Herons were generally found in habitats typical of water wading birds. These included marshes, swamps, lake verges, and along the banks of watercourses.[1]
In interior Faerûn, herons were quite common in the Farsea Marshes.[2] In the Unapproachable East, they could be found in the nation of Aglarond in the Tannath Gap.[4]

Some swamp-based rangers kept herons as animal companions.[5]

In the city of Ravens Bluff, herons were one of many birds that the Raven's Glory dining club would serve to its patrons.[6]
