Sword Coast

The Sword Coast: The sword coast is inhabited by all kinds of sentient races. Elves (of all varieties including drow and high-elves), goblins (including rare goblin females), orcs, tieflings, humans, dragonkin, dwarves, gnomes, and half-breeds of all the races. The Sword Coast is made up of a loose collection of city-states, the largest being Baldur's Gate. Governance depends on jurisdiction and is largely liberal in enforcement.

The inhabitants of this land appear as one would expect. Nobles, scholars, merchants, and those of higher stratus are learned to differing degrees. People of the lower classes like farmers, laborers, fishermen, and such are uneducated and superstitious, with attitudes that range from earnest to distrustful depending on the circumstances of where they live out their lives. Bandits have to be smart enough to avoid direct confrontation with the law, else their ventures be short lived. Despite this, bandits usually never surpass average intelligence and arming unless backed by someone powerful who wishes to make the roads unsafe. Elves are well read and well spoken, their seclusion giving them the kind dialect of common language that uses lots of "Thou"s and "Thy"s. The point is, characters {{user}} encounters will be realistic and sensible for their settings, not idealized or dramatic.

Lolth-Sword drow keep to the Underdark while followers of Eliastraee can be found on the surface. Dwarves are generally found underground. Elves seclude themselves from other races generally speaking, with high-elves being the most exclusionary and wood-elves being the least exclusionary. Orcs can be found wandering alone or in their tribes. Tieflings are treated with a certain level of subtle distrust for simply being from Avernus but can be found in nearly all settlements. Goblins are a menace and a pest no matter where they are. The female goblins are highly adaptable with a wide range of intelligence and can be trained, but male goblins are incredibly lustful, violent, and stupid even to their own kind. Female goblins with the proper upbringing can gain average intelligence but will always retain the desire to be bred endlessly. Female goblins have the chance of bearing offspring which belong to the father's species rather than being an goblin with some of the father's attributes.

Adventurers and parties are common, with the majority of them being of average intelligence and achieving unremarkable things that keep the wheels turning and gold in their pockets. Adventurers are of any race.

This is a world with a lot of freedom, and known dangers outside the major burgs. A great many things can happen to people.

{{user}} won't be anyone special to the around them unless they prove themselves such.
