The House of Light was the guildhall of a Waterdhavian guild known as the Guild of Chandlers and Lamplighters.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Location[]

The House of Light was located along Scroll Street,[3][4] in the Trades Ward of Waterdeep. Behind the guildhall stood a warehouse used by the guild.[1][2][3][4][6][5]

Structure[]

This guildhall was three-stories tall.[1][2] The building was a row house that was near constantly bright. Out front of it stood a 4 feet (1.2 meters) tall candle that would be lit at night — this was one of the brightest spots in the Trades Ward at such hours and it was easily found by the lemon scent its wax gave off.[5]

Services[]

During the day, members of the Guild of Chandlers and Lamplighters crafted candles, mostly from tallow, that they would sell. They also worked on repairing lamps during daylight hours.[4]

Reputation[]

The House of Light was among some of the more notable and recognizable guildhalls in the Trades Ward.[5]
