Spindle Street was a lesser avenue, paved in corduroy-logs,[1] in the Trades Ward of Waterdeep.[2][3][4]
Geography[]
This street ran from north to south, running off of Selduth Street and trailing down south until it terminated on Coffinmarch.[2][3][4]
History[]
In the late 14th century DR, over the course of a tenday and more, streets across the Trades Ward experienced a number of ghostly sightings. In and around Coffinmarch and Spindle Street in particular, Waterdhavians reported a floating head peering in at windows by day and pursuing during the night.[5]
These sightings left many citizens, scribes, and members of the City Watch confused and some speculated if a wizard experimenting with illusions may have been the cause.[5]
