The Savage Frontier is a 88-page accessory for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition released in September 1988..
Official synopsis[]
North of Waterdeep, the land is cold, vast, and forbidding. The Trackless Sea stretches northward for what seems like forever, interrupted only by the occasional island and, eventually, the ice. On land, towns and villages flourish right up to the Spine of the World Mountains. It takes a special kind of person to live up here, a determined person used to hardship, a survivor—one with a great love for life and a great respect for the forces, both natural and unnatural, that can end it. The Savage Frontier is now fully detailed for your roleplaying campaign. The cultures, personalities, economies, cities, towns, and wilderness are described for an AD&D campaign of any size or level. From the barbarian tribes of the far north to the Luskan pirates of the Trackless Sea, the Savage Frontier is an exciting land where adventure can be found anywhere. And, of course, its all part of the best-selling Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, home of many other AD&D modules, sourcebooks, and even novels!
