Sword Coast North

The Sword Coast North is a region on the northwestern coast of Faerûn. While it comprises a rough landscape of rugged hills, precarious mountain ranges, and dense forests, as well as the dangerous Mere of Dead Men and the enchanted Neverwinter Woods, it is also home to several like-minded towns and cities. The most prominent of these cities – Waterdeep, Neverwinter, and Luskan – have banded together with nearby allies to form the Lords' Alliance, which unites much of the region. The Trade Way road runs along the length of the coast from Luskan to far south of Waterdeep.
