City of the Dead

The City of the Dead is a large public green space and cemetary in the eastern part of the city, bordered by the North Ward and Trades Ward. The City of the Dead is dotted with many graves, crypts, and mausoleums, but also by grassy hills, tended flower beds, clusters of trees, and sculptures of the departed. One of the major landmarks in the City of the Dead is the Warrior's Monument, a sixty-foot tall sculpture featuring men and women striking down trolls, orcs, hobgoblins, bugbears, and barbarians. Above them is a flying griffon rider spearing a skeletal knight. The wounds on the combatants gush water. Many residents of Waterdeep come to the City of the Dead for midday feasts and picnics.
