Talk:Sword Coast

North and South
Folks, I'm not sure splitting the Sword Coast into two parts is strictly necessary. The political boundary map for the geography section is based on the Regional Feats list in the 3rd Edition Campaign Setting Book. That book carves up the Sword Coast into three map regions purely for the purpose of assigning feats.

But truly, the entire coast of Faerun between The Spine of the World mountains and the Calim Peninsula,(ie. The legnth of the Sea of Swords) is technically just 'The Sword Coast.' BlackAce 16:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The articles are seperate, because that's how the regions are represented in the 3rd E.D FRCS (p. 176, among others) as "[...] the Sword Coast North is dominated by Waterdeep at its southernmost end." -Zerak talk 20:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I hate to bring up a dead horse but it seems to me that the distinction between the Sword Coast and Sword Coast North is vague at best. Waterdeep and Neverwinter share as many similarities as do Neverwinter and Luskan or Waterdeep and Baldur's Gate and it seems to me that Sword Coast North is simply a subdivision of the Sword Coast as a whole. I suggest merging the articles, with notations explaining the sub-region of the Sword Coast North. But most sources make little distinction between the Sword Coast north of Waterdeep and the Sword Coast south of it. Niirfa-sa 02:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
