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.

Actions

Bite

Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d10 + 6) piercing damage.

Constrict

Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one Large or smaller creature. Hit: 17 (2d10 + 6) bludgeoning damage plus 17 (2d10 + 6) slashing damage. The target is grappled (escape DC 16) if the behir isn't already constricting a creature, and the target is restrained until this grapple ends.

Lightning Breath

The behir exhales a line of lightning that is 20 ft. long and 5 ft. wide. Each creature in that line must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 66 (12d10) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Multiattack

The behir makes two attacks: one with its bite and one to constrict.

Swallow

The behir makes one bite attack against a Medium or smaller target it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is also swallowed, and the grapple ends. While swallowed, the target is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the behir, and it takes 21 (6d6) acid damage at the start of each of the behir's turns. A behir can have only one creature swallowed at a time. If the behir takes 30 damage or more on a single turn from the swallowed creature, the behir must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw at the end of that turn or regurgitate the creature, which falls prone in a space within 10 ft. of the behir. If the behir dies, a swallowed creature is no longer restrained by it and can escape from the corpse by using 15 ft. of movement, exiting prone.
