The Sword and Sextant was a map shop located in the subterranean city of Skullport deep beneath the grand metropolis of Waterdeep. It could be found within the south-eastern region of the city's lowest level, known as the Dredge.[1]

History[]

During the late 14th century DR, the Sword and Sextant was overseen by its owner, the Tethyrian map-maker Aekyl Dafyre.[2]

By the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR,[note 1] it was being run by a pair of halfling brothers, Oleander and Will. They sought to procure any accurate maps that portrayed a precise layout of Undermountain.[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).
