Eveningstar

North of the King's Forest lies a small farming village - a common stop for adventurers before the Drow began their vicious assault on the surface world.

Description
Eveningstar is a public area introduced in Update 14. It is the player hub in the Forgotten Realms, serving a similar purpose to Stormreach. The village of Eveningstar is located in the kingdom of the Cormyr, approximately 100 miles North of the capital city, Suzail, and the Lake of Dragons an is located near the northern edge of the King's Forest. The High Road, a major trading route in Northern Cormyr (running from the city of Arabel, in Eastern Cormyr, to the Western Storm Horns and the cities of Easting and Proskur beyond), crosses the Starwater river at Eveningstar and runs along the Northern side of the village. See the FR wiki entry for more details on Eveningstar in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting.

Getting to Eveningstar

 * The simplest way to access Eveningstar is to use a Hall of Heroes Passport, free to VIPs and all Iconic characters, and for purchase from the DDO Store
 * The Passport lets you use the Transport to Forgotten Realms button on the Character Selection screen to move your character to the Hall of Heroes in Eveningstar
 * The Passport can be used regardless of level and whether or not the Web of Chaos quest chain has been completed
 * If you are in-game, you must log out to get to the Character Select screen
 * Without the passport, to get from Stormreach to Eveningstar for the first time, characters must complete the free-to-play Web of Chaos quest chain
 * Start by speaking to Gatekeeper Grazla in the Harbor
 * n.b. the portal to Eveningstar is not visible to characters who are not on (or have not completed) this chain
 * Once you have completed the chain, whenever you need to go from Eberron to Eveningstar, you can walk to Eveningstar:
 * Go to the quest chain entry portal in the Harbor, across the walkway from the entry to The Waterworks
 * Choose Go to the Demonweb entrance (Menace to the Underdark expansion pack). This will tale you to the Spinner's Prison, a small, safe public area (created at the end of the previous quest chain) containing a portal between the worlds
 * Go forwards (N on the map) toward the dais where Tavnar Kronnak is standing with a pet wolf
 * Turn to the left (NW on the map) and up the web-bridge toward the purple portal to The Demonweb - The bridge is safe and you can't fall off!
 * Choose Travel to Eveningstar Cavern, which transports you to another small, safe public area
 * Go forwards (roughly SW on the map), up the stone ramp, and out the obvious cave mouth
 * You will find yourself just south of Eveningstar village.
 * After reaching 125 Purple Dragon Knights favor, you will receive a as a favor reward item
 * This item will allow you to teleport to the Main Square in Eveningstar, with a cooldown of 30 minutes
 * If you own the Mists of Ravenloft expansion, you can exit to Eveningstar (or House Jorasco), from the three small public areas within Barovia
 * If you are not an iconic character or have not yet run the Web of Chaos quest chain, you will be unable to exit to Eveningstar
