The sea is named for its numerous pirate attacks upon the shipping route extending from Waterdeep in the north, to Calimshan in the south. Piracy in the region is rampant despite the efforts of the navies of various Sword Coast ports and pirate hunters. Ships operating in the Sea of Swords often carry on trade between the ports of Luskan, Neverwinter, Waterdeep, Baldur’s Gate, Athkatla, Murann, Velen, Zazesspur, Myratma, Memnon, and Calimport.
