Spindle Street

Spindle Street was a lesser avenue, paved in corduroy-logs, in the Trades Ward of Waterdeep.

Geography
This street ran from north to south, running off of Selduth Street and trailing down south until it terminated on Coffinmarch.

History
In the late 14 century DR, over the course of a tenday and more, the city of Waterdeep experienced a number of ghostly sightings. On Spindle Street in particular, Waterdhavians reported a floating head peering in at windows by day and pursuing during the night. Another ghost sighting on Spindle Street during this time was that of a group of axe and sword wielding elves and dwarves, who would race and clash down the street and onward to others until they reached the Court of the White Bull.

These sightings left many citizens, scribes, and members of the City Watch confused and some speculated if a wizard experimenting with illusions may have been the cause.
