The Four Villas of Castle Ward

The Four Villas of Castle Ward is an informal designation for four abandoned noble villas located in Castle Ward, Waterdeep.

A street called the Cliffride runs to four luxurious villas that stand amid trees and terraced gardens in a little ledge walled in by Mount Waterdeep.

These grand stone houses were built long ago by various noble families in this exclusive and readily defensible enclave. They soon fell out of favor. Lashed by the full fury of the sea storms, they are damp all year round and a nightmare of slick ice everywhere outside and deathly chill inside during winter. They can be rented from their owners for 25 sp/month and up (50 sp/month during the summer), and are residences large enough to house up to 40 people each. As one proceeds south, they are: Fair Winds, on the sea side of the road; Marblehearth, on the land side; Stormwatch, on the sea side; and, tucked into the end of the land, overhung by a frowning cliff, Heroes'’ Rest.
