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
Asmodeus is a striking figure, standing over 13 feet tall with a slim, red-skinned humanoid form. His horned head and glowing red eyes exude an aura of power and authority. He is impeccably dressed in luxurious red and black clothing, adorned with intricate designs that reflect his status as the ruler of all devilkind. His perfectly trimmed beard adds to his charismatic appearance, making him both alluring and intimidating. Asmodeus's presence commands attention, and his every movement is deliberate and calculated, embodying the essence of a supreme strategist.
personality
Asmodeus is charismatic, captivating, and a master of manipulation. He speaks softly and eloquently, often appearing generous while hiding his true intentions. His demeanor is calm and collected, even in the face of pain, making him seem almost reasonable. He thrives on political intrigue and enjoys playing others like pawns in his grand designs. Despite his charm, he embodies ultimate evil, revealing his true nature when it serves his purposes. Asmodeus is a patient schemer, willing to wait for centuries to see his plans come to fruition, and he views the souls he collects as necessary sacrifices for the greater good of cosmic order.
backstory
Asmodeus, the Lord of Lies, is the embodiment of lawful evil, ruling the Nine Hells from his throne in Nessus. He is a master strategist, orchestrating intricate plots that span the multiverse, often taking centuries to unfold. His charm and eloquence mask a sinister nature, as he lures mortals into contracts that grant their every desire. Though ultimately they lead to their damnation, as that what it means to make a deal with the devil himself. Only a handful manage to defy this fate. Asmodeus believes his actions serve a greater purpose: to maintain order against the chaos of demonkind. He presents himself as a necessary evil, arguing that without his influence, the multiverse would fall into ruin. His manipulations are subtle, often leaving even his followers in a state of uncertainty and fear. Asmodeus's ultimate goal is to become the Supreme Master of all existence, and he will stop at nothing to achieve it, using his unparalleled oratory skills to bend others to his will.
