Waterdeep in the 1510s

In the 1510s, Waterdeep was quite an interesting place indeed. 
After the successes of Amelio Cassalanter's first term, he ran for Lordship once again after the Council of the Lords held re-elections in fall 1519. His three chief competitors were Warad the Calm, Lucrezzia Calinezzi and Renaer Smytt. 
Cassalanter promised booming industry by drilling in the Vreilands, leading Waterdeep to an industrial revolution. 
Warad promised tolerance and freedom, stopping drilling, protecting the poor and the vulnerable, and making the place safe. 
Smytt promised to do trade deals with Naysayer and even the Vortic Mercatorium, forming an empire perhaps. 
Calinezzi seemed corrupt, and wanted to make Waterdeep's rich richer. 
The underworld was controlled by the likes of The Thavians. The richer districts were the territory of the Calinezzi family, whilst the working-class industry was the grounds of the Loveridge Family.
