Philosopher's Court

'''Philosopher's Court''' is located in Dock Ward, Waterdeep.

Better known to locals by its derisive name, the "Foolsquare", this sunny court has always been where old men, drunkards, young thinkers, and the more daring of the city’'s wealthy intellectuals have gathered when the weather is good to argue, flapping their jaws on a raised dais and weathered chairs. Drunks sleep under both the dais and the chairs by night.

Certain nameless nobles pay for torches and a standing city watch patrol to keep proceedings from being interrupted by thieves, ruffians, critics, or nightfall. Some whisper that Piergeiron or Khelben Arunsun or Mirt pay for the arrangements, but many nobles have been heard to say that “"an afternoon stroll to hear the fools is better mirth than most shows thrice the price.”"
