Evermeet

Evermeet, sometimes known as the Green Isle, is the final resting place for all non-drow elves on Faerûn. As of 1368 DR it is under the reign of Amlaruil Moonflower, a moon elf and a widow of Zaor Moonflower, a moonblade wielder who was killed by a sun elf. She rules from its capital city of Leuthilspar, and is home to many prominent elven houses, including the Durothils. Evermeet is seen as the last true kingdom of the elves, which very few non-elves have ever been permitted to visit.

Geography
The north of the island is made up of rugged terrain with steep headlands and covered in dark pine forest.

Notable towns include Leuthilspar (the capital), Taltempla, Elion, Ruith, Nimlith, and Drelagara. On an island off the east coast stands Sumbrar, a large fortress that stands guard against invaders.

History
Many have tried to invade the island over the years, including the Red Wizards, the Zhentarim, the drow and various pirates of the Sword Coast and the Trackless Sea.

In 1371 DR an invasion force led by Kymil Nimesin made it past the island defences and finally brought war to the elven retreat. Kymil Nimesin with help from Lloth successfully arranged for the Ityak-Ortheel a creature of Malar to be brought to the island. Lloth was also responsible for rendering all elfgates inoperable by linking them all to a single entity in a gem held by Kymil Nimesin thereby preventing notables like Laeral Silverhand and Khelben Arunsun from rendering aid.

In 1374 DR the Island Kingdom was assaulted by Daemonfey. These demonic elves, who were imprisoned as a means of punishment for consorting with demons, raided Tower Reilloch, a tower of mages in Evermeet. They sought a piece of a legendary artifact that, when made whole, had the power to release the imprisoned army of the Daemonfey. While doing so they planted a lore gem containing information that no Daemonfey could access, in an attempt to trick the elves into unlocking it and handing them the information. Evermeet unofficially sent an army to Faerûn under the command of Lord Seiveril Miritar, a priest of Corellon Larethian, to assist the elves of Evereska and the High Forest in their fight against the Daemonfey. After successfully repelling the daemonfey in Evereska, Seiveril's army pursued their foe to Cormanthyr.

Current Government
The moon elf Queen Amlaruil Moonflower is the current ruler of the monarchical government of Evermeet and is advised by her High Council, a body of rotating members appointed by the Elven Throne.

While tradition decrees the High Council serves at the pleasure of the Elven Throne and the current reigning monarch, the members appointed to the council are just as traditionally powerful in their own right, and their opinions do not always coincide with that of the reigning king or queen.

The High Council currently consists of her personal scribe, Zaltarish, a moon elf and loyal retainer of the Moonflower household, Keryth Blackhelm, also a moon elf and the High Marshal of Evermeet’s armies, Emardin Elsydar, a sun elf and the High Admiral of Evermeet’s naval forces, Jerreda Starcloak, a wood elf and the representative for the forest-dwelling elves of Evermeet, Selsharra Durothil, a sun elf, and matron of the powerful Durothil clan, Grand Mage Breithel Olithir, a sun elf, and Grand Mage of Evermeet, the wealthy moon elf merchant Lady Meraera Silden, the Speaker of Leuthilspar, and Lady Amisyll Veldann, a sun elf and the governor of the southwestern city of Nimlith.

Lord Seiveril Miritar (a sun elf, titular head of the Miritar clan, the ruler of the northern city of Elion, and a high-ranking priest of Corellon Larethian) also served at the pleasure of the Elven Throne, but resigned his position on the High Council in order to lead the Return (which he later referred to personally as the Crusade).
