The Fields of the Dead
Plains in The Western Heartlands
The Fields of the Dead are rolling hills east of Baldur's Gate between the Winding Water and the Chionthar, an old battleground still littered with bones and cairns.
Grass waves over low hills where bones still turn up under the plough, and cairns mark the fallen of forgotten wars.

Overview
The Fields of the Dead lie between the Winding Water and the River Chionthar, east of Baldur's Gate. Around the 9th century DR, before Amn existed, they were a favoured battleground for control of the lands north of Calimshan, and two kings of Tethyr are buried here.
Centuries later, bones still littered the fields and cairns stood everywhere. Boareskyr Bridge, Triel and Soubar lie in or beside them.
