Everlund
City in The Silver Marches
Everlund is a fortified trading city on the River Rauvin at the eastern edge of the High Forest, where the roads of the Silver Marches meet the trade routes to the south.
Barges and caravans meet beneath the walls by the river, the edge of the great forest looms dark to the west, and the market smells of fresh timber, horses and travel.

Overview
Everlund lies on the Rauvin downstream from Silverymoon, with the vast High Forest only a few miles to the west and the Nether Mountains on the horizon to the north-east. Its walls protect the warehouses and inns of a city that lives on trade: caravans gather here before the long journey south through the Evermoors and the Dessarin valley.
Everlund was founded in 515 DR by settlers from Ascalhorn as a fortified trading post on the Rauvin. It is less famous than Silverymoon, but it is a dependable, well-defended city and often the place where expeditions into the High Forest are outfitted.
In adventures
The High Forest on Everlund's doorstep hides ruined elven cities, treants and worse, which makes the city a good base for wilderness adventures in the Silver Marches.
