Hey @TheEdVerse, got a hopefully simple question about your most prolific city.
In the book “Volo’s Guide to Waterdeep,” one of the little maps show these two stores never mentioned anywhere in any book. I’m assuming they were cut for space – mind sharing anything about them? pic.twitter.com/3GAQJcF3u4— Sundered|🐜|ENVTuber (@Sundered_Ant) September 10, 2021
