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.

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.

Because of its quasi-lawless, "frontier" setting, being a place where all races can meet and interact, it has been the setting for many Dungeons & Dragons modules (especially those subtitled with the Savage Frontier name), as well as the computer games Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, Gateway to the Savage Frontier and Treasures of the Savage Frontier and Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast is the title of an expansion disc for the Baldur's Gate game.
