The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

Trollclaw Ford, a ruined hamlet along the Coast Way, marks the sole safe wagon crossing of the Winding Water for leagues, nestled at the foot of the mist-shrouded Trollclaws. These hills, known for their steep, grassy slopes and dense foliage, are a notorious troll stronghold, making the area perpetually dangerous. The ford's strategic importance between Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep has led to numerous occupations, evidenced by the crumbling remnants of forts scattered about the site. Though now desolate, the remnants indicate a once vital, albeit perilous, waypoint, where the winding river meets the troll-infested hills, a stark reminder of the Sword Coast's wild and untamed nature.

The ford features a sturdy stone bridge that arches over the rushing waters of the Winding Water, flanked by dense, shadowy forests. The surrounding hills are rugged and steep, with rocky outcrops providing hiding spots for lurking trolls.
