Sword Coast, Faerûn

The Sword Coast is an expansive tract of wilderness, dotted with independent cities and overrun by bands of monstrous creatures. Some see it as merely a place to pass through on the way to a more meaningful destination. It is much more than that, of course—a rich and vibrant land with a long and storied history, encompassing some of the most important cities in all the Realms. It is considered one of the rougher locales of Faerûn, both geographically and by virtue of its people.
