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

A towering statue of a winged, hawk-headed being stands in Waterdeep, its wings tightly folded against its back, leaving its flight capability uncertain. The Walking Statue leans toward the northeast, missing its right foot and arm, remnants of its past as a rampaging figure. Its left arm extends northward, palm forward, as if to signal 'Stop.' This hollowed-out statue has been transformed into Sparaunt Tower, home to several wealthy tenants. The left hand reaches over a courtyard, where a tunnel carved through the arm serves as an entrance. Visitors can ring a bell in the courtyard, prompting a door guard to lower a rope ladder for tenants and expected guests, or a rope chair for those burdened with heavy items.

Appearance

A majestic yet damaged statue, with a hawk head and a hollowed body, now serving as a tower.
