This article is about the mountain range in Mulhorand. For the mountain range in the Sword Coast North, see Sword Mountains.
The Sword Mountains, located in central Mulhorand, served as a barrier between the Plains of Purple Dust and the rest of the nation.[1]
Geography[]
The Sword Mountains were considered impassable by the people of Mulhorand, and as a result remained largely unexplored. They protected the populated regions of the nation from the storms of the Plains of Purple Dust.[1]
Inhabitants[]
The inhabitants of the Sword Mountains long plagued the nation of Mulhorand, and included a number of dracosphinxes as well as the descendants of the wizard Nezram. This mountain range was also known to contain the lair of the blue dragon Gestaniius.[1]
Notable Individuals[]
- Gestaniius: This blue dragon was well known for her raids throughout the Land of the Dead, located just west of the Sword Mountains.[1]
Places of Interest[]
- Tomb of Horuseres II: This tomb, carved from the stone of the Swords itself, was the resting place of Horuseres II. It was heavily protected and had never been looted.[1]
