The Western Kingdoms

The Westerlands is a rugged continent far west of Faerûn, where ancient forests, windswept coasts, rolling hills, and snow-covered mountains make up a harsh, but fertile, landscape. For more than two centuries, the realm has been ruled by House Smithe, whose conquest forged the scattered kingdoms and lordships into a single empire.

Magic is seldom found in the land except in those who wield it, like the college mages of the Grey Tower or the druids of the Folklands. Wild and magical creatures are far and few between, though their presence suggests that the Westerlands were once a deeply magical place. What drained the magic from this land? Scholars have yet to piece together more than rumors and myth...

The fate of the Westerlands have long been held in the hands of mortals. Their ambitions, their fears, and their desires control the fate of this land for better or for worse.
