Forum:Research and the gathering of information

Hey everyone, I'm new to the Forgotten Realms Wiki. I'm primarily here research and the gathering of information on my favorite fantasy setting of all time. I'm an aspiring author and it has long been a dream of mine to write a novel set in the amazingly captivating world. This has website has been a tremendous help in my efforts, but when it comes to Waterdeep (the primary locale of Forgotten Realms Novel project) I find that the information is a little lacking in descriptions of the various wards and sections of the city. I know I could turn to some of my favorite books for the information I need, but I'll will be honest, I do not want to merely copy and imitate my greatest influences such as R.A. Salavtore, Richard Baker, and the Father of the Realms himself, Ed Greenwood. So, I'm begging if anyone could refer or send my any information on Waterdeep and the various places of interest from Icewind Dale down to Calimport (basically the entire Sword Coast region of Faerun) I would be deeply indebted to you.
