Alrighty, since the new FRPG seemed to omit several backgrounds and thier regional benefits in the new book I am proposing a thread were we can hammer out the missing bits for general use. At the minimum I'd like to see a regional benefit and a common knowledge entry, but the full blown entry is acceptable as well.

Multiple entries are permissible but ultimately the community will decide on the best entry (or perhaps the best bits of information to be used in a particular region).

-A thread exists on the mechanical part HERE. Use this section to "fill in" the common knowledge entries, and the other one to "fill in" the mechanical benefits. I'll link the other thread to this one, and you should also link this one to that one.

Evereska
Common Knowledge

Evereska, translated into Elven as 'Fortress Home', was founded thousands of years ago, in -8,600 DR, by survivors of Eiellûr, Miyeritar, and Orishaar, three ancient Elven realms. The city-state has existed in secret for thousands of years, sitting amidst the Shaeradim mountains, north of the Battle of Bones, on the western edges of the Anauroch Desert. Since the breaching of the Sharn Wall in 1,371 DR, and the subsequent siege, Evereska has slowly been nursing her wounds, gaining a new enemy: The Shadow Enclave.

Evermeet

Common Knowledge
The magical island of Evermeet was created long ago, though sages disagree about the date of it's genesis. Some claim it to be -24,000 DR, while others claim it to be -17,000 DR. In -9,800 DR, Aryvandaar spearheaded her colonization, funding expeditions to the island. Over the years, as Faerûn would change, Evermeet would stay an Elven refuge. Various 'Retreats' to Evermeet, by the Elves, have taken place over time, the last strong exodus taking place between 1,344 DR and 1,372 DR. During the Spellplague, the entire island was whisked to the Plane of Faerie, leaving in it's wake a dead "placeholder", marking where the island once stood majestically.
