Today we explore Waterdeep, also known as the City of Splendors or the Crown of the North. It is the most important and influential city in the North and perhaps in all Faerûn.

Did a merge of Part 1 and 2 of A History of Waterdeep into one longer video for more easily consumption. - This video was made for the Forgotten Realms Wiki. Hope the repeated content does not bother my older fans.
nae bother
I'm an old enough older fan, that I could use content repeated to help me remember, ha.
Waterdeep:Crown of the North and Neverwinter:Jewel of the North. My two favorite cities in the Realms
Then stay tuned for our next video :)
And don't forget Silverymoon, "The Gem of the North". xD
Me too
I’m a huge bibliophile. I LOVE reading, so Candlekeep is my favorite city!
And there's luskan, shithole of the north ❤
I met Waterdeep in books in the novel "Rising Tide" some years ago. I liked how the people defended the city when the sahuagin attacked by surprise. It's a fantastic setting.
Planning to run my first DnD-Campaign and thought: "For simplicity's sake: Let's just use an alread existing campaign Setting". Lol.
Thanks for all the work!
The visuals in the videos are good and the voice work is awesome. Gives the vids some flavor.
Thank you :)
Neverwinter Nights music.
**Dies from the nostalgia**
Music that reminds people of the realms:)
I had the maps of Waterdeep, I learned with help from articles how to run a city, I kept it ever flowing, and this carried through to Cyberpunk 2020, where it really shined. Once you truly learn how to roleplay a city, you can bring anything alive, and that includes the great outdoors, where I first learned to game an environment.
this is excellent! i was going to run Waterdeep Dragon Heist, so here i am looking for some history on the city itself. thanks for that(:
I love how you used Neverwinter Nights music. At the same time, this music was used at night times in the Nerverwinter Nights Persistent World called ALFA on their servers for Waterdeep some 13 years ago (!). I used to play there. I think ALFA still exists today.
Back when I played D&D during the late 80s to mid 90s I much preferred the forgotten realms modules to the Dragonlance because the lore was so much more expansive and allowed a greater freedom of imagination. Whereas Dragonlance lore felt restrictive and afforded less avenues of who you were and how you played. That said it was for these same reasons that I preferred the Dragonlance novels to forgotten realms novels.
Awesome and still timely for Waterdeep Dragon Heist
Thank you :)
5e sucks! I've never played 4e, and my group was not into 5e so I had to stuck to 3.5, being the youngest. Now I know why. 5e has been dumbed down to some sort of Barbie RPG. What little Math 3.5 had (and I know it was little because I once played AD&D: as delightful as it is deadly) was stripped away. Rules were simplified, characters were put into casts they could not escape. 3.5 characters had an immense number of options at their disposal, including classes (prestige or not), different ways to work magic, feats (more than a thousand of those), a multitude of races, a million multitudes of spells, variant rules, things like vows, corruption, a working cosmology, rule flexibility that made stuff like D20 World of Warcraft, D20 Star Wars and D20 Shadowpunk possible, a host of monsters no other RPG system could come close to...
*I don't actually hate 5e* I just wished WotC would continue to support 3.5 like a decent company would. We have payed for that service, so continue supporting your fanbase. What the heck are you WotC? Lucasfilms? Put the customer *first* and all the money in the world will come to you.
@@davizitopa7252 the success of 5e consist in the game being so simple, so that many new stuff, made mainly by fans, can be easily introduced into the game.
I just usted your video as the intro to my campaign. Good work mate
I Just found this Chanel, and Maaaan... Im gonna spend some time here
I can play any environment, and I loved the Moonshea Isles also, from one of the original Forgotten realms creators. It is a really spectacular place to roleplay.
Liked and Subscribed, how is this video five years old and I'm just now subscribing?
Also your voice is perfect for tihs.
Looking to run a group in my favorite Realms. Nice bits of history. Love the intrigue of Waterdeep. Players will start in Shadowdale (actually a tiny town outside Shadowdale) in the Dalelands. I have a remohraz on the shelf waiting. Ideas for trips to the Sword Coast and maybe Calimshan.
Ah, Forgotten Realms. I have read quite a few books. R. A. Salvatore penned some popular characters. Quite a number of notable authors.
Nice video, keep up the good work.
Thank you, will do :)
Amazing narration very interesting video
I miss this channel
D&D lore has gargantuan potential to build the biggest and richest open world mmorpg ever!
Very much enjoyed this! Going to play this as a primer on a big screen on the first session of a Dragon Heist campaign! Well done!
I love the Neverwinter Nights music, nice touch!
We’re running Dragon Heist and my DM sent this to me. Cool video, thanks!
Glad to see it be of use :)
Thanks for making this, it's super helpful!
