4 Tarsakh 1492, Waterdeep — The property manager lived in one of the ground floor flats of a building owned by the noble family who employed him. The Cassalanters owned three such buildings on Whim Street, and Saer Barrow bore responsibility for overseeing the 15 rental units therein in exchange for a guild-approved wage and what I presume to be greatly discounted rent for his own unit, if the lease agreement enjoyed by Freyot was any indication. A small, nervous man with a waxy complexion and thin moustache, Saer Barrow made it clear he didn’t want to be seen near the tiefling wizard’s flat when our party entered it, but he made a public show of checking the security of all the units on the row, during which he unlocked Freyot’s door. Once he was “satisfied” all was in order, he left for the Market, at which point we headed up the stairs to the covered porch of the second floor unit.

4 Tarsakh 1492, Waterdeep – Our carriage stopped in front of an overgrown building with several boarded-over windows and a number of cracked, broken, or missing roof tiles. There was little remarkable about the architectural style, to my knowledge: there were hundreds of buildings like it throughout Waterdeep, and it was constructed with the usual tan clay brick crafted east of the city, along the muddy banks of the Dessarin River. I was fairly certain the masonry was imported from Mirabar, having passed through that city on my journey back to Waterdeep from the east, which marked the structure as having been constructed at least two hundred years ago.
