Rat Hills Conflagration

The Rat Hills Conflagration was a large fire in a garbage dump located south of the city of Waterdeep in the Year of the Shield (1367 DR). Waterdhavian guard patrols got involved when they spotted what they thought was a group of evil will-o'-wisps in the blaze. They engaged the wisps but did not realize that the group also contained some similar-looking nyths which explosively reproduce in fire. The waterdhavians killed the wisps but two guards were lost when the nyths began to reproduce.
