“No cartograph may truly capture Waterdeep, for its soul lies not in stone or street, but in secret. Still, maps serve the bold—and doom the unwary.”
—The Librarian
This map depicts the wards, major roads, and harbor of Waterdeep, the largest and most influential city on the Sword Coast. From the noble mansions of the Sea Ward to the shadows of the Dock Ward, each district holds its own dangers and delights.
Key locations include:
-
Castle Waterdeep, the seat of the Lords
-
Mount Waterdeep, with its ancient tunnels and watchposts
-
Blackstaff Tower, home of the Archmage (when occupied)
-
The Yawning Portal, entrance to The Undermountain
-
Trollskull Manor, current base of the adventuring band known as the Hype Squad
Whether you walk its alleys or scheme in its guildhalls, Waterdeep leaves a mark.
