A Forger's Guide to Waterdeep (Skullport and Barovia too!)

Have you wanted assets to build a forgery scenario into your adventures, wanted more realistic wax seals for your missives, or wanted your character to become a master forger?  If so, this might be for you. Intended for both Dungeon Masters and players, this document covers all the major organizations found in Waterdeep - Dragonheist, Waterdeep - Dungeon of the Mad Mage, and Curse of Strahd (with numerous other organizations covered in legacy Forgotten Realms publications). This publication includes:

• A summary of the rules of forgery and forging equipment.
• 180 unique seals listed below with PNG files (plus a couple other failed forgeries and a variant for RP purposes), which can be printed out on notes, titles, deeds, orders, whatever.
• A Master Forger NPC.
• A hook to get a character down the path of becoming a Master Forger.

6/29/21 update: Added 6 dwarven clan metallic foil seals which could either be stamped on weapons/armor or included as a metal foil seal on official diplomatic documents.

3/7/21 update: Added several more wax seals.

2/24/21 update: Added the remaining Waterdeep trade guilds, several more factions, several temples, and many of the legacy noble houses, as well as several seals from Skullport. I also changed some of the previously included guild images to better match each guilds' livery description, changed a few of the previously included house seals, and changed the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors from the faction-styled seal to a guild-styled seal. I also reorganized the seals so each type is in its own zipfile (houses, guilds, factions, etc).
