AT A GLANCE: These hills are high, rolling
ridges of earth covered by weedy
grasses and occasional patches of small
trees.

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: The Greycloaks
are a small group of high, isolated hills,
north of Evereska, and are considered
an outpost of that elven homeland, settled
less than thirty years ago by a contingent
of elves and half-elves.

The normal grey garb of these elvish
settlers is what has given the hills their
current name. They were previously
referred to as the Tomb Hills, for the
region held (and still contains) the final
resting places of long-dead warriorkings,
and was (but is no longer) haunted
by banshees. Adventuring companies up
to a few decades ago made forays into
the area to loot these old tombs, but with
the current settlement of elves under
The Evereska Charter, such activities
have ceased (or at least become more
discreet).

The elves and half-elves of the Greycloaks
are of silver blood, though there
are a few wild (copper) elves among
then. They are friendly with the group
known as the Harpers, but wary of the
Zhentarim and their allies, and extended
patrols from Darkhold have been
spotted in the area.
The elves of the Greycloak Hills are
said to make musical instruments for
trade with men, though they work quietly
through certain merchants in the
town of Hill?s Edge to the south. The settlement
is said to be ruled by an elven
Lord (7th level fighter/11th level magicuser)
named Erlan Duirsar, who is said
by the women of Hill?s Edge to be both
very tall and handsome.

The reason for the Greycloak settlement
is unknown, and puzzling consid-

ering the general withdrawal of the
Elven Peoples from the Realms. Only
the ruling elves know the full reasons,
but it has surmised that there is something
in the Greycloaks that the elves of Evereska
wish not to fall into the hands of others.
