Sword Coast

Two massive bridges crossing the River Chionthir with a fortress on an islet in the center.

The big River Chionthar is crossed by two gigantic bridges that connect the two regions Twin Songs and Rivington, which belong to the Outer City of Baldur's Gate, with a fortress of the Flaming Fist on an islet in the center. Atop the bridges proper are an assortment of wattle-and-daub buildings, such as tenements and shops, built atop their expanse and precariously slung over their sides. This forms a narrow road that wound between the congestion of buildings, through which caravans and other travelers have to maneuver. Wyrm's Rock allows for none of this overland traffic to pass around its walls, forcing travelers through its well-guarded tunnel.
