The Fields of the Dead stretch across the heart of the Western Heartlands, an expansive swath of undulating grassland flanked by the Winding Water and River Chionthar, east of Baldur’s Gate. This somber plain earned its name from the countless battles once waged across its fertile soil, including clashes between Netherese outposts, Calishite warbands, and later, the armies of Baldur’s Gate and Elturel. Ancient burial mounds dot the landscape, some crowned with broken cairns or crumbled statues, while others remain untouched, their secrets buried beneath the earth. Mists cling to these barrows at dawn, whispering with ghostly echoes of the fallen. Though now primarily used for grazing and caravan routes, the land retains a potent sense of solemnity and latent power. Wanderers speak of spectral warriors that rise on certain moonlit nights, and relic hunters comb the fields in search of lost artifacts, tempting fate beneath the ever-watchful skies.

The fields are covered in tall, swaying grass that whispers in the wind, with occasional stone markers and mounds rising from the earth. The sky above is often overcast, casting a somber light over the land, and the air is thick with the weight of history.
