## **Regions**

### **East**

Most of the nations in this region bordered the eastern expanses of the Sea of Fallen Stars. Here the sea formed a long arm that travels to the east before turning south to become the Alamber Sea. The northern nations of this mysterious area were termed the Unapproachable East and the southern nations the Old Empires, and, for a time, the Empires of the Alamber Sea.

#### **Notable Locations**

* **Thay**: magocratic nation; home of the notorious Red Wizards.

### **Northwest**

A region of wilderness, difficult winter weather, orc hordes, and barbarian tribes, this region was generally referred to as "The North", which also contained most of the "Sword Coast North". It was a mostly untamed region that lay between the large Anauroch desert in the east and the expansive Sea of Swords in the west, north of the High Moor.

#### **Notable Locations**

* **Helm's Hold**: fortress just east of Neverwinter.
* **Neverwinter**: port city in the western part of the region; where the initial members of Plan B met.

* **Yartar**: fortified city on the east bank of the River Subrin; homeland of Wilnan.

### **North**

This region stretched from the wide Anauroch desert in the west to the eastern edge of the inland Moonsea, in the northern region of the continent.

### **Northeast**

This remote area began in the cold, forbidding lands along the great ice sheets and continued south toward the northeastern shores of the Sea of Fallen Stars, collectively known as the Cold Lands. It was bordered on the west by the mountain-hemmed land of Vaasa and stretched east to the vast steppes of the Hordelands.

#### **Notable Locations**

* **Rashemen**: magocratic nation in the northeastern region, bordering Thay; homeland of Skaus Dread Hymn and Siyanko.

### **Interior**

With the exception of the Shining Plains, these lands lay along the irregular coastline of the western Sea of Fallen Stars. In the north, the Dragonmere arm of the sea extended far to the west, ending close to the Western Heartlands. To the south, the Vilhon Reach formed a second arm leading to the southwest.

### **Southeast**

These lands lay to the south and east of the grassy plains known as the Shaar, along the shores of the Great Sea opposite the land of Zakhara.
