Piergeiron’s Palace

'''Piergeiron's Palace, or more formally the Palace of Waterdeep''' is the governmental center of the city of Waterdeep, located in Castle Ward.

Built in the Year of the Smoky Moon (1287 DR), the white marble Palace of Waterdeep, now commonly known as Piergeiron’s Palace, still stands as a shining symbol of the Lords’ Rule, unblemished by corruption. The Palace is the main office location for many city officials, the majority of which are dedicated to the administration of city services, such as the City Watch, the City Guard, and the city clerks.

The palace has four gates. From the north, these are Horn Gate, Sally Gate, Main Gate, and Guard Gate. The only public entryway into the palace is by the Main Gate. The entry hall beyond is impressive enough— - an echoing room all of polished marble, empty except for benches along the walls carved into the likenesses of seated lions, and the massive pillars that hold the upper floors of the palace up. The Lords’ Court meets in a large chamber on the second floor, just up the grand staircase from the echoing, open entry hall. Within the hall of the city clerks, there is a scale model of the city built in exacting detail. There are also embassies here from many other countries and cities, although such embassies need not be located in the Palace. The most elaborate embassy in the Palace is the Silverymoon Embassy, with a portal to Alustriel’s Court.

Piergeiron’s lodgings occupy the two northern towers of the northern wing of the Palace. Also in the northern wing are various guest quarters for visiting dignitaries without a separate embassy in the city. Secret tunnels run from Piergeiron’s chambers to all the private meeting places of the Lords, including Blackstaff Tower.
