Greetings All
I am looking for a vary detailed time line of waterdeep. I am wondering if such a thing even exists there is a general north time of the north by year in the old the north product, but what I am hoping for is a time line of major events in waterdeep by year. I am thinking of sending a party of adventures back in time in waterdeep to some of the city’s more memorable events. There seem to be large gapes in the timeline provided in the waterdeep source book any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I suppose you mean an online timeline? Since Waterdeep: City of Splendors (or, my favourite, city system) has just what you need otherwise.

The most current and complete look at the history of Waterdeep is to be found in Eric Boyd's "City of Splendors: Waterdeep" accessory, as Vvornth noted. It is not however in "timeline" form but rather a prose examination of the place's history.

Yeah, City System does have it timelined though.

A lot of stuff has happened in Waterdeep since City System was published. The 3E source is your best bet.

There are also plenty of Waterdeep Timeline tidbits in the PDF A Grand History of the Realms by Brian R James. It is fairly recent, and Brian told us just yesterday that it will likely be updated again in a month or two -- which will likely include the information in CoS:W.

Just perform a search for Waterdeep in the timeline to find specific references about the City of Splendors itself.

Thanks

A big thank you to all, I managed to pull together a time line of water deep using all of your suggested sources from this topic. This will be a big help to me as I plan my waterdeep campaign half the battle is knowing where to look.
