Sword Coast North
Realm
The Sword Coast North is the rugged north-western coast of Faerûn from the Spine of the World down to Waterdeep, home of the cities that formed the Lords' Alliance.
Cold sea wind sweeps over rugged hills and dark forests, and the cities of the coast keep watch over the wild lands between them.

Overview
The Sword Coast North runs from the Spine of the World in the north to Waterdeep in the south. It is a rough land of hills, mountain ranges and dense forests, yet home to several like-minded towns and cities.
The most prominent of them, with nearby allies, formed the Lords' Alliance, which held much of the region together into the late 15th century DR.
