Sword Coast - Moore
1491 DR
The Sword Coast, not to be confused with the Sword Coast North, is the region in western Faerûn that lay along the coast of the Sea of Swords and extends inward into to the vale. It is bordered by the Delimbiyr Vale in the North, and to the south by the merchant nation of Amn. Some say the Sword Coast took its name from the white cliffs that rose up sharply for hundreds of miles along the coastline between the River Dessarin and Baldur's Gate. Traveling author Volothamp Geddarm attributed the region's name to its dangerous inhabitants, both humanoid and bestial.
