Sword Mountains
Type: Mountain range Region: Sword Coast hinterland — west / southwest of the Kryptgarden Forest; their foothills form the rocky cliffside above the Mere of Deadmen First Reference: Session 017
What the Party Knows
- The foothills of the Sword Mountains form the rocky terrain the party has been operating in throughout sessions 011–017 — the cliffs above the Mere of Deadmen where Nathaniel made his last stand and where Marrow-Gnaw's tunnels were dug, plus Queen Bargnot's lair beneath them.
- A cut-through between two ridges connects the foothills to the rolling plains that border the Kryptgarden Forest (and ultimately the Dessarin Valley / Westbridge beyond).
- Silver mines associated with Leilon are dug into the same range — confirmed in session 020 when the bug-attack at the silver mine demands a return trip.
