About the adventure
Calling All Roleplayers and Lovers of Intrigue! Step into the bustling streets and shadowed halls of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, where political schemes, masked lords, and hidden treasures await. This campaign merges the rich urban intrigue of Dragon Heist with the deep, deadly descent of Dungeon of the Mad Mage, offering a seamless blend of high-society drama and classic dungeon delving. As a player, you'll have access to a richly detailed campaign wiki—crafted specifically for this game—including guides to the city's wards, customs, and laws; lore entries on nearly every notable location in Waterdeep; and deep background profiles on all 72 noble houses of the city. Whether you're a social schemer or a dungeon delver, this campaign invites you to explore the full breadth of what Waterdeep has to offer. --- To all those who seek fame, fortune, glory, the thrill of adventure, or answers to the mysteries of the Realm - I, famed explorer Volothamp Geddarm, invite to you to join me in the fantastical City of Splendors, for a job of utmost importance! The grandeur and majesty of Waterdeep, unrivaled in the North will - without exception - exceed your every expectation. Any who inquire will be generously compensated for their time, and a handsome reward will be given to any and all who complete my quest. Interested parties will find me at the Yawning Portal Inn and Tavern on the first day of Ches! -Volothamp Geddarm --- For more information on DM Rebecca and the host of amenities I provide, please visit: www.dmrebecca.ca
