Ashforth (E18)

Howard, Hal. Residents of Trollskull Alley. Dungeon Master's Guild, 2019.

Adjoining Correllon’s Crown and the florist is a building that’s exterior can only be described as somber. The double-doored entrance set back from the alley in a small cobblestone courtyard and the sign beside it reads simply ‘Ashforth’.

Ashforth is a funeral home. Current proprietor’s Zem and Zebulon Ashforth (human commoners) is the third generation to run the business. They have been running it since their father passed years ago. Daisy, their mother, ran the flower shop (E17. Daisy’s).

It seems likely that the family business will end with them, as both are hopeless at matters of the heart. Poor wardrobe, poor grooming, and the hours they keep probably don’t help.

Given the reverence with Waterdeep treats its dead, the business is quite strong. They are devoted to their job and view necromancy as an abomination. Unfortunately, their new assistant, Cassie, is a budding necromancer. She has both men wrapped around her little finger, so they are oblivious to the situation.
