Notes[]
- ↑ While text from The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier – Daggerford (p. 2) states that Daggerford is south of the Delimbiyr River, a distinction that is shown on several overview maps from Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast (p. 66), Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd edition, and Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide, this has been retconned in 5th edition. Scourge of the Sword Coast (p.9) has a city map that clearly shows the town as being north of the river. This map overlaps the previous city map provided in The North: Guide to the Savage Frontier. Additionally, the town's orientation is also shown in Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle (p. 141).
