Waterdeep’s commercial sector never truly closes, and work stops only during festivals. By night, lanterns and continual flames keep Trades Ward’s streets and shops glowing, with staff who sleep by day to sell to those who shop by night. The city’s major Guilds have their headquarters in Trades Ward, near the businesses they work for or own. The center of the Trades Ward is the Caravans Court, where merchants from all across the world sell their wares.
