Located in the Sea Ward of Waterdeep, The Blue Alley is the creation of the
wizard Kielier Twistbeard, named for the blue paving stones which make up
the flooring. This bizarre building is largely believed to serve the dual
purpose of study and entertainment for its sadistic creator. The alley is
full of devious traps and strange constructs, placed there along with items
of magic to lure in hapless adventurers.
The city watch posts a guard to keep ignorant and inexperienced people from
wandering into this depraved place. The reason the lords do not have the
place destroyed is, officially, that the place hurts nobody who stays well
clear of it, and many lives would likely be lost in battling its creator.
Unofficially, it keeps the population of foolish adventurers down, and at
the same time attracts adventurers and their coin much like a small version
of Undermountain.
