The Cat's Tail

'''The Cat's Tail''' is an alley located in Castle Ward, Waterdeep.

The southernmost loop of Cat Alley, this passage runs behind two guildhalls, The Blue Jack tavern, and The Jade Jug, whose stables stand across it. The influence of the money and power vested here has caused this alley to be brightly lit by glowing globes by night that are firmly fixed in high wall brackets and on roof overhangs and patrolled by private guards, who are armed with warning horns, clubs, and daggers. Patrons from the Jack have been known to aid these guards when they sound their horns—and as a result, the masked assailant who haunts Cat Alley keeps clear of this southern loop, and thieves are few indeed. The guards like to gossip about events in the city and for a copper piece or two will even recommend taverns, shops, inns, certain folk, festhalls—and even fences.
