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. Roadmap Expand NPCs and update art to Tarot card style.

appearance
A male human wizard with a tall, imposing figure, clad in a black robe of the archmagi. He has piercing light blue eyes and a meticulously crafted artificial left arm, which he uses to wield his staff of power. His hair is long and black, and he carries an air of authority and menace.
personality
Evil to the core, cunning, and power-hungry, Manshoon is a master manipulator who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He is calculating and strategic, preferring to work from the shadows and use others as pawns in his grand schemes.
backstory
This clone of the ancient archwizard infiltrated Waterdeep years ago and has been hiding out in Kolat Towers ever since. The original Manshoon was one of the founders of the Zhentarim, making enemies across Faerûn, including powerful spellcasters like Laurel Silverhand and Elminster. After a mishap with his clones when the original died, this is one of the last few remaining copies of Manshoon that survived the Manshoon Wars. He now aims to rule Waterdeep, replace the City Watch with loyal mercenaries, and ultimately destroy Halaster Blackcloak to claim Undermountain's riches as well as the Dragon Vault.
