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

Blackstaff Tower, once Arunsun Tower, stands as a formidable landmark in Waterdeep's Castle Ward. Home to Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun and his successors, this imposing structure is crafted from smooth black stone, featuring no windows or doors. The main entrance on Swords Street leads to a central stairwell connecting numerous magical levels, accessible only through specific command words. The tower is self-repairing, with its walls mending swiftly after damage. Inside, illusory windows mask the true nature of the tower, while alcoves display ever-changing magical artifacts. The top floor houses a study, a scrying chamber, and a library with a one-way dimensional door to Candlekeep. Tunnels link the tower to various locations in Waterdeep, enhancing its role as a hub of arcane knowledge. Currently, it serves as the residence of Vajra Safahr, the youngest Blackstaff, and a training ground for aspiring wizards at the Blackstaff Academy.
