Trollskull Alley

Trollskull Alley was an alley located in the North Ward of Waterdeep.

Two entrance points existed into the alley from Saerdoun Street and one from Delzorin Street. At the east end of the alley, a removable metal grate provided access to the Waterdhavian sewer system.

History
In the, a fireball was detonated in the alley by a nimblewright in the service of Yalah Gralhund, as part of an assassination attempt on the gnome Dalakhar.
