At the center of Faerun is the heartland, a region of fertile farmland and rolling hills. To the west lies the Sword Coast, a long and narrow strip of coastline that stretches from the northern to the southern ends of the continent.
The Sword Coast is home to several major cities, including Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, and Neverwinter. The Moonshae Isles, a group of volcanic islands located off the western coast, are also part of Faerun.
