Sword Coast

A tall, granite hill located on the northern bank of the River Chionthar.

The sides of the hill has steep-faced cliffs of yellow granite that rises high above the Outer City slums of Baldur's Gate. Beneath the hill are a series of sea caves that are rumored to house a den of werewolves. Dusthawk Hill earned its name for being one of the final roosting places of the Chionthar Dusthawk. The hill was declared as private land that was protected from any non-licensed hunters. This action was taken by Baldurian officials to preserve the dwindling population of the Chionthar Dusthawk. Outer City residents begrudge the fact that the land is given more care and protection than their own neighborhoods by the city's wealthy patriar families.
