Sword Coast

The Sword Coast, also nicknamed the Empty Lands,^[1] was the region in western Faerûn that lay along the coast of the Sea of Swords^[1] and extended inward into to the vale.^[8]

The Sword Coast was an expansive tract of wilderness,^[1] dotted with independent cities and overrun by bands of monstrous creatures,^[9][10] that some saw as merely a place through which you had to travel in order to reach an actual meaningful destination.^[1] It was much more than that of course, a rich and vibrant land with a long and storied history^[11] that encompassed some of the most important cities in all the Realms.^[1]

It was considered one of the rougher locales of Faerûn, both geographically and by virtue of its people.^[12]
