Does anyone know where I can find some canon on the Kryptgarden (area north of Waterdeep in the Sword Mts, pg 128 of the FRPG.)? |

That was Neverwinter Wood. Dungeon #28. |

The new D&D Adventurers League is going to include an adventure set in Kryptgarden. Here's the blurb:
DDEP1 Corruption in Kryptgarden
Designer: Teos Abadia
Characters of Level 1-4
Playtime: 3 hours
Kryptgarden Forest has long been a place feared by travelers. Now, the Cult of the Dragon has used that fear to its advantage, securing a stronghold deep in the forest. The Harpers, Order of the Gauntlet, Emerald Enclave, Lords’ Alliance, and the Zhentarim are recruiting groups of adventurers to infiltrate the forest to find out the cult’s purpose. Join hundreds of others in this interactive play experience. Available only at Gen Con Indy, PAX Prime, Dragon*Con, and Fan Expo Canada.
The website for Adventurers League is here: http://dndadventurersleague.org/tyranny-of-dragons-premier-adventures/

Thanks Krash. I had a nagging suspicion that I'd forgotten a particular reference.

Sage has in his standard efficient manner provided you with reference to all of the published 'canon' sources on the Kryptgarden - save one.
There is a long-ago Dragon article on vampires in the Realms which gives details and stats on the hill giant vampire that lairs in those woods. Someone will be along directly to give you the exact citation.
Other than that, you've been referred to all of the existing published realmslore on that location.

Damo is indeed correct. She was(is) perfect Dock Ward material. Now of course that's she's nobility....I think the priestesses of Siamorphe have their work cut out....I think we're planning to do a Mere of Den Men Campaign next year and she's going to be one of the PCs... |

That sounds like the last Bachelor Party I went to.  |

Okay, usually I'm pretty good at slang, especially from across the pond since I have a few British friends. But you've truly stumped me here. What is chaviest? |

My rogue (the fattest chaviest thief in Waterdeep) ended up becoming "Lady Min of Kryptgarden" as a result of said Deck she found in the Castle ruins.

Anciently the forest was known as Tsordvudd, according to Dwarves Deep. It was the western border of Besilmer.
Wave Echo cave in the Swordkrypt Mountains is said by Volo to be a lair of monsters now, its location lost to drwarves and gnomes.
