  • Entering the gates of Waterdeep, the height of those towering walls shelter you from the relentless beat of the summer sun. You have done your research on the city, know all the best places to go and to avoid, what wondrous sights to see and even a little of its history.
    The city of Splendors is ripe for the taking, your taking - but, you know you won’t rise to greatness without a few friends along the way. Think carefully about what alliances you choose to make, for in Waterdeep, reputation is everything.
    In this video we look at the Lore of Waterdeep the city of splendors and the factions it holds! This can be used as an introduction for players to Factions along with to help DMs in learning them ahead of running Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.

    As a DM planning to run Dragon Heist (eventually), this will be a great video to show players interested in joining a faction

      That's awesome to hear Bob!
      It's something that as someone playing Dragon Heist I had to really try tiptoe around to not hit spoilers so I thought it would be good to do a video on them! Luckily my DM wrote the script on this one! That way I can know its 100% non-spoiler haha

      Hollow Tale ahh so did they write, “perhaps you whisper in the forest, and you find that the forest whispers back?” Because I’m totally stealing that line!!

      @@BobWorldBuilder I believe not! It's not where we got it from either way! The majority of the scripts we do rarely ever take direct quotes! The aim is to make it more narrative and storytelling esc when we do the scripts!

      I'm currently running it, and most of the players are new. It's my second time starting to run the module as the last party fell to schedule issues. Needless to say, I'm absorbing as much as I can. And that includes your videos, Bob. But for inspiration and love of your style, etc. Been playing and DMing for too long, and it's in my family history too. Anyway, I appreciate you Bob and of course @Hollow Tale too, Thanks both!

    Awesome video, can’t wait to show it to my party to get them ready for chapter two in dragon heist. Probably the only lore video out there I’m comfortable showing my players since this one actually takes caution of spoilers

    It would be really helpful to add the names of the faction next to their faction symbol so we can easily identify them. Unless you are listening carefully you can easily miss the name of the faction especially if you're doing something else while listening to this.

    Good video. Names of factions in writing during video would have been nice

    My Drow players (and one Moon Elf) are entangled with Eilistraee. They're already in (or about to have) talks with the Harpers so I need to find lore on them.
