<h3>At a Glance</h3>
<p>The Coaster Cities occupy the northern shore of <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2012/02/12/wizards-reach/" title="The Wizards’ Reach">the Wizards&#8217; Reach</a>.  As the name implies, they are independent city-states, though they sometimes form alliances for mutual defense.  The cities are still considered to be ten in number, though a few of them were recently ruined.</p>
<p>The cities are known by a number of names.</p>
<ul>
<li>Cities of the Coast</li>
<li>Cities of the North Coast</li>
<li>Coastal Cities</li>
<li>North Coast Cities</li>
</ul>
<p>The total population of the cities is 184,830.  626,957 live in the surrounding countryside, within a day&#8217;s ride of at least one of the cities, bringing the regional population to 811,787.  Laothkund and Escalant are the largest, each accounting for about a quarter of this number.  The Coaster Cities are not what anyone would call tourist attractions, so their populations remain fairly constant.</p>
<p>From west to east, the cities are</p>
