This stretch of coast is dotted with villages and towns like any other part of Faerûn. The main difference in the Border kingdoms is that the people here are used to frequent changes in leadership, precipitated by powerful adventurers who decide to carve out a small kingdom and rule for a while. With a limited number of prime locations for bases, battles between would-be rulers are frequent. These changes make it difficult to record accurately anything about the current state of this region, although the commoners have an enduring and pragmatic attitude. Local towns such as Beldargan, Derlusk, Themasulter, Theymarsh and Yallash have populations of between one thousand and two thousand and survive by logging, mining, and fishing.
