Talk:Sword Coast North

We need to mak the distinction that there's in effect 2 different Sword Coast areas, there's the bit north of Waterdeep (Sword Coast North), and the bit strething from the other side of waterdeep and down towards amn. So we likely need to sort out which links should go to which page Zerak-Tul 08:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

PC games vs Canon
We need to point out that much of the lore on the page (principally the stuff on Illefarn) is based on the Neverwinter Nights PC games and that they diverge significantly from canon, especially regarding that realm's history. BlackAce 16:23, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Except, of course, that the games are canon (see Phil Athans and WOTC's most recent statement on the subject).Niirfa-sa 02:37, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Restructure
As part of the "Cleanup of the North" project I have going, I would like to add and subtract some locations from this article and its categories. This is not comprehensive, just the glaring changes I feel should be made.


 * Adding:
 * Goldenfields


 * Removing:
 * Delimbiyr Vale: Technically a part of the Savage Frontier.
 * Dessarin Valley: Not at all near the coast.

While its important to mention Icewind Dale and the Sea of Moving Ice, I don't know if they should be categorized under the Sword Coast North as they are a part of the Frozenfar. I think for clarity, the larger regions should be seperated but would like to hear other opinions.

Thank you for listening! Ruf (talk) 17:24, February 20, 2020 (UTC)


 * Can you please give reasons behind these proposed changes?


 * Additions and Removals: Goldenfields is part of the Sword Coast North, I agree. It is located within the Dessarin Valley, but you say the valley is not at all near the coast? Surely some of it must be. The Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition, page 176 says: The Lords' Alliance, a loose league of like-minded rulers led by Waterdeep, allies the good cities and small settlements of the Dessarin valley in this region (i.e., the Sword Coast North). I agree with your classification of Delimbiyr Vale, and it matches what is said in source material.


 * Frozenfar talk: As discussed and stated in sourcebooks, places in the Frozenfar can also be part of the Sword Coast North (such as Mirabar). Finally, the Sword Coast North is a region, not a term for settlements on the coast. As such, both Icewind Dale and the Sea of Moving Ice are certainly part of the Sword Coast North, and this is explicitly stated in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition, page 176. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 17:47, February 20, 2020 (UTC)


 * Ehh you're right. Ruf (talk) 18:10, February 20, 2020 (UTC)
