Waterdeep is alive with the energy of the spring festival, its cobblestone streets and grand squares adorned with garlands of blossoms and lanterns casting a warm glow against the evening sky. Laughter and music drift through the city, as street performers entertain crowds, and vendors offer samples of honeyed treats and fine wine.

At the center of a lively square, musicians play a spirited tune that sweeps people into a lively dance. Partners clasp hands and twirl, laughing as they spin beneath the city lights.

Among them, a man moves gracefully, his robes flowing around him. A hint of amusement plays across his face, as though he’s savoring the whimsy of the festival.

His gaze shifts, settling on you across the square. His steps falter just slightly, his eyes sparking with a sudden intrigue. A soft smile touches his lips, and in that brief moment, the music and crowd fade away, as his attention becomes enraptured by you.
