Sword Coast Legends

Sword Coast Legends is a role-playing video game developed by n-Space, in collaboration with Digital Extremes, and was released worldwide on October 20, 2015 for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux, with PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions coming out in 2016. The game is set within the universe of Forgotten Realms, a campaign setting of Dungeons & Dragons.

Gameplay

The game is a role-playing video game set within the Dungeons & Dragons universe. It features typical races and classes of the Forgotten Realms setting. The game is set in the fictional Sword Coast region of super continent Faerûn on planet Toril. Graphics are in 3D with an "isometric" viewpoint. It resembles older Dungeons & Dragons games such as the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights series. One major addition to the game is that it allows players to be a "dungeon master" (or DM). Thus, the game will resemble the tabletop version of Dungeons & Dragons. It features single-player and co-operative muliplayer modes. The game is available on several platforms including Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It was released in 2015. The game was directed by Dan Tudge, the president of N-Space and the director of the critically acclaimed Dragon Age: Origins.Inon Zur, who previously led the music development of Dragon Age: Origins and Fallout 3, composed, produced, and conducted all the music for the game. The music was performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

List of regions in Faerûn

This is a list of fictional regions, geographical features, and other locations on the continent of Faerûn from the Forgotten Realms setting. These locations have appeared in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting for the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the multiple series of novels set in the Forgotten Realms, or the numerous video games set in the Forgotten Realms, or any combination thereof.

There are separate lists for cities and nations of the Forgotten Realms setting.

A

Anauroch

Anauroch, also called The Great Sand Sea, is a magical desert on the continent of Faerûn.

The desert is a remnant of the once-powerful Netheril Empire. It is now inhabited by the Bedines, magically transported there from Zakhara, the vicious asabi, the dreaded phaerimms and, since very recently, by the archwizards of Shade.

Elminster has said of Anauroch that "It is not a natural desert, and it is not all hot sands." In fact it is three deserts. The hot, dry desert of sand dunes which most folk imagine all Anauroch to be like is known as "the Sword" and actually makes up only roughly the southern third of the region. North of that lies a region of wind-scoured bare rock, called "the Plain of Standing Stones" despite very little of it being flat plain. The most northerly region is a vast sheet of ice overlying bedrock and marked with many rifts named "the High Ice."

Dungeon Master

In the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) role-playing game, the Dungeon Master (often abbreviated as DM) is the game organizer and participant in charge of creating the details and challenges of a given adventure, while maintaining a realistic continuity of events. In effect, the Dungeon Master controls all aspects of the game, except for the actions of the player characters (PCs), and describes to the players what they see and hear.

The title was invented for the TSR Dungeons & Dragons RPG, and was introduced in the second supplement to the game rules (Blackmoor). To avoid infringement of TSR's trademarks, and to describe referees in role-playing genres other than sword and sorcery, other gaming companies use more generic, terms, like Game Master, Game Operations Director, Judge, Referee or Storyteller, with some using more esoteric titles related to the genre or style of the game, such as Keeper of Arcane Lore, or even completely surreal titles such as Hollyhock God.

Also, in Faiths and Pantheons, the Faerunian Overgod Ao answers to a superior entity, insinuated to be the "Dungeon Master".
