Black Lily Drug Trade in Waterdeep
 |
Waterdeep is known to everyone on the Sword Coast as the 'City of Splendours'¸ but little is known about its underbelly. Outside of the rich Castle or Estate quarters¸ life is hard and the competition is cut-throat. Several rival organizations vie for power. Illegal but highly lucrative activities are rampant. Amongst these¸ drug trafficking is the most lucrative of them all¸ leaving a long trail of gold and blood. Gangs have fought each other viciously for control over the drug trade. Guards and local authorities are constantly overworked trying to crack down on the powerful drugs being circulated by these underworld groups. However¸ the most infamous of these drugs is known as the **Black Lily**. Since this drug is much milder than other drugs in circulation¸ the authorities generally ignore it. However¸ this drug gets increasingly addictive with each subsequent use and can quickly allure a user into taking higher and higher doses until it leads to their eventual death.
