   The Sword Coast is a part of west Faerûn. The biggest city in the Sword Coast is Baldur's Gate.

   For years, the lands between Waterdeep, a huge city far north of Baldur's Gate; bustling Amn to the south; the Sea of Swords to the West; and the Wood of Sharp Teeth to the East have been thought of as the Empty Lands - a vast, stretch of wilderness folk venture into only to get from one place to another. Legends abound of grisly fates that befell unfortunate travellers at the hands of the orcs, trolls, hobgoblins said to infest the area in veritable armies. In recent times the caravans have begun to see a new menace - raiding parties of humanoids who plunder mainly the miners in the Cloud Peak mountains north of Amn. Thanks to both human and bestial predators, the trip has always been dangerous - hence the name sword coast. The area is littered with the ruins of failed dreams - abandoned villages, empty towers and dungeons - as well as the occasional town, city or keep, such as Baldur's Gate, Beregost, Nashkel, the Friendly Arm Inn, and Candlekeep. Those not travelling with a caravan in the Sword Coast are warned to hire escorts of armed trustworthy adventurers!

    Keys: Devils, Devil

    Devils are Lawful Evil inhabitants of the Nine Hells.

    Devils are bitter enemies of the Chaotic Evil demons and wage a seemingly endless war against each other. The devil's army is well organized and disciplined, but demons have the numeric superiority.

Therefore human souls are the main currency in the devil's society. Corrupted souls are tortured to wring out magical energy from the them. Once every single drop is wrung out, the soul is reborn as a lemure, a new member of infernal society.

    Keys: Karlach · Secondary: Zariel

    Karlach is a possible Companion. Karlach is found in The Risen Road, past the Blighted Village. She is a Zariel Tiefling Barbarian. Karlach was a mighty warrior and champion of Zariel that fought for the archdevil in the Blood War on Avernus during the late 15th century DR.

    “I was a prisoner, forced to fight in the Blood War—the eternal battle between bad and worse. Most souls in Avernus are just meat for the grinder. But not me.” — Karlach.

    Personality: An energetic and joyful presence, Karlach had a great passion for life, appreciating it all the more after escaping the Hells. She deeply enjoyed simple, physical pleasures such as food, sex, and the thrill of battle. Karlach seemed to feel emotions strongly, sometimes descending into fits of screaming rage, wailing sorrow, or giggling joy, depending on the circumstances. As such, she had difficulty concealing her feelings, usually coming across as extremely earnest, almost awkwardly so. Still, Karlach was a courageous warrior and fiercely fought for what she believed was right.

    Abilities: Karlach was an exceptional martial combatant. Due to her time in Avernus, she seemed to possess an encyclopedic knowledge of fiends and how to fight them.
