Rickshaws, known as trotting carts in Waterdeep, were a type of carriage used to transport people in urban areas.[1][2][3]

Description[]

Rickshaws had two wheels and were capable of carrying up to two people comfortably.[1][2][3] Rather than any animal, rickshaws were pulled by one or two people.[2][3]

Notable Users of Rickshaws[]

Individuals[]

In the Xiousing district of Marsember, a man named Shiau Chen operated a rickshaw business out of the Lily Pad Inn.[4]

Groups[]

The Waterdhavian guild known as the Fellowship of Carters and Coachmen operated rickshaws throughout the city of Waterdeep. They charged people a single copper piece[1][5][6] per half hour or less.[6][5]

Regions & Settlements[]

  • On the Rock of Bral, rickshaws were one of the ways that people got around the city. The operators of these rickshaws charged passengers a silver piece.[7]
  • Rickshaws could be seen in use in some parts of Shou Lung.[8]
