Castle Ward

Private Homes

  • Delzimmer House: Private Dwarven residence often used by members of the dwarven Delzimmer family of Citadel Adbar.
  • Mirt's Mansion: The most famous landmark around Castle Ward's docks, this stronghold is home to one of Waterdeep's richest ex-adventurers, recently returned to Waterdeep after long being thought dead. Mirt the Moneylender is widely considered the only known of the Masked Lords.
  • The Leone House: The miniature castle originally established by Leone of the Company of Crazed Venturers, with a magical fence that unleashes lightning on trespassers. The Leone House has been passed from adventuring company to adventuring company over the decades since Leone's death, with ownership reverting to an unknown keeper who sees that it remains in the hands of adventurers only.
  • Rusella Varandal (Herald): Rusella's home and main offices as Falconfree are in the tallhouse along Waterdeep Way, just north of Castle Waterdeep in the Court of Gems neighborhood. The three-story tallhouse is an elegant building with several meeting salons on the ground floor, offices and archives on the second, and Rusella's modest living spaces on the third.

Mage Residences

  • Blackstaff Tower: The imposing dark stone tower with no apparent entrances or windows that is the home of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun, archmage of Waterdeep and suspected Lord, and his apprentices.
  • Syndra's Tower: Former sanctum of Syndra Wands, the tower has been a property of House Wands for generations. It is currently the residence of a member of the Wands clan with a great degree of magical power, who prefers to remain away from the family's villa.

Mage Residences

  • The Dragon Tower (Ruined): A wizard's tower in the shape of a dragon rampant, once encircled by walls and an aura of menace, the magic in this domicile practically detonated during the Spellplagues first rising, sending the majority of the tower hurtling into the air above Waterdeep, to come raining down in a thousand pieces, wrecking neighboring buildings. To this day, the grounds are still magically tumultuous, with a Watch warning posted with a command to keep out. Only rough wooden boarding is used to cover over gaping portions of the old wall, though, and those with a mind to enter it can do so easily.
  • Naingate: A walled enclosure around a famous wizard's tower with a magical mid-air waterfall that appears in the courtyard, appearing from nothing and splashing but not collecting on the cobblestones. Naingate is today occupied by the enigmatic magus Xorone of the Libram, the Arcane Watchlord of the Waterdhavian Watch.
  • Blue Alley: A large, windowless stone building that houses a deadly magical trap-laden obstacle course, created by a wizard (who may or may not yet live there) to test the avaricious fools who wander into its blue-tiled passages.
  • Archemidal'’s Tower: Private Home of Archemidal Sulfontis (Mage) (formerly Tessalar's Tower)
