Waterdeep/North Ward

The North Ward was the northeastern sector of the city of Waterdeep.

Geography
The North Ward was delimited by the walls of the City of the Dead to the southeast and the Trollwall to the east and north. Its southern border was at Andamaar's Street and Trader's Way up to Shield Street, which marked the western border until Vondil Street. North of that, the western border was defined by the High Road the rest of the way to the Trollwall.

Geographical Features
The most prominent feature of the North Ward was the Cliffwatch, a section of the Waterdeep plateau that was so steep and high that it provided a natural defense, so the area was marked by an interruption of the Trollwall between the Endcliff Tower and the Watchway Tower in the City of the Dead. A walkway traversed the entire Cliffwatch, along which some of the best inns and taverns of Waterdeep were located, taking advantage of the beautiful landscape to the east.

History
The North Ward was officially included as one of the official wards of Waterdeep in the, together with the Sea Ward.

Inhabitants
The North Ward was inhabited primarily by upper-middle class Waterdhavians, successful merchants, and lesser noble houses of the city.

When engaging in parades or competitions, the North Ward adopted the colors green and orange. Its mascot was a white dove, that was typically depicted mid-flight. The ward was famous for its numerous birds that flew in large flocks at dawn and dusk, and it was also common for North Ward buildings to have dovecotes on their roofs.
