| − | + | The nobility of Waterdeep is a merchant prince aristocracy. These nobles are not the military families of so many other nations; it is only fitting that the greatest mercantile city in the North should have an aristocracy derived from its most successful economic adepts. | |

| − | + | The nobles of Waterdeep do not rule: they do not make or enforce laws. Their nobility is a legal status, one which grants them extensive privileges, and one which must be registered and recognized by the Lords of Waterdeep. Such recognition usually only happens at the encouragement of the nobles themselves, although the Open Lord Dagult Neverember flouted this tradition and ennobled whom he pleased, primarily those who had "purchased" the nobility of another Waterdhavian family. | |

Latest revision as of 16:21, 14 January 2020
The nobility of Waterdeep is a merchant prince aristocracy. These nobles are not the military families of so many other nations; it is only fitting that the greatest mercantile city in the North should have an aristocracy derived from its most successful economic adepts.
The nobles of Waterdeep do not rule: they do not make or enforce laws. Their nobility is a legal status, one which grants them extensive privileges, and one which must be registered and recognized by the Lords of Waterdeep. Such recognition usually only happens at the encouragement of the nobles themselves, although the Open Lord Dagult Neverember flouted this tradition and ennobled whom he pleased, primarily those who had "purchased" the nobility of another Waterdhavian family.
Today, there are eighty-five Waterdhavian noble Houses, each with heraldry properly registered and approved by the Heralds.
Of Noble Interest
- Timeline of Foundings: The timeline of Waterdhavian noble house foundings, by year.
- Extinct Houses: Those Houses which have fallen over the years.
- The Coming Out Event: The introduction of new noble adults to society, a rite of passage for Waterdhavian nobles.
- The Game: The social "game" of influence and prestige played by Waterdeep's nobles, whether they wish to or not.
- Wines of Waterdeep: The five vintner Houses of Waterdeep have a rivalry as fierce as any over their vintages. This is a look at the wines they bring to the table.
