Locations of the Sword Coast

Neverwinter, Jewel of the North

One of the largest cities on the Sword Coast, bustling with trade up and down the High Road. Almost destroyed 38 years ago when the nearby volcano erupted, and since rebuilt by its current ruler Dagult Neverember. Currently struggling for a national identity- there are those who still wish to be annexed by Waterdeep to the south.

Leilon

A small mining community and military outpost halfway between Neverwinter and Waterdeep. Lord Pelindar Filmarya and his Lancers usually patrol the High Road between the Mere of Dead Men and the Kryptgarden Forest.

Waterdeep

The 'Crown of the North' and 'The City of Splendors' is very often the de facto capitol of the Sword Coast. A hub of trade activity--both by sea and by land--it has maintained its prominance for centuries alongside Neverwinter and Baldur's Gate. Waterdeep is famously ruled by a counsel of nobles; one Open Lord of Waterdeep and an unknown number of Masker Lords. Before his abdicating in order to claim Neverwinter, Dagult Neverember was the Open Lord of Waterdeep. These days it struggles with a trade rivalry with Baldur's Gate, who weathered the Spellplague a good deal better than Waterdeep itself did.

Phandilin

A small mining and farming community just north of the Sword Mountains, Phandalin has a patched history. Centuries ago it was the site of the famous Phandelver Pact--an agreement between men and dwarves to share the rich mine, Wave Echo Cave--and would have prospered into a proper city had not an orc invasion occurred. Thereafter, Wave Echo Cave was lost. Phandalin has been resettled twice since, and each time calamity--another orc invasion, and a raiding party of Uthgardt barbarians--has seen it ruined. These days it subsists with a small but dedicated community of farmers and miners.

Conyberry

The ruins of a small town near the Silver Marches. Was sacked 17 years ago by Uthgardt barbarians and never resettled. Home to the Oracle-Banshee Agatha.
