Mistshore was the name given to the dilapidated north shore of Waterdeep's harbor in the late 15th century DR.[2]

History[]

After the Spellplague of 1385 DR, Waterdeep went into a decline and maintenance of the harbor was neglected. Many ships sank or were scuttled in the northern harbor and eventually Waterdeep's outcasts created a small community on the wrecked ship hulls. The harbor water was polluted and smelled horribly.[2]

In 1491 DR, Mistshore was largely destroyed in a massive fire, with most ships burning down to the waterline and having to be towed out of the harbor to prevent other vessels from running afoul the wreckage.[3] By 1492 DR, most buildings in the neighborhood were still burned and abandoned.[1][note 1]

Description[]

Mistshore was considered so dangerous that the City Watch refused to send patrols into the area.[2]

Notable Locations[]

Crib
This collection of partially sunken ships was the hideout of the crime lord Arowell prior to his death at the hands of Cerest Elenithil. The ships were arranged in a circle with suspended platforms in the center. Arowell sponsored gladiatorial contests to amuse the inhabitants of Mistshore.
Dusk to Dawn
This tavern was nothing more than a tent that moved to different locations in Mistshore nightly.[4]
Hearthfire
The wretched inhabitants of Mistshore created a permanent firepit on which to cook.
Waltzing Ferryman
Sea wraiths kept the inhabitants of Mistshore from approaching this old wreck. It was inhabited by an old spellscarred mage and his friend.[2]

Inhabitants[]

The treasure hunter Grinda Garloth lived in a small residence in Mistshore. She often used her apparatus of Kwalish to search for treasure in Deepwater Harbor.[1]

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).
