The info about the Dark Enchanter could not be more welcome !
I was trying to link him (the PCs met him earlier) to current events of my campaign : the PCs trying to put oil on the fire between the Unseen and the agents of the Eye.
And I got something even more interesting, those half-steel dragon Unseen hunters.. my PCs being evil and "hired agents" of the Shadows thieves, I got here some very exciting rp possibilites  |

An acknowledgement that it exists and a few hints on what's there, but not much.

Yes.
In general, there's not going to be a lot more new info on the places that have already been detailed in Dungeon #128 or the "nearby places" section of FR1 or CoS. There are new locations though (either truly new or hinted at in an obscure bit of Realmslore and now flushed out) for those with all the old material.

Focused on the area defined as the "Waterdeep region" in the FRCS.
More like the article "Environs of Waterdeep" in Dungeon #127 or #128 (I can never remember), but with lots of new stuff added.
--Eric
'Twas on pages 8 thru 14 of Dragon 128. And that included a map and two full-page ads, so it wasn't a lot of material. |

The rest of the Waterdeep WE should detail the Waterdeep region. This region is adjacent to but does not include Daggerford.

That's odd for them to do that... But it gives me hope!  |

Yeah, I noted that, too. Maybe there was going to be more and they made a last minute decision to split it? |

Here's a thought... I wonder why the WE wasn't printed on the regular FR parchment style? Most of the other previous WE are.

If that's what is going to happen, then neato  .

FWIW, if you don't have the old stuff, this should give you the complete list of nobles. If you do have the old stuff and you carefully compare the changes, you can guess at a lot of plot points.

Ah, it's about time we get the web enchancement for City of Splendors... But I was hoping for more than just a list of nobles. Ah, well. |
