Dock Ward

City District Realmspace Toril Faerûn Northwest Faerûn Sword Coast North Waterdeep Forgotten Realms

Waterdeep's most notorious and colorful ward is also the oldest. Traveler's tales portray it as a lawless, brawling place of drunks, smugglers, and roaming monsters, which is not all that far from the truth. The bustling harbor scene and its attendant activities dominate this ward. Businesses and warehouses that depend on the city's newly restored harbor are located here.

The Blackstar Inn

This dignified, even haughty inn is like a fortress on the outside, with barred windows, stone walls, and a slate roof. Its lobby has two armed guards, and the four hostlers in the locked stables are also armed. Fees are high, but in return, guests get almost soundproof rooms.

The Ship's Prow

Inn. The Ship's Prow rises four floors above the street. This inn is well-known among sailors up and down the Sword Coast. Its best suited to folk who can stand the fishy stink of deep-sea traps and brine barrels', and the noises of dock work, drunken revelry and fighting, the night throughwafting into their rooms.

The Thirsty Throat

The Thirsty Sailor

This decrepit old tavern has boarded-up windows and careless repairs. The interior is smoky and the repulsive odor of tar, stale beer, sour wine, sweat, and worse fills the air. The patrons divide their time here by drinking, singing bawdy songs and brawling. No female staff or patrons grace the Thirsty Sailor, not even female sailors or dockworkers.

The Purple Palace

Festhall. This is the closest thing Waterdeep has to a Calishite silks-boudoir. Its lavender silk draperies and gauzy hangings are heavily perfumed. Everything is cushions, soft carpets, music, and purple-tinted, spiced wine. Companionship is expensive and very good.

The House of Tarmagus

A nondescript warehouse complex in the Dock Ward that rents out its space to those needing to store goods. Concealed in its cavernous cellar is the The Keelhauled Dwarf, a subterranean tavern with low ceilings, good dwarf-brewed ale, and a dark, smoky ambiance. It is favored by duergar and their ilk, as well as many of the city's half-orcs, thugs, and ruffians.

Black Well Court

This cramped courtyard is known for its long-polluted well and as the meeting place of many gangs of street ruffians, thugs, and cultists over the years. As such, it is regularly patrolled by the city guard and the watch.

Three Daggers Alley

Infamous Alley. This alley suffers from a magical curse that causes three daggers to appear out of thin air and attack passersby. The daggers swoop and fly about, making multiple attempts at murder before vanishing again. This magical effect, the result of a spell cast by a long-dead wizard, has resisted all attempts to dispel it.

The Mermaid's Arms

Festhall. Elegant dining lounges, in which one dines or just drinks with an attractive host or hostess (or alone). Increasingly, the Arms is being used by single gentlefolk for a night of love. In other words, patrons are going there to meet each other, not to hire a host or hostess for the night. The Arms is large, well-lit, always busy, and can be quite expensive.
