Daggerford, the central city, is a walled fortress.  It allows good races to enter freely, and is home to several guilds, including Delfen's mage tower, the Thieves' Guild, a fighter hall, and the Hokemj and Timion temples.  It is the oldest city in the Realms.  A major point of interest is the Lady Luck Tavern, where you can keep updated about news and quests in the upstairs board room (as well as grab a good beer).
