Everlund

Everlund (formerly Besander's Blockhouse) was a city of merchant traders and caravan teams and was one of the greatest supporters of the league of the Silver Marches. Located southeast of Silverymoon and situated on the north bank of the River Rauvin, Everlund was the second largest city in the Silver Marches and one of its most active mercantile communities.

Government

For nearly five hundred years, Everlund has been ruled by the Council of Elders. This group was composed of the people holding the most prominent positions in the city, although there was occasional debate over whether some civic figures were important enough to merit a seat on the council. The council was led by the First Elder, an office granted by vote of the others. The First Elder held this position until another member challenged it; sometimes this post was held for many years, other times a few days.

Defences

The five gates of Everlund were open from dawn to dusk and shut at all other times. They were named Bridge Gate (south; the start of Evermoor Way), Downriver Gate (southwest), Mountain Gate (north), Silver Moon Gate (northwest; the start of the road to Silverymoon), and Upriver Gate (east; the start of the trail to Sundabar).

Infrastructure

The two bridges in Everlund were named Knightbridge (west) and Dwarfbridge (east), both of which crossed the River Rauvin.
  Temples and Shrines
Evergreen Hall was a temple of Mielikki located just outside the western wall on the north bank of the river.
The Grotto was an area devoted to Shiallia.
The Keep of Vigilance was a temple of Helm near the Upriver Gate.
The Starmeadow was an area devoted to Corellon Larethian.
Also located in Everlund were shrines to Oghma, Shaundakul (popular with the caravan masters), and Waukeen.

Guilds and Factions

Moongleam Tower was the Harper base in Everlund. It was located along the northern wall. The Arcane Brotherhood was also known to have a presence in Everlund.
  Other small, local groups included:
The Black Buckler: A loose-knit cadre of rogues and warriors that had a reputation of being absolutely loyal to the person who hired them.
Sarthun's Shield: A small band of aging human adventurers that added pomp to parades, weddings, and funerals, did light bodyguard duty, or expanded the ranks of a merchant's staff to help make an impression.
Tathtard's Rose: A cabal of merchants working in the Silver Marches strictly for the purpose of enriching themselves. Methods included price fixing, creating shortages of certain goods, sharing insider information, and spying.

History

The walled city was resettled by humans from Ascalhorn on the site of Besander's Blockhouse in 515 DR. Since its humble beginnings as a fortified trading outpost and bridgehead on the Rauvin, the city's population and importance increased so that it became one of the most important trading cities in the region.
