I have created the baseline for my first campaign and I wish for it to fit within Faerun, which i dont know so well. Can anyone help me suggest some areas or countries that would fit? I dont mind changing Faerun up a bit (creating countries i.e.) but it would be nice to have some maps and lore to support the story on. And to make the area they visit more alive. And yes, I have studied the map but I think more knowledge would help.
I will try to make this short but with the most important information:
There are two twin princes that are greedy and want to conquer the neighboring country when they inherit the throne. They divice a plan on how to create an enemy that is targeting their own country to make sure they have a reason to build up a strong military force and to recruite strong adventures. One twin inherits the throne and the other twin leaves the country never to be seen again but secretly corrupts a nearby society of [insert something here. I was thinking some elfs or druids or something. Could be drow too? Or just a small city?]. He has information about how they can summon monsters to create their own army to harass the other twin and his country.
So the heroes are one group of adventures that gets cought up in this fake war and they build their characters. Just as the twins intended. But as they do this they also slowly uncover the twins plot and needs to stop them. It eventually leads to a war between these two countries and the heroes need to change their allegiance to this neighboring country and help them fight the twins who are the big bad end guy, but now with a full military force and loads of summond monsters. I would prefer this neighboring country to be a very good and easy-to-like place.
I hope this was understandable, yet not too long
I have alot more to the story, but if anyone has ideas or suggestions for the story as well I would love to hear it.
Any time an unfathomably powerful entity sweeps in and offers godlike rewards in return for just a few teensy favors, it’s a scam. Unless it’s me. I’d never lie to you, reader dearest.
I would look into the Border Kingdoms. There is a lot of turnover in that area and this story seems plausible there. Ed Greenwood just released a booklet on this area not too long ago on DMs Guild, too!

This story could easily be adapted to yours
http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/War_of_the_Twins
And there plenty of places if you wanna keep your world consistent from campaign to campaign.

You could try the kingdom of Cormyr, where there is a lot of political intrigue and a powerful standing military force. Elminster could get involved.
If you want to try something more exotic, then you could make the twins into dragon princes of Murghom, where dragons rule.

I'd consider looking at Tethyr
