Wands Villa

Wands Villa was the family estate of the Waterdhavian noble house Wands.

Location
The Wands Villa was located in the North Ward of Waterdeep,  on the corner of Magecourt and Shando Street. It stood down the road from the Hothemer Villa.

Structure
Like many Waterdhavian villas, this was a walled estate featuring a landscaped garden, with the entrance to the estate being a massive oaken gate. The building complex consisted of two high-quality buildings, one that was five stories tall and another that stood a three stories tall, one being the mansion proper and the other a guesthouse. Notably, the mansion was adorned with twin towers over a large central chamber.

On the exterior walls of the estate's buildings were hung purple banners bearing the Wands family's insignia.

Interiors
The interior of the Wands mansion featured a long marble entry hall, leading to a sweeping staircase. The second floor featured a gallery. Inside the cellars of the estate, there stood a vault of artifacts that had permanent web spells draped across their ceiling.

Inhabitants
In addition to the Wands family, the house was inhabited by iron golem servitors and a watchspider that watched over their artifact vault. If ever there was more than two intruders, the watchspider was trained to drink from a basin above the webs that held a unique variant of potion of heroism.

History
In the late 14 century DR, the Wands family put a great many magical wards in place over the villa to protect the household's members from increasing attacks by creatures from the Far Realm.
