The Blue Alley

The Blue Alley is a dungeon and deathtrap located in Sea Ward, Waterdeep.

In the Year of the Blue Flame (1327 DR), a mad, reclusive mage named Keilier Twistbeard constructed the Blue Alley as a way to afford himself endless amusement. Although Keilier now wanders other planes, he still returns periodically to watch visitors encounter the alley’s perils, making bets with old friends like Maaril on the victims’ probability of success.

Nearly all Waterdhavians have heard of the Blue Alley and know that it lies in Sea Ward. Residents of that ward usually know that its entrance opens on Ivory Street. The alley’s blue paving stones glow faintly underfoot, leading to a T-shaped intersection adorned with a carved stone image of a man’s face twisted in fear.
