Largest city on the Sword Coast. Proberly in the world.
The city is governed by the Masked Lords, an anonymous group of representatives who are in turn led by the Open Lord of Waterdeep - Laeral Silverhand.
Economic activity in Waterdeep has been dominated by the city’s dozens of guilds for more than three centuries, and virtually all commerce flows through them.
The City Watch enforces the day-today law in the city, while the Magisters act as judge and jury. Both are swift to mete out justice as needed and are guided by the Code Legal.
The City Guard (and its famed griffonriders) defends the city from outside threats, along with the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors.
