In the middle of Baradin Bay, the Duchy of Evenfall is an isle within the Kingdom of Gilneas, north of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras. A fertile land with mountain ranges on the western, northern, and eastern sides, nestled with a massive white pine forest in between, the isle has barely been explored and populated.

## People and Culture

Evenfall is the diamond of Pinefall Isle. While in disarray for years, the rebuilding has vitalized those who survived on the isle and reinvigorated the various refugees from Theramore, Teldrassil, and Southshore. Mostly new families and new adults searching for their place in the world, the villages draw those with little options or wealth and are hand-selected by the governing entities of Evenfall. Most of the inhabitants are human, but the port city houses high elves, dwarves, blood elves, goblins, and others sworn to uphold neutrality while inhabiting the isle. Law is strictly enforced within the inhabited areas of the isle with a stockade at the center of Evenfall.

### Religious Beliefs

The population of Evenfall primarily worships in the Church of the Holy Light, although the original inhabitants worship more druidistic in nature. Under the most recent migration to the city, followers of shamanism have emerged.

## Climate and Geography

The climate of the isle mirrors the common climates of Gilneas, Hillsbrad Foothills, and Kul Tiras. The port city of Evenfall sits on rocky ledges with little vegetation until outside of the city limits. To the north of the city, villages sit on lush green lands prime for farming, making the isle self sufficiently ran. Mountainous reaches to the west, east, and far north show signs of snowy peaks, surrounded by a massive mostly white pine forest.

## Economy & Resources

The Duchy is primarily self sufficient with fishing and farming the main resource. The isle is filled with white pine and will eventually be logged for use on the isle itself and then exported. The Sundance Trading Company holds their headquarters in Evenfall, consisting of a fleet of trading ships used to purchase merchandise and distribute across the Eastern Kingdoms. Rumors of gold deposits on the isle run rampant, but no current mines are known.

## Political Structure

### The Duke

The Duke of Evenfall is the lead government in the Duchy of Pinefall. Although once a Gilnean land, the isle has pledged allegiance to the Kingdom of Stormwind, under House Wrynn.

### The Warden

With the fall of Teldrassil, The Duke of Evenfall arranged to have refugees immigrate from all over Teldrassil, Darkshore, and Ashenvale. The Warden leads this group, co-leading the people with the Duke.

## History

### Founding

Established more than one thousand two hundred years ago, around the time Arathor built the citadel of Tol Barad, House Plenneth was established as the nobility upon an isle in Baradin Bay.

### Second War

Pinefall Isle and the port city of Evenfall were raided by the Orcish Horde and forest trolls, forcing the Plenneth family and refugees to the Gilnean mainland. Those left behind were presumed dead.

### Fall of Gilneas

Roughly three years after the fall of the Greymane Wall, a trading company discovered the almost uninhabited island and started rebuilding the city of Evenfall, making it their main port of operation. Filled with sailors and refugees from war-torn cities and countries, Evenfall and the surrounding villages began to thrive as fisherman under the direction of the Sundance Trading Company's leadership, a half elf captain and his bride.

### Present Day

Now with a thriving trading post with fishing and farming villages, Pinefall Isle is once again governed by a member of the Gilnean Plenneth family. Their aim? Restore the isle to its former glory with a little help from some friends while defending the original inhabitants that managed to survive in the villages, working in tandem with the Sundance Trading Company.

## Settlements
