Was Waterdeep named for the last lines of Tolkien's Song of Durin? I've always wondered.

Not yet. There *is* earlier edition material such as Volo's Guide to Waterdeep and the Forgotten Realms City System boxed set. #wotcstaff https://t.co/5txGLEV9Qc

No. :} It came thus: best harbor on Sword Coast would be a deepwater harbor, but "Deepwater" sounds like Maine, so I swapped, to "Waterdeep"
