Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide is a regional sourcebook, by Wizards of the Coast, set in the Forgotten Realms using the Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition ruleset. It focuses on west and northwest Faerûn.[2]

WELCOME TO THE SWORD COAST

A region of the Forgotten Realms®, the Sword Coast comprises shining paragons of civilization, perilous locales fraught with evil, and, encompassing them all, a wilderness that offers an explorer both vast opportunity and great danger.

The Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide™ is a valuable resource for Dungeon Masters and players alike. In addition to describing the peoples and places of the Sword Coast, the book contains a plethora of new character options to intrigue and inspire every adventuring party.

For use with the fifth edition Player's Handbook®, Monster Manual®, and Dungeon Master's Guide®, this book provides the setting, story, and character options needed to participate in a D&D game anywhere along the Sword Coast of Faerûn.
