Everpine isn’t a capital. It isn’t a fortress. It isn’t the seat of any crown—yet it matters more than many places stamped on maps. Set in the cleft of the Greywatch Peaks, Everpine’s timber walls don’t just guard hearths; they guard neutrality itself.

This book is a full lore-and-play toolbox for running Everpine as a campaign home base or a pressure-cooker crossroads. The village sits on the Clearstream, a lifeline that divides the settlement and shapes daily life, trade, and conflict. It swells with travelers—caravans, refugees, mercenaries—because the road can’t bypass it.

You’ll get Everpine in usable, table-ready form:

The village identity and why it’s the quintessential border “starting hearth.”
Geography as story pressure: the valley, the forest, the peaks, and the road that brings wealth and trouble in equal measure.
Neighborhood structure you can actually run (Market Span / Mill Quarter / Hearthside Wards) so the place feels real in play.
Local myths that shape decisions, not just flavor: the Pine Oath, the First Winter Effigies, the White Wolf, and the Silent Taxman.
Politics that aren’t “court intrigue,” but survival politics: the Council of Seven split into Loyalists, Sympathizers, Pragmatists, and the Mayor holding the balance.
Faction pressure from Caltheris and Draco, with the Unwoven presence constantly weaponized as argument and fear.

If you want a setting book that makes a “small place” feel like the hinge of a much bigger war—this is that book. Everpine can be a safe hearth, a contested marketplace, or the moment neutrality finally snaps.
