Lhorils Alley

Lhoril's Alley is an alley located in Castle Ward, Waterdeep.

This winding passage links Duir's Alley with Waterdeep Way, running down the eastern interior of the city block bounded by the Way and by the Street of Bells, Buckle Alley, and the Street of the Sword. By day, it'’s a busy delivery area and garbagepiling place.

Named for the sorceress who met her death here, battling tanar’'ri summoned by an overambitious apprentice, this passage is known to be haunted by the phantom sounds of running, staggering footsteps (origin unknown). They can be heard at any time of day hurrying northwards from Waterdeep Way as if a man or heavily laden woman in boots was fleeing frantically with their last, failing energy. No breathing is ever heard, and no magic or barrier seems to silence or stop this phantom— - nor does it respond to the calls or actions of living beings.
