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.

Government
The island is a matriarchal society and as of 1368 DR is ruled by Queen Amlaruil Moonflower, the Sad Queen, and her Council of Matrons. Although the queen has male advisers, none form part of her court. She is strongly associated with Evermeet itself.

Evermeet's government is a monarchy ruled by Queen Amlaruil Moonflower, together with her High Council, currently consisting of the Queen's personal scribe Zaltarish, High Admiral Emardin Elsydar, master of Evermeet's navy, and High Marshal Keryth Blackhelm, all three moon elves. The council also includes Lady Selsharra Durothil, Matron of House Durothil and Lady Ammisyll Veldann, governor of the southern city of Nimlith, both of whom are considered vocal anti-monarchists, and both of whom are sun elves, as well as Grand Mage Breithel Olithir, also a sun elf and the head of Evermeet's mages.
