Geography
Edit
The Evermoors were bound by the River Surbrin and the Lower Rauvin Vale to the north, the River Surbrin and the Surbrin Hills to the west and the Silverwood to the east. To the south and east was open land and the High Forest. The river Laughingflow originated deep within the Evermoors and met the River Surbrin after it passed though the Surbrin Hills. Evermoor Way, the major route from Yartar to Everlund, passed between the Evermoor and the High Forest.
History
Edit
This region had been known for its troll population, however recent history (Present Age) is changing the face of the Evermoors. Humans in general have not bothered to tame this land, being good only for grazing of sheep or rothé and prospecting, both of which the trolls usually stopped. Around 1372 DR, giants came from the north and began pushing the trolls out of the Evermoors, much to the distress of surrounding countryside.
Notable locations
Edit
Both of these tors were visible at a distance on the Evermoors and were used by the inhabitants to guide themselves around the trackless moors:
- The Old Man
- Located in the western area (almost south of Nesme) of the Evermoors this large tor looked like an old man's face
- Startop
- Located in the north-eastern area of the Evermoors this large tor was starshaped.
Notable inhabitants
Edit
- Gerti Orelsdottr
- A frost giant princess and daughter of Orel the Greyhand.
