Just curious... Did I overlook Baldur's Gate?

Baldur's gate isn't listed specifically, it's subsumed into the rest of the Sword Coast.
... at least for humans and dwarves.

It's really difficult to tell where some regions are in respect to one another, but when I finish the player's guide to faerun and begin working on the main campaign setting book, I'll be able to start grouping regions together in broader campaign areas so it'll be easier to see, for example, if you're starting a game in baldur's gate, you'll know that your halfling character (as an example) can likely come from Amn instead of, say, the Western Heartlands.
