Warrens

The Warrens was an unofficial neighborhood underneath the Dock Ward and Castle Ward in Waterdeep. The newest delvings extended east through the City of the Dead, to the side of the plateau, which were then used to build cliff-face homes overlooking the Undercliff. The tunnels mainly consisted of 5-foot tall passages and rooms which avoided intersecting with the sewers and Undermountain.
The Warrens had existed for hundreds of years by the late 15 century DR and were inhabited primarily by gnomes and halflings. The existence of the tunnels was unknown to most Waterdhavians until the gnomes told the halfings about the tunnels and the halflings told everyone else, and by 1479 DR increasing numbers of dwarves were also finding homes there.
Around 1479 DR the mining through the City of the Dead repeatedly breached into the tombs there. Although the damages were quickly repaired, reports of hauntings and apparitions began emerging in the tunnels, and even rumors of residents being possessed by restless spirits. Some enterprising residents then began trying to take advantage of the situation by seeking out the alleged ghosts, hoping to question them and learn the secrets of the Waterdhavian nobility.
There was a temple dedicated to Baravar Cloakshadow located within the Warrens. The elder high priest of the temple, as of 1479 DR, was Ompahr Daergech. His great-great-great-granddaughter, Roywyn Daergech was also a priest at the temple.
