i
U

crime lord's interests run deep beneath the
city ofWaterdeep.
Disclaimer: Any similarities between monsters depicted in this
book and monsters that actually exist ore purely coincidental.
That goes double for mind flayers, which absolutely, utterfy, and
completely do not exist, nor do they secretly run the Dal.D team.
Do we really need a disclaimer to tell you that? You shouldn't use
your brain to consider such irrational thoughts. They only make
the mind cluttered, confused, and unpleasantly chewy. A good
brain is nice, tender, and barely used. Go ahead, put down this
book and watch some reality TV or Internet cat videos. They're
really funny these days. You won't regret it. We say this only
because we love you and your juicy, succulent gamer brain.
