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

Boasting the largest and richest gambling house in all of Waterdeep, perhaps all of Faerun, this huge, balconied and turreted, 4-story stone structure, occupies the entire interior of the city block on which it is located. The only public entrance is in a courtyard at the end of a corridor with walls. It reeks of wealth, if not sophistication and taste. The interior is lushly decorated with carpets and tapestries on nearly every surface. In addition to being magically lit, the interior of the building is also magically heated and cooled, providing a welcome comfort no matter the season. Weapons are not permitted inside the Gentle Mermaid, so guests will be expected to check any they are carrying with the coatroom attendant, though guests are not searched for or even asked to remove any but openly worn weapons. The Mermaid is confident in their security. Any person not wearing fine clothes is turned away per the establishment’s dress code.