You know what I want? As a new DM, I'd like a bit of lore, but ALSO I want something that's not always so pompous and shares remarks about districts, people, and shops mentioned in other modules or adventures so I can reference some of those places to people who have played them and have them think, "Hey, this person really knows their stuff."
I know the standard reply is to make it up, but it feels better when you have something to ground to. For example, I'd figure some known king ran this place, but apparently it's a pair of anonymous people? I'll have to check out the merge as it's called to see if that gives anything new and helpful.
What about undermountain?
Guess there might be a little influx of watchers of this video because of Baldur's Gate 3, the character Gale constantly talking about this city.
thank you so much for this
you guys should do something on the Under Mountain Halasters creation
I'm just starting a run of Waterdeep Dragon Heist. Before I watch this video are there any spoilers? Wanting to learn, just not too much...
BTW, your other videos are great, keep up the good work.
Nope - Faerun History does not discuss any of the grander stuff in Dragon Heist, but will discuss history of Waterdeep that you would know if you grew up in Waterdeep, but should maybe not know if you have the background of "far traveler" background.
Man, this background music takes me back.
Well done!!
Thank you :)
Silverymoon please!!
I wish I still had the collection of books based on forgotten realms.
I have lost a lot of mines as well. DM guild has been good for getting PDF versions for research.
Ihad the boxed set. The map was huge!!! it covered my office wall. which was my game room. MANY PCS DIED IN THE GRAVE YARD TILL A GRoup of my own demi god when in, there find the demon lord orcus. there making deals and opening gates to new campaigns. . Then came men from other crystal spheres. my friends campaigns this is how we played together. then we found the city of sigil. and races of gem,metalic dragon kind. human oid races decended from the dragons. A planet size cemetary ruled by a lich god. we had many different campaighns ppls etc
Had the same set, hung in my room as well :) I used to spend hours exploring the streets of waterdeep.
@@ForgottenRealmsHistory I HAD spelljamming ships that were reg human ships made to be spel jammers. my other patrners had hidden bases on islands wher we would hord items from othe sphers. the ships would use certain spelss and not be seen we traded a lot in water deep and many other big cities. we even traded in the under dark. a drow god from another sphere more powerful than lolth married he and became parents of a new race of drow lol
Love that music.
So much lore....as amazing as it is, it is tough to make a game because of the research involved ...
Neverwinter Nights music
Please, the name of the background music. Can you tell it?
Reminiscing of days long past, of days were D&D was more widespread, BUT IT WILL RISE!
Cool
Thank you :)
I think I said this in the old video as well cause I get this weird déjà vu. But the Masked Lord Shilarn was female. She definitely wasn't a bald guy with glasses. :)
Damn that's what I thought. But no response after two years....dang...
You never know when polymorph exists
I wonder if people could just leave the city willy nilly or did they need permission to leave
Gale in BG3 calls waterdeep city of splendor I could of sworn that was neverwinter 😅
I wish someone (hint, hint, WotC) would make something like Second Life based on Faerun.
I just want to live in Waterdeep.
I was pretty good at making it a reality, at one time.
I have a hard time understanding the logistics of feeding the people of Waterdeep. It would seem the country side would need to be full of giant corporate farms.
Laughs in Halaster
But seriously, great video. Thanks for your work.
This is not an easy work, but do it: make a summary of Volo's guides, Waterdeep and the North, City of Splendours, Ruins of Undermountain I & II, and the fabled City System Boxed Set (I could never find it for purchase. Maybe if I had the money to shop online...)
Add to this the changes brought by the several events, like the Time of Troubles (spoiler-warn everybody, of course), then Spellplague, Second Sundering and all of the events that took place in the city.
It should be a magnificent monument, a tribute in video-format, to the Jewel Of The North. Do it well (including marketing) and you shall probably have a 3M views video at least.
Lol why is emhyr var emreis from the witcher 3 here jajaja,interesting video though
"paid well to avoid corruption" LOL!!
That doesn´t work.
kuho
High school writing.
No elected officials... seems wrong
Tried to watch it but I can't stop cringing at the very obviously younger man's voice trying to play a much, much older man for dramatic effect (if he stopped trying to sound so much older and just keep the grit and tone it could work though). I'm sorry to say but he just hasn't got the pipes and/or training to pull it off that voice and it's just too distracting. I tried but I can't.
I'd prefer a more neutral voice I can follow. I'm here for the lore, not the presentation. I guess it's back to just reading and searching for other videos...
[Edit] If your like me try Jorphdan for lore.
So. Much. Vocal Fry. I can't listen to it.
Holy fucking boring. I just hate this forgotten realms lore. Build your own campaign setting, gm’s. Players could care less about this crap. It goes in one ear and out the other.
I guess it’s good for falling asleep.
