The Sword Coast diverse and dangerous region in Faerûn, featuring bustling cities, varied landscapes


Author's Note: The Sword Coast, a prominent region in Faerûn, is known for its diverse geography, ranging from coastal plains and marshes to dense forests and towering mountains. Its climate varies, with temperate conditions in the south and frigid northern climates. Major rivers like the Chionthar and Delimbiyr serve as vital trade routes. Notable cities include Waterdeep, the "City of Splendors," which is a hub for trade, politics, and magic, and Baldur’s Gate, a bustling port city with a reputation for intrigue. Neverwinter, once devastated, has rebuilt itself as a place of opportunity, while Icewind Dale in the far north remains harsh and isolated, home to hardy folk and dangerous creatures. The region is home to a variety of cultures, including humans, elves, dwarves, and halflings, each with unique cities and traditions. Powerful factions like the Harpers, Zhentarim, and Lords' Alliance influence regional politics and power struggles. The Sword Coast is fraught with dangers, such as marauding orcs, bandits, and monsters, while the Underdark, with its dangerous denizens, and legendary places like the Ruins of Myth Drannor offer countless challenges and opportunities for adventurers. Magic permeates the Sword Coast, with powerful wizard towers, ancient temples, and magical artifacts scattered throughout. The region’s rich history includes the rise and fall of ancient civilizations like Myth Drannor, a city of powerful elven wizards, and the ongoing influence of The Weave, the source of arcane magic, and the divine power of the gods. With these factors combined, the Sword Coast remains a land of adventure, intrigue, and danger, drawing adventurers seeking wealth, power, and knowledge.

Iron Flask
LegendaryGear (Wondrous Items)
Iron Flask
Weight1.00 lb.

Description

This iron bottle has a brass stopper. You can use an action to speak the flask's command word, targeting a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. If the target is native to a plane of existence other than the one you're on, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be trapped in the flask. If the target has been trapped by the flask before, it has advantage on the saving throw. Once trapped, a creature remains in the flask until released. The flask can hold only one creature at a time. A creature trapped in the flask doesn't need to breathe, eat, or drink and doesn't age. You can use an action to remove the flask's stopper and release the creature the flask contains. The creature is friendly to you and your companions for 1 hour and obeys your commands for that duration. If you give no commands or give it a command that is likely to result in its death, it defends itself but otherwise takes no actions. At the end of the duration, the creature acts in accordance with its normal disposition and alignment. An identify spell reveals that a creature is inside the flask, but the only way to determine the type of creature is to open the flask. A newly discovered bottle might already contain a creature chosen by the GM or determined randomly. | d100 | Contents | |---|---| | 1-50 | Empty | | 51-54 | Demon (type 1) | | 55-58 | Demon (type 2) | | 59-62 | Demon (type 3) | | 63-64 | Demon (type 4) | | 65 | Demon (type 5) | | 66 | Demon (type 6) | | 67 | Deva | | 68-69 | Devil (greater) | | 70-73 | Devil (lesser) | | 74-75 | Djinni | | 76-77 | Efreeti | | 78-83 | Elemental (any) | | 84-86 | Invisible stalker | | 87-90 | Night hag | | 91 | Planetar | | 92-95 | Salamander | | 96 | Solar | | 97-99 | Succubus/incubus | | 100 | Xorn |
