Sword Coast
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 extended 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 takes its name from the white cliffs that rise 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.
