Gathen Everfall

Gathen Everfall was a beloved lord and knight who was known for his moral character, marriage Edda Everfall, and close friendship with Nasher Alagondar.

House Everfall was created by House Alagondar in thanks to Gathen Everfall after his victories alongside Nasher Alagondar in the Time of Troubles. Gathen was anointed a knight by the king himself and was named a member of the Neverwinter Nine.

Gathen met Edda Everfall in court when she was brought in to train with the wizards and oracles as a child and she saved his life with her prophecies many times. As she grew up, their mutual respect turned to love and Gathen asked for her hand. Being a true love match, a rarity at court, alongside their individual fame and wide age gap, their wedding was well attended and gossipped about, much to the pairs dismay. After their wedding, they retreated to their private estate in Blacklake District, a gift from Nasher Alagondar himself for their service and tried to stay out of the public eye.

In The Year of Blue Fire, 1385 The Spellplague struck and Gathen Everfall was brutally murdered by a mad mage as he fought to protect the castle. Edda Everfall and the High Oracle were spellscarred and the rest of the oracles in Neverwinter died. Early the next year, Edda Everfall gave birth to Gathen's only child, a daughter named Amafrey Silverton (née Everfall) and shortly after became High Oracle. 

His grandaughter, Vala Silverton replaced Edda Everfall as High Oracle when she died in 1449 and is said to have his eyes. 

Gathen was laid to rest in a mausoleum in Neverwinter's Main Graveyard. His beloved Edda Everfall visited him near daily for 64 years. When she died in 1449, his name was the last word she spoke and she was laid to rest beside him.
