The Council of Elders was the government of the city of Everlund in the Silver Marches. It was a council of individuals in prominent positions charged with running the city. It was led by the First Elder, who was able to hold the position until challenged by another member.[1]
History[]
In the late 1480s or early 1490s, the Council of Elders voted 3-2 in favor of withdrawing Everlund from the Lords' Alliance. Public belief about the reasons for this decision varied, but many believed that it was either a show of support for Sundabar and its treatment during the War of the Silver Marches or an attempt by the Zoar family to gain influence in the city.[2]
