Faerun - Northern Sword Coast - DnD

The northern expanse of the Sea of Swords stretches along the western coast of Faerûn, encompassing the waters off cities like Neverwinter and Luskan. This region is characterized by cold, tumultuous seas and frequent storms, making navigation challenging. Notable islands within this area include Ruathym and the Purple Rocks, inhabited by seafaring Northlanders and known for their rich maritime traditions. The city of Luskan, often referred to as the "City of Sails," serves as a dominant maritime hub in this region, historically populated by Northlanders from Ruathym, many of whom were former pirates. The northern Sea of Swords is a vital corridor for trade and exploration, despite its perilous conditions and the presence of pirates and other sea-based threats.
