THE WATCHFUL ORDER OF MAGISTS AND PROTECTORS
Expect to be questioned at the gate, or when you register
with a magister, regarding your ability to cast arcane
magic. Wizards, sorcerers, and other arcane spellcast
ers who intend to stay in Waterdeep for any length of
time are required to register with the city, and will be
strongly encouraged to join the Watchful Order of Mag
ists and Protectors, headed by the Blackstaff.
Members of the Watchful Order are expected to ren
der service to the city when called upon, acting as tem
porary members of the City Watch or City Guard. Their
expertise often helps investigators determine whether
magic was used to commit a crime in the city. Members
can also expect to be tapped for assistance during and
after fires, natural events that cause multiple casualties,
or other nonmagical disasters.
Members of the Watchfu I Order form a more or Jess
sociable association in the city, working together to
keep an eye on any spellcasters who opt not to join their
guild. Any havoc caused by a spellcaster in Waterdeep
risks drawing the wrath of the Lords of Waterdeep-so
it behooves the Watchful Order to watch all its members.
