The Village Evershade

The village of Evershade once thrived on the shores of the Lake of Tears, sustained by its proximity to the Church of the Hollowed Saints. The villagers were devoted followers of the church, and many of them worked as caretakers of the holy site, tending to the church’s needs and supporting the pilgrims who came to seek solace in the lake’s sorrowful waters. While the village thrived, it never turned to opulence returning all resources to the village, church, and pilgrims that came to find peace.

As The Shattered Legion's influence spread, the amount of mourners grew exponentially, but the nature of their sorrow had changed. Turned darker, more violent, seeking vengeance--not peace.

Now the streets of Evershade are silent and overgrown, with crumbling houses and thick vines blocking out the sun. The air is heavy with the scent of decay, and the echoes of past lives linger in the shadows.

The Wandering Eye Tavern:¶

Once the center of the village, the Wandering Eye was a place of warmth, drink, and stories. Now, it stands as a rotting husk of itself—its wooden beams swollen with moisture, the hearth cold, and chairs collapsed in disuse. Yet the air here feels thicker, heavier, as if memory itself lingers like smoke. Sometimes, on the edge of hearing, the crack of a tankard or the lilt of a love song flickers through the silence.
