Everlund

Everlund is a city of merchant traders and caravan teams is one of the greatest supporters of the league of the Silver Marches. Located southeast of Silverymoon and situated on the north bank of the Rauvin River, Everlund is the second largest city in the Silver Marches and one of its most active mercantile communities. The walled city traces its origins to a time before the ruin of previous civilizations. Since its humble beginnings as a fortified trading outpost and bridgehead on the Rauvin, the city's population and importance have increased to the where it has become one of the most important trading cities in the region.

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

Militia
The city is defended by the Army of the Vale.
