Can anyone tell me where Bronwyn's shop - "curious past" (Thornhold -Elaine Cunningham) is located in Waterdeep. I've a hunch its in Dock ward, but I'd appreciate the exact location as I'm putting it into a NWN mod of Waterdeep. (I would look it up myself but I've packed the book away and I don't know which box it's in)
Thanks.

If you check the map keys in City of Splendors: Waterdeep (or is it Waterdeep: City of Splendors it's called? I keep forgetting) you'll find it.

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Aye, it's in the current Waterdeep sourcebook.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

'Tis the first one.

Ah, although I wish they'd spelled it Splendours, because if I spell it that way it has got to be the only proper way, right?

Got it thanks. It was in Castle Ward which is why I couldn't find it in Dock ward.

Was there not a "Volo does Waterdeep" or somesuch?

Yes, there's a Volo's Guide to Waterdeep.

Though, unfortunately, 'tis not unavailable as a free download at WotC. You can try for a PDF at paizo.com however, for just $4US.

That was the book that made me fall in love with Waterdeep.

Curious Past isn't in there, though. The sourcebook predates the novel by quite a few years.

Just ordered it on Amazon - pricey though. I realise I could have downloaded it for cheaper but it's just not the same.
