The box text says "He bought you tickets to the opera tonight at the Lightsinger Theater in the Sea Ward."
A couple sentences later it says "Lightsinger Theater is a high-end establishment located in the Castle Ward."
Good spot, but this is another one that's taken directly from the printing of the book and we need to wait for Wizards of the Coast to issue official errata before we make any changes.
This may be an issue with the source text and not specifically DDB's implementation of it, but I notice Dragon Heist so far consistently uses the spelling "Waterdavian," which conflicts with the spelling given in other books (SCAG, PotA, Storm King's Thunder) of "Waterdhavian."
Doesn't look like anyone mentioned this elsewhere, but this is another issue where the official spelling seems to have varied historically. I'm guessing the "error" is copied from the official text in the physical version.
Yeah, it just seems weird to have, within 5e, an official background from SCAG called "Waterdhavian Noble" that's incompatible with the spelling given throughout the first big Waterdeep adventure. I wish someone from WotC would go on record which spelling is correct. /:

Shouldn't is say, consent?
Even if this were an error, I'm guessing it'd be an error in the original text, as that wouldn't just be a typo... but no, this is a legitimate use of the word "condescend", fitting the following definitions from Dictionary.com's various dictionaries:
to stoop or deign to do something:He wouldnotcondescend to misrepresentthefacts.
to putasideone'sdignity or superiorityvoluntarilyandassumeequalitywithoneregarded as inferior:He condescended to theirintellectuallevel in order to be understood.
to do somethingthatoneregards as belowone'sdignity
In short: female drow rarely stoop below their level (of their own perceived superiority) and act as if a male drow is worth taking orders from.
In the Harpers section of Trollskull Alley, the paper bird says the Lightsinger Theater is in the Sea Ward. Later, in the explanation, it says Castle Ward.
From what I could gather, from other sources, it's just south of the Market.
I'm curious - how do you add the random properties to this item (and the other Artefact items in the game) without having to resort to homebrew copies (which kind of makes it more a template than a useable item)?
You can do so with homebrew copies (which is a perfect example of how homebrew is intended to be used).
We do not currently support choosing random properties for artifact items, but it is on the list and will be incorporated at some point.
Thanks!
Will this include stuff like the Cloak of Many Items, which contain random items?
Not technically a 'bug', but an oversight: the Poster Maps do not have any scale on them. This is like rule #1 in map making: always include a scale. It would be nice if WotC published updated versions to the adventure with scales printed on them. Thank you.
I've found a few formatting and linking issues/inconsistencies. There seemed to be a tendency to not link between adjacent sections. I wasn't sure if this was intentional so I treated it as though is wasn't. If it was please ignore those entries.
Introduction
In the section Faction Membership, the term chapter 1 in the last sentence should link to chapter 1 of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.
Chapter 1
In the section Meeting Volo, the text in the quoted section should into two paragraphs between the 5th and 6th sentences (currently it has a line break there, so there is no space between the two paragraphs like there is in the quoted section in the Old Xoblob Shop section).
In the first sentence, the term Blood in the Streets should link to the Blood in the Streets subsection.
In the second sentence, the term Searching the Dock Ward should link to the Searching the Dock Ward subsection, and the term Old Xoblob Shop should link to the Old Xoblob Shop subsection.
In the third sentence, the term The Skewered Dragon should link to the The Skewered Dragon subsection, and the term Candle Lane should link to the Candle Lane subsection.
Thanks for the fast work, and good catch on glyphs of warding (the fact that it's italicized in the text is probably referencing it as an object rather than a spell).
Looking at chapters 1 and 2 (and this may pop up in later chapters as well), it looks like some of the links to different map areas (e.g., area Z4) link only on the area code (area Z4) while others link on the whole term (area Z4). There is an example of each format in Q5. SleepingArea section of chapter 1. I'm not sure which is preferred from a style point of view, but I'm guessing these should all be one or the other, not split between the two.

In Chapter 2, Under "Sample Guild Representatives", under "Ulkoria Stonemarrow"
The last sentence states "The characters can hire her to cast glyphs of warding on the place, for which she charges 300 gp apiece."
Glyphs of warding is in italics, but does not link to any spell, should it link to Glyph of Warding ??

Probably both.
It should but there is the plural in the text.
I noticed that in the market it's saying Releasing on D&D Beyond September 7th as if it still has yet to be released.
If I can't say something nice, I try to not say anything at all. So if I suddenly stop participating in a topic that's probably why.
In Introduction\Factions\Bregan D'aerthe, it says:
"Almost all Bregan D’aerthe members are male because female drow rarely condescend to take orders from a male." (Bolding is mine)

Does that mean it won't get added or that's why it was missed? Couldn't you have the hover text for Glyph of Warding while still saying "glyphs"?
Glyphs of Warding seems to work....or not
Attack: [roll]1d20+[AMOD][/ roll]
Damage: [roll]if([roll:-1:fumble],=1,0,if([roll:-1],<[TARGET],0,if([roll:-1:critical],=1,2{[DAMAGE]}.expand(),[DAMAGE])+[DMOD]))[/ roll]
Has there been any update on the city map issue with the bleed and fold lines being removed?

The cover image is not displaying in the table of contents view on the current Beyond beta app (WDH v.3 and App v.1.1.0.10).
I assume this is the same way in the WotC original and the print book, so DDB won't update it, but I thought I would point it out.
In Chapter 1 at the end of the Tracking Floon section it says:
According to previous sources, the Spouting Fish is on the east side of The Way of the Dragon which puts it in Southern Ward.
Why isn't the word Aboleth connected in the Stone of Golorr card?

Chapter 1
In the section Meeting Volo, the text in the quoted section should into two paragraphs between the 5th and 6th sentences (currently it has a line break there, so there is no space between the two paragraphs like there is in the quoted section in the Old Xoblob Shop section).
In the 2nd paragraph of the Finding Floon section:
In the Searching the Dock Ward subsection, Old Xoblob Shop should link to the Old Xoblob Shop subsection.
In the Z3. Secret Room section, the term Z5 in the last sentence of the 1st paragraph should link to the Z5. Offices section.
In the Q4. Empty Sleeping Area section, the term Q5 should link to the Q5. Sleeping Area section.
In the Q5. Sleeping Area section, the term Q6 in the first sentence of the 2nd paragraph should link to the Q6. Lavatory section.
In the Q8. Getaway Passage section, the term Q9 in the last sentence should link to the Q9. Private Cellar section.
Chapter 2
In the Emmek's Plans table, the closing quote for the term “Tavern Keeping Expenses" in row 4 column 2 should be ” instead of a ".
In the Services subsection of the T3. Steam and Steel section, the term Player’s Handbook should be italicized.
In the Harper Missions table, the term chapter 1 in the second sentence of row 3 column 2 should link to chapter 1.
In the Lords' Alliance Missions table, there is an extra space between the word captain and ) in the second sentence of the row 3 column 3 entry.
In the Ulkoria Stonemarrow section, the term glyphs of warding in the last sentence of the last paragraph should link to the glyph of warding spell.
In the Level Advancement section, the term chapter 3 in the last sentence should link to chapter 3.
Hi samothund, always appreciate you, man.
Those are all fixed, except for the glyph of warding (because of the plural).
Thanks for the fast work, and good catch on glyphs of warding (the fact that it's italicized in the text is probably referencing it as an object rather than a spell).
Looking at chapters 1 and 2 (and this may pop up in later chapters as well), it looks like some of the links to different map areas (e.g., area Z4) link only on the area code (area Z4) while others link on the whole term (area Z4).
