Ruid's Stroll

'''Ruid's Stroll''' is an alley located in South Ward, Waterdeep.

This short, curving passage links Caravan Court with the nearest Trollwall Tower (the one east of the Redbridle Stables) and is fairly safe during the day thanks to the heavy use by the city guard and the watch. It is named for the ghost of a long-dead mage who appears on foggy nights, walking silently down it with his staff in hand and the cowl of his dark robes drawn over his head. He appears at the Court end in swirling mists and fades away again as he reaches the wall tower.

It is said that anyone who stands before the passage of Ruid the Damned will be confronted with a terrible bargain, the price of his hoarded knowledge. Those who accept Ruid's price will wear his wizard's mark until they discharge themselves of his service.
