Wands

House Wands is one of Waterdeep's leading magecraft clans, with strong ties to the Watchful Order of Magists & Protectors and Blackstaff Tower. Members of the family are scattered across Faerun.

House Wands is one of Waterdeep's oldest families, able to trace its ancestry back to a magister of mystra. The founder of the clan was Eldrus Sunstaff, a wizard from another world who came to Faerun in the year of the Narrow Escape, changed his surname to Wands, and then slew the Reigning magister in the year of high eyes. Members of the family have always espoused a conservative approach to magic that many arcane spellcasters find incredibly restrictive. However, House Wands has played a critical role in ensuring that Waterdeep never fell victim to the magical excesses that consumed the once proud city of Ascalhorn.
