A bedroll is a portable sleeping kit consisting of bedding and a blanket designed to be rolled, tied, and carried with ease. Used throughout Faerûn by travelers, soldiers, merchants, and adventurers, bedrolls provide comfort and insulation when sleeping outdoors, in stables, aboard ships, or in temporary camps. Their simple construction and practical utility make them one of the most common pieces of travel equipment in the Realms.
Bedrolls provide a portable sleeping surface and basic protection from cold ground and rough terrain. They are commonly carried by adventurers, caravan travelers, military forces, and explorers undertaking extended journeys away from permanent shelter.
