The Fields of the Dead

Purpose / Function

The Fields of the Dead are the rolling hills east of Baldur's Gate between the Winding Water and the River Chionthar on the Sword Coast.

History

Around the mid–9th century DR, before the founding of Amn, this land was a favored battleground for control of the lands north of Calimshan.
Centuries after the fighting, by the mid–14th century DR, bones still litter the field and cairns of the dead were everywhere. Now used for farming and ranching, plows occasionally turn up skeletons in rusting armor, weapons, and other detritus.
