Everhall

The metropolis of Everhall is the southernmost major city in the world of Keranos, located on the continent of Tauron in and around the lake Grimshall. The city is split into 2 parts, the mainland and the island of Ele. The mainland contains most of the city proper, aswell as the citys markets and farms. The island of Ele however houses most of the Everhallian military industry, storage and personel. The island and the mainland are connected by the grand bridge between the Everhall towers.

## History

### Early history

The founders of Everhall can trace their origin back to the jungle Akruzians, who fought against the first people's of modern day Khanae. As the Akruzians we're driven away by the Nardan's, the tride of Kanguleih fled across the vast seas, and settled near the Mombasan Mesas for half a millenia, where they lived in harmony with the goverment for a while.

### Early modern history

During the riddenheim war, Mombasa conscripted some of these tribes men, and sent them to the warzone as warriors, having provided them with outdated gear, and with poor information on the politics and geography of the battlegrounds. During the early stages of the battle, the Kanguleih tribe suffered heavy casualties due to accidental friendly fire from (Idk what Vals character was at the time), and retreated to the outskirts of the battlefields to watch how the battle would play out. After the soldiers returned from the battle, the tribe was outraged at the clear carelessness of the Mombasan leader, who had endangered their people with foolishness and poor planning. In the aftermath of the battle, the tribe gathered their belongings, and headed south west, aiming to find a new home to settle, away from the troubles of war.

### Modern history

The city of Everhall was founded on a naturally advantageous island in lake Grimshall by members of the Kanguleih tribe. The city soon started international diplomatic relations, and due to excellent diplomacy by a Nardan goverment official, an alliance and eventual joining of the Nardan and Everhallian claims was accomplished. With new found military and political backing, Everhall soon began to expand outwards from the lake, and to take over the new continent. As the Darkfallian takeover was happening in the mainland of the then Nardan empire, Everhall was peaceful as normal. Once the news reached the colony, opinions of the people we're split, but with the reassurations of the Lady of Everhall, and the much beloved Varas The Second, the people's worries we're set aside.

### Dark crusades

During the dark crusades, Everhall was the second largest town in Darkfall in wealth and size, only behind Khanae. This led to large parts of the necessary war supplies, and most prominently elite soldiers being recruited from Everhall for the conflict. Gradually during the war, more and more of the fairly small Everhallian population were recruited for the war effort, becoming a very elite but extremely small force. During the Dark Crusades, and later on during the UVF Everhallian military personel amounted to 40% and 60% of the entire military.

After the disappearance of the Lady of Everhall, and the collapse of the UVF the town retained a similar state. The military was never disbanded due to new international threats, which led to stagnation of the towns population and economy. This would lead to many international powers and media outlets talking of Everhall as a less developed town.

### **The return of The Lady of Everhall**

After the return of The Lady of Everhall from her still unknown place of disappearance, the town has experienced a new boom, with new economic policies, the build up of the town aswell as large projects across the continent.
