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.

Description

The Spires of the Morning stands as a radiant cathedral in Waterdeep, led by High Radiance Ghentilara and her ambitious underling, Prior Athosar. This temple serves as a sanctuary for over 300 clerics devoted to Lathander, the Morninglord, and is a vital base for the Order of the Aster, a militant group dedicated to thwarting malevolent deities. Originally constructed as a temple and monastery, it became part of the city as its walls expanded. Though it faced destruction during the Night of Temple Fires, it was swiftly rebuilt, continuing its mission of light and hope. The Order of the Aster, comprising crusaders and paladins, defends Lathanderite shrines and promotes the faith throughout the realms. With a barracks nearby, they stand ready to protect the faithful and uphold the teachings of Lathander, embodying the ideals of heroism and righteousness in a world often shadowed by darkness.

Appearance

A grand cathedral with soaring spires, adorned with golden symbols of the Morninglord, surrounded by lush gardens and bustling clerics.
