Black Viper Strikes Again!
The elusive Black Viper has reportedly struck once more, this time targeting a high-profile residence in the Sea Ward belonging to one of Waterdeep's wealthiest merchant families. The notorious thief, known for stealing only from the rich and powerful, made off with priceless family heirlooms and rare jewels, leaving behind her signature calling card—a single black feather. Despite increased patrols and magical wards, the City Watch continues to struggle in capturing the criminal. This latest heist has led to heightened security measures across the North and Sea Wards, with many philanthropists fearing they may be the next victims.
In response to the recent crime spree, several noble families have offered a substantial reward for any information leading to the Black Viper’s capture. Meanwhile, rumors swirl that some of Waterdeep’s less fortunate view the Black Viper as a folk hero, striking at the rich and powerful while sparing common folk from harm.
