Spine of the World

The Spine of the World is a formidable mountain range defining the northernmost reaches of the Sword Coast. Characterized by its sharp and jagged cliffs, this imposing geographic barrier marks the edge of the civilized frontier.

Threshold of Civilization

The mountains stand as a boundary between the settled regions of the south and the untamed wilds of the far north. The city of Neverwinter, fed by geothermal springs and situated along the northern coast, serves as the final bastion of civilized society before travelers encounter the harsh and perilous peaks of the Spine of the World.
