Sword Coast North

The Sword Coast is a region on the northwestern coast of Faerûn, and stretches from the city-state of Baldur's Gate in the south, along the coast of the Sea of Swords, to city-state Waterdeep, and from Waterdeep further north to Neverwinter, Port Llast, Luskan, and Icewind Dale, the arctic and northernmost region of the Sword Coast. Because of its quasi-lawless, "frontier" setting, being a place where all races can meet and interact.

As such, the metropolises of Waterdeep and Baldur's Gate are not to be counted as part of the Sword Coast, instead Baldur's Gate lies in the Western Heartlands, while Waterdeep is highly independent.
