Roaringhorn Villa

The Roaringhorn Villa (North Ward, Waterdeep), is the family home of House Roaringhorn.

Also known as the "High House of Roaringhorn," this city villa of the Waterdhavian noble clan famous for its brawls, parties, and swashbuckling, pranksome approach to life is used to host a seemingly endless succession of feasts. Almost everyone is welcome. The Roaringhorns delight in breaking the heads of vandals and would-be thieves. Although such gatherings can be so crowded and noisy as to resemble a herd of oxen milling about, the down-on-their-luck of Waterdeep can often get food and drink at one of these festive gatherings and meet to conduct shady business, too— though its a bit like whispering secrets in a room full of listeners.

Their hospitality has made the Roaringhorns deeply loved among the citizenry of Waterdeep. Old men and street youths alike have been known to leap to the defense of a drunken Roaringhorn in Dock Ward at night. But their behavior has reduced this once-fine, huge walled villa to a well-worn shambles of torn and stained tapestries, splintered furniture, and empty rooms.

The Roaringhorns seem not to care and never run short of funds. If it’'s ambiance you seek, their home is like an abandoned hold stripped bare-—but there'’s always fun to be had there at least two nights in a tenday. The family'’s never short of volunteers when it announces mercenary hirings, either.
