Yartar

FORTRESS ON THE DESSARIN RIVER
A pivotal point for markets within upper half of Faerun, some regard Yartar to be the 'true gate to the North' and a recognized state with a considerable population in comparison to lesser townships around. The city remains on the west bank of the Dessarin river and acts as an effective gate for all travelers heading eastward from the Long Road and Triboar Trails onward to the greater dwarvish settlements of the Evermoors and beyon

The city is seemingly under unending construction due to the swelling size of its populace and the amount of traffic from foreign markets, which is aided not only by travel through the roads but by the great docks along the river.

NOTABLE LOCATIONS IN WATERDEEP
The Magnanimous Emporium

Located within the Market District of the city, this building lies at the end of an alleyway besides Halassa's Fabrics & Tailoring, and has a subterranean floor housing the shop itself. The proprietor, Nona Ehecalt, and her assistant, Itzil, are in the process of moving into the space and preparing it for a proper opening. They do, however, have a few wares ready to sell.

The Safe House (Harpers)
Located within the Buzzard's End, this squat one-floor building is squashed between other damp, squalid buildings in the roughest neighborhood of the city. Two underground levels exist to this building: an initial subterranean level with rooms for visiting Harpers and an additional second level housing a teleportation circle connecting to others in the Harper's Network.
