Field Ward

The Field Ward of Waterdeep is an unofficial ward of the city, located between the inner and outer walls on the north side of town. It is in fact the city's slums — possessing the poorest living conditions within the city, rife with crime, and serves as a home to the most destitute Waterdavian citizens.
The ward has muddy, unpaved streets and no sanitation services or working sewer system. It's especially crowded, noisy and foul-smelling — stinking of slaughter-houses, tanneries, and waste. The guild businesses whose industries are rather offensive to the nose and ears were all relegated to the Field Ward, outside the city proper. The City Watch do not patrol here, but the City Guard watches over the road between the inner and outer gates to protect those passing through.
