Northeast Faerûn, referred to in large part as the Demonlands, comprising large portions of the Cold Lands and Unapproachable East, was a remote area of the continent of Faerûn. It began in the cold, forbidding lands along the great ice sheets and continued south toward the northeastern shores of the Sea of Fallen Stars. It was bordered on the west by the mountain-hemmed land of Vaasa and stretched east to the vast steppes of the Hordelands.
