Evereska

Evereska (pronounced: /ɛvɛrˈɛskɑː/ eh-ver-EH-ska[10], Elvish for "fortress home") was a fabled valley in the Western Heartlands, one of the last realms of the elves in the North.[1] Founded in secret in −8600 DR, Evereska became a haven for the remaining Fair Folk in Faerûn.
Description & GeographyEdit Evereska lay in a valley completely encircled by twelve hills collectively known as the Shaeradim, so it was not visible from the valley below.[12][13] The valley inside of these hills and west of Evereska was the West Cwm.[13]
The Shaeradim were sculpted into a large terraced garden, and inhabited by moon and sun elves. The houses were worked into the landscape and it was possible to float large items in the city. Blueleaf trees covered the valley and were sculpted by magic. Weather conditions and diseases were regulated by a magical mythal. Some elves spent their time in deep caverns to create new spells.[7]
Evereska itself was situated on a large stone pedestal that rose nearly a thousand feet from the grassland below. This was encircled by the Vine Vale, which was primarily agricultural land of vineyards and orchards.[14]

GovernmentEdit Hill EldersEdit Gervas Imesfor[15] Erlan Duirsar TradeEdit Because the hills around Evereska contained little in the way of ores, metals were imported into the city, in exchange for paintings, sculptures, crafted wooden items, and wine.[7]
Prominent trade families included Alaenree, Coudoarluth, Presrae, and Straeth (moon elves Elond, Immeril, and Naelgrath (gold elves and Shalandalan (sylvan elves).[16]
DefensesEdit The warriors defending the city were equipped with enchanted armor that allowed them to fly.[7]
Military DefensesEdit Swords of Evereska (Noble Army) Vale Guard (Internal Army) Long Watch (Exterior Army) Cold Hand (Elite Army of Duirsar) Tomb Guard (Charged with guarding the tombs in the Greycloak Hills)[8] HistoryEdit In Hammer, 1372 DR,[17] Evereska was attacked by freed phaerimms from Anauroch, damaging the mythal and causing further destruction. The Evereskans were able to repel the attack using magic. Afterward, a few phaerimm and elves who lost their wits in the battle wandered the Evereskan valley.[7] Almost all of the Tomb Guard were destroyed, along with many of the Vale Guard and more than half of the Swords of Evereska.[18]
After the second fall of Myth Drannor, many refugees came to Evereska but some of them were unhappy with Evereska's reclusiveness.[19]
SocietyEdit The damage to the mythal caused it to cloak Evereska in mist or fine rain and create unpredictable magical effects, and the gardens were not tended, so they became overgrown. Many bridges in the valley were broken. The phaerimm and elves still occasionally clashed. Houses were guarded by helmed horrors and shield guardians.[7]
The survivors of the battle with the phaerimm were all younger elves, and they protected their existence violently if they encountered a threat. They regarded looters as deserving of death. Some elves traveled from other parts of Faerûn to join the remaining Evereskan elves, and some removed the remaining treasures of Evereska, moving them to safer locations.[7]
