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.

The Griffon

Description

The Griffon, a towering walking statue, stands majestically on all fours, its back reaching twenty feet high. Crafted from granite, its wings resemble those of a bird, hinting at its once-capable flight. Positioned near Peaktop Aerie atop Mount Waterdeep, it gazes southeast over the bustling Dock Ward. While newcomers may mistake it for a tribute to the Griffon Cavalry, locals understand its true significance. This statue materialized in response to a threat against Ahghairon's Tower, embodying the city's resilience and strength. The Griffon's regal presence serves as a reminder of Waterdeep's storied past and its guardianship over the realm.

Appearance

The Griffon statue is an immense granite figure poised on all fours, its avian wings folded against its sides. Towering twenty feet at the shoulder, it combines leonine muscle with raptor grace—talons outstretched and beak slightly parted, as if frozen mid-roar. Feathers are carved in layered detail along the wings and neck, while the body retains the smoother lines of sculpted stone fur. Its eyes, set with amber-hued quartz, catch the light at dawn and dusk. Positioned near the cliffs of Mount Waterdeep, it overlooks the Dock Ward with silent vigilance, its silhouette stark against the sky.
