Everdale

Summary

Everdale is the human capital city and the host of the annual King’s Tourney. Roads converge here toward a hill crowned by the Gleaming Keep, with the tournament grounds and King’s Tourney spreading through the valley below. Source: 2026.05.05.

Notable Features

  • Gleaming Keep: a keep built from stone supposedly transmuted into metal by King Aldrich’s mages. It sits on a cliff above the city and reflects the light, giving it its name. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • Empty Throne: the throne once held by King Aldrich. It has not been filled for centuries. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • King’s Tourney: a two-week annual tournament that brings Everdale to life and sustains much of the local economy. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • Stone Sanctum: an old moss-and-vine-covered cathedral in the hamlet above the tourney grounds, with an attached graveyard. Source: 2026.05.12.
  • Ragged Flagon: a makeshift tavern in the King’s Tourney campgrounds where nobles don’t typically frequent. Source: 2026.05.12.

Governance

Everdale is protected and administered by the Oathkeepers, an order formed from three knightly orders. They protect the keep, guard the Empty Throne, police the tournament, and help oversee the local economy and settlement. They believe King Aldrich will someday return. Source: 2026.05.05.

Noble Houses

  • House Godran: a wealthy noble house known for mana crystals, artifacts, arcane power, and a ruthless belief in the right to rule. Cassian recognized their white armor and banner at the tourney grounds. Source: 2026.05.05.
  • House Wulfhelm: one of the most powerful houses in the Crownlands. They won last year’s King’s Tourney and currently hold the title and deed to the Thornwood Vale. Source: 2026.05.05.

Party Visit

Jevon guided Odine Dunmere, Cassian, Aldrich, and Azrith into the city for the King’s Tourney, then disappeared into the crowd. The party registered for the Proving Grounds as Cassian’s Crushing Crusaders. They later discovered Jevon had been taken by House Godran soldiers and found him tied up in the Stone Sanctum graveyard. After rescuing him and defeating a possessed knight, the party learned that House Godran was interrogating Jevon about his teacher, a witch named Maralynn from the Thornwood Vale.
