Shaeradim

The Shaeradim, also referred in part as the High Shaeradim, was the name given of the twelve hills that surrounded the elven settlement of Evereska.

"There is a pass (through the Shaeradim), but it is watched and warded. You'll have to wear blindfolds and bindings, or none of us will reach Evereska alive."

- Galaeron Nihmedu to his captive Melegaunt Tanthul.

Description
The hills stood nearly high for much of its length and were surrounded for  by lesser hills and narrow vales. They were considered largely impassable for those unknowledgeable about how to navigate within.

There was a pass that wound through the hills known to the elves of Evereska. Any outsider brough along this path by the elves had to be blindfolded along their journey.

Geography
Notable peaks within the Shaeradim included mountain Ilaerothil, meaning "the Sentinel", and Eastpeak, each located northwest and southeast of Evereska respectively.

Geographical Features
There was a large valley within the hills, west of Evereska called the West Cwm.

History
The depths beneath the Shaeradim became a critical point of interest to many in the Heartlands of Faerûn in the. In Nightal that year, the Sharn Wall beneath the Shaeradim was breached and the phaerimm trapped behind were let loose. By the end of the month, the elves estimated that 200 of the monstrosities took up residence within the hills.

Following that breach in safety, the Shaeradim suddenly became shielded from magical teleportation, preventing outsiders from gaining immediatly entry within. Interestingly enough, this act was taken by the elves of Evermeet as a safeguard to protect their fellow kin in Evereska.
