My Sword Coast

the Sword Coast is an expansive tract of wilderness, dotted with independent cities and overrun by bands of monstrous creatures, that some saw as merely a place through which you had to travel in order to reach an actual meaningful destination. It is much more than that of course, a rich and vibrant land with a long and storied history that encompasses 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.[12]
