Crags

The Crags, also referred to as the Crag Mountains, were a series of hills and broken mounds found on the Sword Coast North region of the North.

Geography
They were situated south of Mirabar, and north of Neverwinter.

Geographical Features
The landscape of the Crags was desolate and its terrain was quite harsh. There were however several pools of meltwater found among its upper reaches.

Long-abandoned pit traps still remained in the clefts between the peaks of the Crags.

A network of caverns could be found within the depths of the Crags. One of these caverns housed a two-way portal connecting to the Kyorlamshin temple of Lolth within the Underdark.

History
In the past many mines were located in this area. The mines are dead and worked out and now home to various creatures.

As of the early 9 century DR, the Crags marked the eastern border of Stornanter, the Realm of the Witch-Queen of the North.

In the, the Knights of the Sword Coast became stuck in a mountain pass in the Crags when they were ambushed by hill giants. Fortunately the adventurer Arkiem Arren happened to be wandering nearby and came to their aid.
