Evermeet

Evermeet, sometimes known as the Green Isle, was the final destination for all non-drow Tel'Quessir (meaning elves) from Faerûn. As of 1368 DR was 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 ruled from its capital city of Leuthilspar, home to many prominent Tel'Quessir houses. Evermeet was seen as the last true kingdom of the Tel'Quessir, which very few non-elves have ever been permitted to visit.

As of 1479 DR, the settlements of Evermeet resided primarily in the Feywild, the inhabited cities having all but disappeared from the Prime Material Plane. Queen Amlaruil Moonflower was gone, and a Royal Council ruled in her place. However, the natural landscape of the island itself remains on the Prime, albeit uninhabited and with strong ties to its fey counterpart.

It did sometimes act as a crossover between the Feywild and Faerûn and could only be accessed by those who knew the secret route.

Monarchy
During the late 14 century DR, Evermeet was becoming a matriarchal society. Queen Amlaruil Moonflower, the Sad Queen, ruled as monarch and depended on her Council of Matrons for advice. Although the queen had male advisers as well, none of them formed part of her court.

The Queen's High Council on the other hand included some prominent males. It consisted of:
 * Zaltarish: The queen's personal scribe
 * High Admiral Emardin Elsydar: Taster of Evermeet's navy
 * High Marshal Keryth Blackhelm
 * Lady Selsharra Durothil: Matron of House Durothil
 * Lady Ammisyll Veldann: Governor of the city of Nimlith
 * Grand Mage Breithel Olithir: Head of Evermeet's mages

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 were just as traditionally powerful in their own right, and their opinions did not always coincide with that of the reigning king or queen.

Royal Council
As of 1479 DR, after the tumultuous events of the Spellplague, Queen Amlaruil was gone and her reign replaced with the governance of her high council, renamed the Royal Council. They were set to rule until a suitable heir could be found.

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

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 defenses 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 Tel'Quessir, 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 Tel'Quessir 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 Tel'Quessir 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.

In 1385 DR, when the Spellplague struck and ravaged across Faerûn, contact was lost with Evermeet. All of the permanent portals ceased functioning and efforts by the other fey kingdoms on Faerûn to reestablish contact have failed, and it is largely thought that Evermeet was destroyed. What is little known is that Evermeet was in fact transported into the Feywild and persists there. Only an echo of the physical island, without any structures or inhabitants, now remains on Toril.

Many warlocks had forgotten the power which could be evoked by speaking the names of the gossamer spirits of Evermeet, but many warlocks are beginning to relearn the powers of Evermeet, and some, mainly those of the Fey Pact, are becoming Evermeet Warlocks. Evermeet grant these warlocks enhanced powers of teleportation and debilitation of their enemies.
