The Vast was a region in north Faerûn that rested along the north coast of the Sea of Fallen Stars, bounded by the Dragon Reach in the west; the Earthspur Mountains, the Gray Forest, and Impiltur in the east; and the Moonsea and Damara in the north. Named for Vastar, the ancient orcish nation, it was yet a land of great open spaces and rolling farmlands, sparsely settled but far from empty. These were home to green and fertile fields and hunting grounds; long rivers such as the Fire River and River Vesper; old-growth forests like the Brynwood and Gray Forest that survived orc logging, as well as new-growth woodlands; and the great mountain ranges of the Earthspurs that girded it and the Earthfasts that ran through it to meet the sea at sheer cliffs.
