The Sword Coast North is comprised of a rough landscape of rugged hills, precarious mountain ranges and dense forests.
Geographical features
The
Mere of Dead Men is a prominented to the north, between next to the
Sword Mountains and near
Waterdeep. Prominent forests in the region include
Neverwinter Wood, home to elves and fey, and
Kryptgarden Forest, said to contain the ruins of a lost dwarven civilisation.
The region hosts two major mountainous regions, The
Sword Mountains and
The Crags. The Sword Mountains are home to several
dwarf,
gnome, goblinoid, and
orc settlements. The tallest peak of the Sword mountains is
Icespire Peak. The Crags would be a far less remarkable range, where it not for
Mount Hotenow, a volcano that lay dormant for years until 1474
DR when an eruption from the volcano devastated the nearby region, including the town of
Thundertree.
