I haven't seen it mentioned in any excerpts or in Swordmage, do we know what has happened to it? Has it gone the way of Atlantis? I keep seeing Myth Drannor mentioned as a main elven community, but not Evermeet?

Thanks

Richard Baker, said Evermeet still exists. For more than that, we will have to wait.

-Wel'll find out in a few weeks. If it is indeed changing, expect it to become more "Eladrinnny". Maybe it'll be one of those "in-flux" places between the Plane of Faerie and the Prime Material Plane, now.

-For more information about Evermeet, in general, see Elves of Faerûn.

Last I heard, it was still there, but some big changes were made.

What, exactly, that means, is anyone's guess.

I'm betting that its just getting tied closer to the Feywild, now that Gold and Silver Elves are Eladrin.

I'd love to see the explanantion of that retcon, but I really doubt there will be one.

with all the changes i'm reading about it's most likely changed with all it's canon history.

I think this is why we had The Return... so that all the Elven eggs wouldn't be in one basket when the rampaging metallic dragon trod on it.

-It's a distinct possibility that there will be retcons.

-Well, now we know what happened to Evermeet:

During the Spellplague, the island was shunted to the Plane of Faerie. In it's place, on the Prime Material Plane, sits and island devoid of life. The soldiers and Dragons on the island of Sumbrar were killed, and the Starwing Fleet destroyed.

But Evermeet still exists, as a whole, on the Plane of Faerie just not on Toril.

I've always thought that the Elves, instead of creating a whole freakin' island just for themselves (and in turn blowing up the rest of the planet) should have just gone back to Faerie.

And yet no Amlaruil. I think I would probably contest that "whole", Meldread.

After all, a body can look physically undamaged from the outside even if the heart is missing.

-I never said it didn't exist.

-Indeed. What were the circumstances? I didn't see the post that revealed that, and I only found out when Rin told me on the phone.

Evermeet never interested me.

It could have sunk beneath the waves for all I cared. ;)

The only way I would have cared about that place was if EV managed to take it over and convince the Elves to use their massive army to invade Faerun. (In which case, I would have cheered them on. :P)

I really want to know what happened to Eldreth Veluuthra, though. I held out hope that they'd take over Myth Drannor and the returning Dark Elves (former Drow) would join them. Together they'd scheme and make war against those pesky annoying human beasts and take back Elven lands that they stole from them.

The Eldreth Veluuthra are now based out of the Hullack forest, as per Brian James' Cormyr article.

Strangely, I'm sad to see Evermeet go...

It's like losing one's arch-nemesis.

-The Eldreth Veluuthra has been getting a lot of "coverage" as of late. While that's not exactly what you were hoping for, it's something.

-Admit it: You know you loved it.

I did.

I was a big fan of the whole 'Retreat' thing, and Evermeet was an integral part of that.

Sadly, this looks less and less like the Realms we knew everday. Fortunately I plan a 3e/4e blend for me next home game.
