Northern Faerun

I am looking for an additional player to continue a campaign that is currently focused in Luskan, located in the far north of Faerun. The party in now close to the Dwarven mining town of Mirabar. If you are interested in joining the game, you may apply in the listing below. The party consists currently of a Dwarven Paladin, Battlerager, Half-elf Rogue, Half-elf Wildmage, and an Aasimar Warlock/Sorcerer. You will be starting at level 7. Please reapply if your post is older than 2 weeks.

This territory encompasses all the lands between the Kingdom of Amn in the south and the City of Waterdeep in the north on the western coast of Faerûn. Although the lands to the north of that are not traditionally called the Sword Coast (often referred to just as “The North”), the adventures extend into that part of the land. Let’s call it all the Sword Coast!

It’s a savage land. There are no great kingdoms of humankind in this region. Instead, settlements are city-states or organised into loose confederations. Much of the land is wilderness, inhabited by monsters: orcs, goblinoids, trolls and worse. Settlements that exist need to fight off raiding parties, although the bigger settlements boast too good defenses (walls, men and magic) to be bothered that often.

Despite the dangers, trade routes cross the land. The main route, running most of the length of the coast from Waterdeep southwards to Calimport on the south coast, is known as the Trade Way, while other routes lead inland to the central kingdoms of Cormyr and Sembia. Trading caravans typically gather several merchants together and hire a large number of guards, but smaller wagons occasionally try to get by quickly and unobserved, sometimes with disastrous results.
