Duir's Alley
'''Duir's Alley''' is an alley located in Castle Ward, Waterdeep.
This alleyway enters the city block bounded by the Street of Bells, the Street of the Sword, Waterdeep Way and Selduth Street on its east side, just beside (to the north of) the Halls of Hilmer. It forks, going north and south past Hilmer's two metals warehouses to run down the west side of the interior of the block. The alleyway branching off to run down the eastern interior of the block is called Lhoril's Alley.
Today, this busy, winding passage is often the scene of spell demonstrations and practice, as patrons or staff spill out of the rear of The Elfstone Tavern and unleash magic down the alley - sometimes to the vast surprise of someone coming along it!
More than once, visitors to Waterdeep coming to the apartments in the center of this block after dark have been astonished to find two or more elves chatting, wineglasses in hand, as they float in midair, surrounded by a glowing nimbus of blue light. The elves generally ignore such passers-by - but if someone stops and is obviously listening, they have been known to drive the eavesdropper away with spells.
