Holyhands House was a temple to all deities in the North Ward of Waterdeep, active around 1492 DR.[note 1][1]

Location[]

The temple was located on the southeast corner of Copper Street and Delzorin Street.[2]

History[]

This temple was once a villa that belonged to the Maernos noble family and was a bequeathal by the last of the Maernos line, Ultas Maernos. Before he passed away, he began re-purposing the compound and decorated it with artwork and statues by various non-human races.[3] He died sometime before the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR, and thereafter the Maernos estate was known as Holyhands House. It was initially administered by his former halfling retainers, the Defenders Three.[4][5]

Appendix[]

Notes[]

  1. Canon material does not provide a year for the events described in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, but Christopher Perkins answered a question via Twitter and stated the year was 1492 DR. Corroborating this, Dragon Heist page 20 refers to events of Death Masks (set in 1491 DR) as being "last year". Unless a canon source contradicts this assertion, this wiki will use 1492 DR for events related to this sourcebook and Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage (which is referenced on pages 5 and 98 of Dragon Heist).
