Waterdeep has a strong tradition of magery. Waterdhavians inclined to worhsip one of the "arcane" faiths have traditionally favored the Lady of Mysteries dating back to the establishment of the House of Wonder in the Year of Starlight (1215 DR).
In Waterdeep, the Church of Mystra has long played a secondary role to the Watchful Order of Magists & Protectors because the sale of spells and magic items is traditionally in the province of the guild, not the church. Waterdeep's Mystran church is closely allied with the Church of Selune, and the two faiths work together to battle the followers of Shar.
Temple Personages
- Temple Magister Meleghost Starseer: High Priest of Mystra. With a reputation for being both cruel and urbane, the necromancer Meleghost is the high priest of the House of Wonder, a position called "Temple Magister". He has long slender fingers, a shaven head and a neatly trimmed goatee. Given to long flowing robes adorned with runes, Meleghost is fiercely devoted to the Lady of Mysteries and her patronage of all avenues of arcane investigation, including necromancy. Meleghost is a close friend of the Dragon Mage Maaril, and the leaders of the Eltorchul family, but has never gotten along with Blacstaff Tower or the Wands family.
Other Clergy
- Ilbrost Mythyl: Lord of Mystery. One of the senior priests of the House, Ilbrost is an aging enchanter and cleric who deftly relies on his magic to retain a place in Waterdeep's social scene. He is always immacualtely groomed, with a thin moustache, sumptuous wizardly robes and slicked-back thinning grey hair. He is the nominal leader of the cleric faction seeking to unseat Meleghost, but his lack of personal ambition for the job has kept him from rebelling strongly against his superior.
