Waterdeep

Waterdeep is the capital city of Amaron and a bustling Metropolis welcome to all kinds of people. The world's leader in technological advancement and scientific study, this fantasy city draws many different characters, for better or worse. Also known for the mysterious object named The Companion, a massive floating blue orb, that hovers over the city at all times, protecting it from any Undead presence.
Has a city-wide annual holiday specific to Waterdeep named the Companion's Arrival . 'Rise of Waterdeep' celebration takes place on 15/2 each year annually after the tradition started on 468AU.

Demographics

Waterdeep contains a good balance of middle and upper class citizens, where general wealth is more focused into development and growth then personal gain. However, many have flocked to Waterdeep in an attempt to join the new technological age they have heard rumours of and instead found themselves stuck in the slums of the very same city.

Government

Waterdeep relies on the ruling of the several factions that hold power in Amaron to manage the government and everything that contains.

Defences

In it's current position, Waterdeep floats 300ft above the ground where the only method of getting to the main city is via teleportation circles set around the perimeter, or flight. This leaves the city defended against traditional threats.

Industry & Trade

Surrounding towns and villages import many goods into Waterdeep, such as iron, wool and food. Waterdeep exports magical items, weapons and armor, jewels etc.

Assets

Well known for its advanced technology, one of the first places in Velaria to utilise steam for power.

History

Built atop the ruins of an ancient Mind Flayer city. In 468AU, the entire city was pulled down into Avernus from a combined effort of the Archduke Zariel and the Archlich Pentergost. The city was trapped by infernal chains and was being dragged down into the River Styx before a group of heroes named the Vanguard saved the city by redeeming Zariel . The now-angel pushed the entirety of the now floating city back into the mortal plane where it now floats 300ft above the crater it was once in. The crater is also surrounded by farmland and pastures.

Architecture

The city uses a mix between wood and a wide variety of steampunk-esque metals to manufacture the buildings found inside.

Geography

Was built along the West coast of Amaron and surrounded by a small forest. Now also features a deep crater with a portal to the first layer of The Nine Hells .
