Luminaries of Twilight Vaeteru
Twilight Vaeteru is a sort of queer wonderland in the nightlife of Waterdeep. Though they are far from the only queer-folk in Waterdeep – indeed, they aren't even the only queer subculture in the City of Splendors – they are a tightly-knit one, full of folk who have no families to call their own or who find the glamourous vaeterann of the scene to be closer to their own sense of self than the people they grew up with.
"Twilight Vaeteru" is a term that refers to the glitzy spectacle of this queer subculture focused around taverns and festhalls and parties, which can be thought of as an "overlay" or something that dwells just beneath the surface of Waterdeep. But Waterdeep is not the only place Twilight Vaeteru is found: the subculture exists in Baldur's Gate, Silverymoon, and a handful of other large cities.
- The Saece Houses of Waterdeep are the faux-noble houses of those who practice saece-craft, the art of playing with appearance and gender roles, transforming themselves in transgressive and delightful ways.
- The Lingo of Vaeteru is a collection of the unique terminologies and slang terms used by those who identify as vaeterann.
