Editing Waterdeep

{{dnd-stub}}

'''Waterdeep''' is one of the most famous cities of the [[Forgotten Realms]] setting for [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. Alongside the city of [[Neverwinter]], it is one of the two largest, most prosperous and most famous cities to be found in Northwest [[Faerun]], and of the two it is the most southerly. Situated on the Sword Coast, it lies south of the [[Sword Mountains]] and is in fact the second settlement one encounters after entering the North via the coast.

It is a massive commercial hub, and also a legendarily cosmopolitan city; regarded as a beacon of art and high culture, it is incredibly popular with artisans and scholars. Widely considered to be one of the most powerful and influential member-states of the [[Lord's Alliance]] that loosely controls the North, if not ''the'' most.

Features of note include the massive dungeon complex of [[Undermountain]], inhabited by the insane archmage [[Halaster Blackcloak]], the largest [[spelljammer]] port in all of Faerun, eight gargantuan [[golem]] defenders known as the Walking Statues of Waterdeep, and a resident archmage known by designated title as "[[The Blackstaff]]", after the artifact they carry as the symbol of their office.
