Everglen

Everglen is a forest village famed for its unbreakable pottery and moss-roof cottages clustered around a willow-shaded common, where kiln smoke blends with pine resin scents; artisans, woodcutters, and quiet mages live beside the river, trading fragile wonders and forest lore with travelers and itinerant merchants who prize the village's lively markets and secret glades.
