How are Tieflings treated in Waterdeep? Do they generally hide their appearances, are they accepted. etc? Is there a current resource I can find that has specifics on the races within the city and their status? @TheEdVerse @ChrisPerkinsDnD @jamesjhaeck @matthewmercer

Waterdeep is a tolerant crossroads trading city; tieflings are accepted, though some younglings and sheltered of any race may shrink back from someone whose appearance awes or frightens them. Drow, illithids, beholders, and orcs are the always-shunned races.

Awesome, thank you. T-Minus 11 days until my new campaign begins. First time in almost 30 years DMing that I am running Forgotten Realms. I'm pretty stoked.

And if I may share something, here's proof (from the Stream of Many Eyes event) of tieflings in Waterdeep (at a table in the taproom of the Yawning Portal, no less): findpeopleon.com/media/BjkPo…

Great! Have fun! I'm working on something useful to those DMing Waterdeep right now, and had great fun dredging up vintage Realmslore relevant to Waterdeep for a superb designer today, too! Waterdeep has become rich and deep in lore over the year, and is a very real place to me.

The amount of lore is honestly what scared me in the past. Always afraid to "screw" something up when I didn't know all of the lore. These days i'm embracing it and reading all I can. Time to explore the world.

Actually seeing my post pop up again I guess it was factually incorrect. I did run a group through LMOP last year which was my real intro to 5E. We all loved it, so I have had a brief into to Forgotten Realms =)
