The Reading of the Wardens
Legal & Fan Content
An independent fan project
The Reading of the Wardens is an independent, unofficial fan site for The Wardens of Waterdeep. It is not sponsored, approved, or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast or Hasbro. Publisher names, game titles, settings, characters, artwork, logos, trademarks, and other intellectual property remain with their respective owners.
The novel
The Wardens of Waterdeep began as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign played collaboratively by a human player and an AI Game Master, then was transformed and edited into prose. This site presents that fan-created story and related bonus illustrations as a free reading project.
Reader storage and poll
The site may store small first-party browser preferences for the adult-content confirmation, Read Aloud settings, motion preferences, a reading bookmark, and whether this browser has already answered the reader poll. Reader-poll answers are stored as aggregate results in a private data store and are not intended to include a reader’s name or email address. The server may use a connection address transiently for basic abuse-rate limiting, but that address is not written into the poll results.
Read Aloud
Read Aloud is optional. When a reader activates it, the selected passage of published story text is sent to an AI speech service so audio can be generated and returned to the browser. The site does not require a reader account to use the novel.
Age notice
The novel is intended for readers 18 and older. Most of the story is not graphic or sexual, but a small number of passages contain unusually intense violence, adult sexual situations, or strong sexual language. The confirmation is stored in a protected browser cookie. The site does not ask for a birth date or identity document.
Rights-holder requests
If a rights holder believes material on this site should be corrected or removed, please provide a clear description of the concern and the material involved.
