Blackcloak Alley

Blacklock Alley was a long, shaded alley in the southern most end of the Southern Ward of Waterdeep.

Description
Blacklock alley was named after a lone obelisk that stood in its center. Local Waterdhavians believed it to be a boon to their neighborhood as it warded away demons and possessed restorative powers. Any person of "pure heart" that their hand or other part of their body through the hole in its center was supposedly granted some form of healing.

Geography
The street ran parallel with the Way of the Dragon, from the rear of a building on the south side of Brian's Street down toward Kolat Towers. It was nestled between an abandoned guild hall and Bilford's General.

Inhabitants
Some local gangs and thieves were known to prowl along Blacklock alley.

Rumors & Legends
The alley has garnered a rather interesting reputation among the inhabitants of the Southern Ward. It was said to house a rather inexpiable ability to teleport items. Rumors range from disappearing coin to entire suits of plate mail appearing to form over them. Lliana the Green, a famous bard from the Pirate Isles said of the alley in one of her shanties: "Like a Sailor, I stumbled into Blacklock a drunk, and woke up with a new set of horns".
