waterdeep's northern walls, the Field Ward has transformed into a lawless town for refugees denied entry into wealthier neighborhoods. Lacking official status, it remains unpatrolled by the Watch, leading to rampant crime and desperation. The City Guard oversees it from the walls, intervening only when city access is threatened. The muddy streets are filled with the poorest citizens, while the absence of a sewer system exacerbates the squalor. The Guild of Butchers thrives here, operating slaughterhouses and smokehouses, profiting from the area’s misfortune. This grim district serves as a stark reminder of the city's inequalities, where survival often means succumbing to the darker aspects of humanity.

Appearance

Makeshift homes of stacked timber, stone, and scavenged brick line winding dirt roads. Rooftops sag under mismatched shingles, and rainwater carves trenches through crowded alleys. Laundry hangs between windows above uneven fences, while smoke rises from firepits and open kilns. Market stalls huddle under patched tarps, their goods rough but honest. Graffiti marks crumbling walls, and eyes watch from doorways where law rarely lingers and survival is earned daily.
