Tales of the Yawning Portal
Era of Upheaval - 1488 DR
In the northern hemisphere of the third planet from the Sun, Abeir-Toril, on the Northwest corner of the sub-continent Faerun lies The North Sword Coast. It is here between the Jewel of the North Waterdeep and the Spine of the World Mountains that our adventurers find themselves. In a world that stretches wide, wild regions of shining kingdoms and primal wilderness run between lands full of empires, large and small, and scattered city-states and villages struggling to make their way in a landscape that can be unforgiving wilderness one mile and cosmopolitan city the next.
Countless millions of humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and other sentient beings call Faerûn home. It is a land of magic and intrigue, cruel violence and divine compassion, where gods have ascended and died, and millennia of warfare and conquests have shaped dozens of unique cultures.
