Realm
The Ride is a cold steppe of north Faerûn between the Dragonspine Mountains, the Border Forest and Thar, home of the mounted Eraka tribes.
Cold plains roll toward the mountains, and riders appear on the horizon long before you hear them.

Overview
The Ride lies between the Dragonspine Mountains, the Border Forest and the Gray Land of Thar. In the 14th century DR, Melvaunt and Zhentil Keep controlled rich mines in the mountains north of it; in the 15th, the Warlock Knights of Vaasa tried to win over its tribes to claim its wealth.
