High Fantasy
The City of Splendors 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.
Author's Note: Welcome to Waterdeep: The City of Splendors
Step into one of the most iconic and richly storied cities in the Forgotten Realms—now expanded and reimagined for deeper exploration and immersive play. Waterdeep: The City of Splendors is your gateway to the Sword Coast, 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 city. 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.

appearance
Amath is a striking female human with an ageless beauty, her medium length black hair cascading down to her shoulders. She wears red, ornate robes adorned gold embroidery, with subtle symbols to Bane, and her piercing green eyes seem to hold a depth of knowledge and power. Despite being a Banelich, she appears youthful and vibrant, thanks to powerful rituals done in the past that restored and maintained her living appearance. Her presence commands attention, and she carries herself with an air of confidence and authority, often accompanied by her acolytes who serve her in her quest for restoring Bane to his former Glory.
personality
Amath is cunning, ambitious, and deeply devoted to Bane. She exudes an aura of authority and fear, often manipulating those around her to achieve her goals. Her past experiences have made her wary of betrayal, leading her to be secretive about her true nature. She is persuasive and charismatic, able to inspire loyalty in her followers while instilling fear in her enemies. Amath is strategic, always planning several steps ahead, and works tirelessly in her undead state, no longer needing rest, to ensure she's never caught unprepared again. The last time nearly cost her everything thanks to Manshoon's arrogance.
backstory
Amath Sercent, a former High Priest of Bane at Zhentil Keep, was Born and raised in Sembia and later drawn to Bane in the Northern Moonsea where she joined their ranks. She transformed herself into a Banelich after the Keep's destruction. Using her fading powers, she cast a Miracle spell to preserve what she could of her life, lying dormant for nearly a century while compounding magical power and recovered. She later emerged from the ruins of Zhentil Keep, recognized by Bane for her dedication. Tasked with spreading Bane's influence in Waterdeep, she seized the chaos between the Zhentarim and Xanathar to recruit acolytes and form a reluctant alliance with Manshoon. Though wary of his past betrayal, she conceals her true identity, leveraging her advantage while using Davil and his Doom Raiders as her main force.
