[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 7051944, member: 6801060"] If you want to have a lot of information so you can have lots of questhooks, then you still may want to take a look at SKT. The entirety of Chapter 3, some 50+ pages, simply goes over just about every settlement in the Sword Coast region, gives a brief description, and provides some plot hooks. Granted, some of these are thematically giant-related, but a lot of them aren't. Even the settlements in Chapter 2, which are set up to have major giant encounters (one of which is Triboar), could easily have that component stripped out and could be used simply as detailed settlements with a large number of plot hooks provided (each provides 6 fairly substantial side quests after the main action that could be used even if the main giant attack is taken out). And if you're not wanting giants all the time, but still want a good giant one-shot adventure, the five giant settlements can easily be inserted into any campaign with minimal fuss. Similarly, if you want your campaign to visit the Underdark of the region, you might want to look into OotA, as it has detailed descriptions of the major settlements and geography of the region, with plot hooks galore (in the case of Graklstugh, maybe [i]too[/i] many plot hooks!)
