A Note on the Timeline

This wiki was created before the events of the second campaign. Much has changed in the Evenfall over the two-hundred years which have elapsed since this time. Feel free to use this wiki as a resource to build your character backgrounds, but please note that some information may be dated. I will be working diligently to update the wiki to the current timeline. Your feedback and assistance goes a long way to helping improve the wiki and world.

Welcome to the Evenfall

Once a great elven kingdom, the realm now known as the Evenfall is but a shadowy reminder of a long lost splendor. The realm is the last known bastion of civilization amid an endless sea of savagery and ruin. Years ago, the realm was ravaged by a conflict known as the War of Three Dragons which nearly ended civilized life once and for all if it weren't for the deeds of three brave heroes. Although the day may have been saved, the realm is far from at peace.

Most of the common races live in or near cities for protection; however, many villages, hamlets, and small towns are scattered throughout the frontier (many of which are uncharted). With little exception, commoners spend their entire lives without traveling more than a few miles away from their birthplace. Adventurers are rare and exceptional.

Over a third of its population of the realm died in the War of Three Dragons, and it has taken centuries to recover. Much of the land previously occupied and defended by the cities has been lost or abandoned since the conflict. Venturing beyond city walls is not for the timid of heart. Monsters and bandits roam the highways, preying on the weak and stupid, and ruins litter the countryside, reminding travelers of long lost glory.

Nobles and politicians typically stay within their respective cities, squabbling over their kingdom's limited resources and territory. Standing armies are nonexistent in the Evenfall. The cost of feeding, supplying, and housing an army is far beyond the economic means of any city, making war between cities in unlikely. However, each city does possess its own internal defense force or city guard.

Progress has been slow; however, pockets of light do exist—bringing hope for a better tomorrow.

Wiki Rules

Welcome to the Evenfall Wiki. I hope you find this resource helpful and fun. Feel free to collaborate as much or as little as you would like. I welcome all input but reserve the right to make amends as I see fit to maintain consistency within the world.

As you can see in the various entries, the cultures and regional facts have been largely defined. However, the areas where I would really appreciate help include: Noteworthy Citizens (regional NPCs), Organizations, Points of Interest, and Adventures & Plots. You can find each of these sections by selecting from the information below. I have done my best to avoid the use of copyrighted or plagiarized materials, names, or ideas (with the exception of art). I would appreciate it if you cite intellectual property as necessary.

Thank you for your interest in the Evenfall Campaign Setting.
