The Serpent Hills were a vast area of rocky hills, east of the High Moor in the Western Heartlands of Faerûn.[1][3]
Geography[]
The peaks of the western Serpent Hills broaden out and eventually level out to become the High Moor.[1] They were bordered on the north, west, and south by the High Moor and on the north, east, and south by the Serpent's Tail stream.[4]
Geographical Features[]
Beneath the red-clay hills was a system called the Serpent Tunnels, partially consisting of tombs from around the time of Netheril's fall.[5] Even deeper beneath the hills, in a region of the Underdark, was the grimlock city of Reeshov.[6]
Notable Locations[]
- Dungeon of Swords, a well-protected crypt that was rumored to be associated with the noble House Thardresk of ancient Anauria.[3]
- Ss'tck'al, a yuan-ti settlement formed in the ruined tomb of a once-powerful diviner named Diderius.[7]
Inhabitants[]
As the name says, the hills were full of innumerable snakes. Many types of dragons lived in the hills, such as copper, red and silver dragons. Bands of yuan-ti were also known to live in the area.[1] By 1372 DR, the highest population belonged to ophidians.[8]
