Talk:Waterdeep

Western Heartlands
Hmm, I'm not sure why the article states that Waterdeep is considered part of the Western Heartlands?

Virtually all the published sources on the City of Splendors (City of Splendors, The North, The Savage Frontier, Volo's Guide to Waterdeep and Waterdeep: City of Splendors) all pretty much call Waterdeep a city of the North. Even Candlekeep discussions with Ed Greenwood and Steven Schend show the designers also think of it this way, sooo.... BlackAce 19:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I think that this article should be simply at Waterdeep as there is no de facto Waterdhavian state, one of the opening paragraphs from the City of Splendors: Waterdeep reads "Although the City of Splendors does not formally claim any territory outside its walls, the Lords of Waterdeep have always kept a close watch over the region stretching from the Mere of Dead Men to the mouth of the River Delimbiyr, and from the Sea of Swords to the Dessarin Vale. The lands surrounding the City of Splendors make up the Waterdeep region discussed in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting and the Player's Guide to Faerûn. In addition to the human-dominated city, this region includes dwarfholds in the Forlorn Hills and the Swords Mountains, the moon elven lands in and around Ardeep Forest, and the lower Delimbiyr and Dessarin valleys."

So there is no real Waterdhavian state, and I doubt we'll ever have any meaningful article for it, that couldn't be included in Waterdeeps article anyway. My 2 cents anyway. Zerak talk 22:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

fourth edition destroys waterdeep?
I heard that the fourth edition destroys Waterdeep, and a bunch of golems come up from Undermountain or something. Does WoC really expect gamers to follow along as they ruin the setting. . . or change it into Eberron or something? Does this mean the article here is going to be updated? The Time of Troubles was stupid enough, IMHO. I run a 2nd E campaign with specialty priests and a very old-school realms, so I might just be a dinosaur (I'm only 30), but who's calling the shots here, the players or Hasbro? 76.115.59.36 16:45, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The city still stands after the Spellplague, even has a new novel series (Ed Greenwood Presents: Waterdeep of four books). A little insight into what happens to the city can be found here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drfe/20080111a . Otherwise, refer to the new 4th ED FR guides.
