Greycloaks

The Greycloaks were an elven organization based in Evereska for at least 250 years, from the 13 to the late 15 centuries DR. They were likely associated with the Greycloak Hills, which encircled and protected the elven fortress home.

History
In the, the Greycloaks forged a magical broadsword; such heavy blades were a rare sight among the elves, so it was quite unusual. It came to be wielded by Erevain Blacksheaf, an elf adventurer who traveled to Icewind Dale and died there in the.

When the iron crisis afflicted the Sword Coast in the, the Greycloaks sent their agent Xan to investigate the situation.

Notable Members

 * Xan, a wizard and companion of Abdel Adrian.
 * Zenith Feur'sel, a cleric of the light domain who was slain by cultists of the Absolute.

Background
It is unclear who or what the Greycloaks are. They are only briefly mentioned in the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale games, where they are implied to be an organization based in Evereska. However, in the Realms, the Greycloaks are simply the hills around Evereska. Evereska has an outpost in the Greycloaks, named Greyhome, where the elves where grey cloaks, so it is possible the elves dwelling here are also called Greycloaks. The creation of Erevain's broad sword significantly predates the formal annexation of the Greycloak Hills in 1335 DR, however.
