Overview
The Western Heartlands stretch from the Sword Coast in the west to the Storm Horns in the east, and from the Lizard Marsh and the High Moor in the north to the Lands of Intrigue of Amn, Tethyr and Calimshan in the south. Their name once meant the land of harts, for the many deer.
Between their miles of open country lie trading cities such as Scornubel, Iriaebor and Berdusk.
