Silverstream

Nestled beneath the gentle slopes of the Southern Hills, Silverstream is a city renowned for its vibrant culture and unwavering devotion to Eilistraee, the Goddess of Beauty, Song, Dance, Freedom, Moonlight, Swordwork, and Hunting. Founded by a band of artists, musicians, and freedom fighters fleeing the cruel rule of Lolth, the goddess of the evil Dark Elves and the Queen of Spiders as well as the Queen of the Demonweb Pits, Silverstream has blossomed into a haven for those who cherish liberty and the arts. This city is a center for artistic expression, boasting renowned schools of dance, music, and theater.    Its streets are adorned with vibrant murals and sculptures, reflecting the beauty and grace of Eilistraee. Championing equality and individual freedom, Silverstream welcomes all races and backgrounds. Due to Eilistraee's domain, the citizens of Silverstream are skilled warriors, renowned for their prowess in hunting, archery, and swordsmanship. The city possesses a network of secret tunnels and passages, remnants of the time when they needed to remain hidden from their enemies. These passages connect Silverstream to several important locations, including the Elven city of Kyalnor, the friendly Gnome city of Bailymena, and the hostile Xerith Hegemony city of Knightgrave, providing vital trade routes, avenues for escape, and a means to gather intelligence.    Life in Silverstream is a vibrant tapestry of art, music, and freedom, with festivals and celebrations frequent occurrences. The city is known for its welcoming atmosphere, where artists and adventurers can find refuge and support. However, the threat of the Xerith Hegemony is ever-present, and the citizens of Silverstream remain vigilant, ever ready to defend their freedom.
