Sevenecho

EVENECHO is a small town, and exists only as a market for the well-dispersed farmers in the area and, because of the ponds and wells nearby, as a watering hold for caravan mounts. It is a small hamlet named for the family that runs the local inn, the Worried Wyvern, one of the finest inns in the Vast. The family patriarch and current proprietor of the inn is Belior Sevenecho.

The Sevenechoes are the most prominent of several local families that include the Scantchars, who are viewed with mild suspicion. Much of this stems from the fact that the family matriarch, an elderly and kind woman named Riliyyr, is an accomplished wizard.

Two local legends surround Sevenecho. The first is that a ghost appears regularly on one of the nearby ponds. The Drowned Lady is said to have been a traveller, who was slain by the local boy she flirted with and then spurned. The family of the local boy belonged to varies according to who is telling the tale.

Of a more profitable note for adventurers, a local legend says that in the last days of Tuir the Deep King, nine dwarves, each dwarf bearing a chest of gems, were overtaken by orcs. They buried the gems and then assaulted the orcish hordes, fighting to the death. Given the circumstances surrounding the destruction of the dwarven kingdom in the area, this legend may be true.
