Badge of the Watch

A badge of the Watch was a magical badge that was awarded to members of the City Watch of Waterdeep who had achieved the rank of captain.

Description
The badge of the Watch had the emblem of Waterdeep. It could be either carried or worn.

Powers
Earning a badge of the Watchmeant having earned the trust of the Open Lord of Waterdeep. Only the Open Lord could award badges of the Watch, and also had the power to terminate an individual's attunement to it.

While wearing a badge of the Watch, the user gained a magically enhanced ability to defend against attacks. Moreover, if the badge came to a distance of more than 5 ft (1.5 m) away from the person it was attuned to, it immediately appeared next to the Open Lord, who then needed only to hold it to become aware of the person' location.

Notable Owners
Jalester Silvermane, one of Laeral Silverhand's field operatives, possessed a badge of the Watch.
