Ilisar's Alley
'''Ilisar's Alley''' is an alley located in South Ward, Waterdeep.
This alley runs south from Telshambra's Street only to loop around and rejoin it again. Sometimes miscalled ''Illimar's Alley'' this street is named for a famous local tailor who grew very rich. When he died of blacktongue fever, the bulk of his wealth was never found. Some think its buried or walled up in one of the buildings here, because he owned the whole block.
Before Ilisar's time, this back route had a grimmer name: Grave Alley In the days before the wizard Anacaster established gate-tombs in the City of the Dead, citizens of Waterdeep too poor to afford a crypt or to have a country villa to be buried at were interred here. Coffins were put in vertically under each flagstone. The eruptions of undead this caused forced abandonment of this practice very long ago-but locals whisper that sometimes wights, ghouls, zombies, and skeletons come up from the depths of the earth here!
