Why thank you Jeremy! I shall make a note of these and look them all up for further lore. I appreciate each one having a small description as well!

There are so many novels I need to find about Waterdeep and other various aspects of Faerun. I love the realms!

Perhaps we should have a thread specifically for sharing locations we've added to Waterdeep.

Disintegration is in the eye of the Beholder.

I think that's a great idea, for those of us that love Waterdeep and want to learn more about it. Locations, governing system, history, historical figures, etc.

This helps GREATLY! The more information I have about Waterdeep, the better! I love this place, almost as much as Baldur's Gate itself! As a matter of fact I'd like to put together a scroll on here consisting of Waterdeep lore and information. For everyone to see! Unless there already is one, having fellow sages add canon lore!

Not sure if anyone remembers this but I really enjoyed the "Eye of the Beholder" games for PC. Well the first one is still my favourite to this day. What I did in my own personal D&D FR campaign was I made "Kirath Half-elven" a Lord of Waterdeep after he made it out of the dungeons below the city.

Now if you don't know Kirath, he was a magic user who's bones you find in the Mind Flayer level of the game. You can have him resurrected and he will join the party.

I so love Waterdeep!

Cheers!

I can't tell you how many of my games began in the "Yawning Portal".

My old notes are long gone, but I remember doing a lot of extensive work on the "Watch Wizards". I went to great lengths to flesh them out more.

I'm sure there have been plenty of requests for Waterdeep lore, but I don't know if there exists a dedicated Waterdeep scroll (i.e an equivalent to the Looking For All Info About Cormyr scroll).

Were I you, I'd go right ahead and start one, either on the Running the Realms shelf or perhaps on the Sage of Realmslore shelf.

************

Some names of books and other media written by NPCs residing in Waterdeep or written about Waterdeep follow. All are taken from the list I and others worked on over at Loremaster.org in the Books of the Realms thread there:

[[Greenwood, Ed (2005). Hand of Fire (Second Edition). 7]]

A Walk in My City. Kuldhas of Waterdeep. Year of Azuth's Woe (1440 DR).

I drew inspriation from the same thing when I designed an adventure to go with "I, Tyrant." They players were not the first heroes Piergeiron sent to investigate the Beholder island. At the bottom of one of the beholder lairs was the player character of a long-missing player, turned to stone. The players revived him and he joined the party.


Disintegration is in the eye of the Beholder.

There is a dedicated lore scroll for nothing but added info from other sages to the ever growing library on Waterdeep. I have created with my fellow sages in mind, much appreciated!

Waterdeep, The City Of Splendors!

Ha, nice to see that at least some of the more important people made it through the Spellplague

Now if I could just remember where I put that book...

No Canon, more stories, more Realms.
