Did anyone ever publish a guide to Skullport (the big pirate/slaver/monster's den beneath Waterdeep)? And if not, then where else among the official material can I go for info on the infamous Port of Shadows?
Thanks for any help.

Skullport sourcebook from 2e.
Slow Day in Skullport short story.
Waterdeep 3.5e sourcebook.
Paul Kemp's Erevis Cale trilogy. (Some of this is mentioned in the new Waterdeep sourcebook as well.)
The Promanade from Dragon for Eilistraee's temple. (Again, Wooly!)
Various sourcebooks for the Xanthers' Thieves Guild.
Silverfall novel also has some Skullport scenes.
I'm forgetting other material. :)
Edit: My list was better.  |

Also, "Seeing the Sights in Skullport" by Ed and Steven, in DRAGON #172.

This story was included in the Best of Ed anthology.

Yeah, but I included links and one source you missed.

But anyways, I thought as much... Because I didn't recall Slow Day in Skullport ever being published in DRAGON.

There's to many S's in both of those titles and Skullport is in both titles so I brain farted on it. :) |

| Also, there is some touching info (and a great black dragon vs deep dragon battle) in Elaine Cunningham's Daughter of the Drow (book two and first part of book three) trilogy. |

While I'm wondering, was there ever a DRAGON article that covered Eilistraee's Promenade? And what issue was it in?
Thanks for all the help! |

Yes, me and Sage both mentioned it. Scroll back above and read my list and Sages replies with the Dragon issues. |
