Everhold is a location in Octopath Traveler, where Primrose's final chapter takes place.

This mountainous city holds a great amphitheater, which once was the stronghold built by the aging King Beowulf in order to combat a red-eyed dragon.

Description

Everhold is a lonely city atop a lofty mountain, filled with blindingly bright red-brown dust and an air of unsettling dramaturgy. Crows caw in the background, lending the city an ominous air, while purple banners decorate the city. Everhold's townpeople are obsessed with drama and acting, each one playing a role in his or her daily life.

Story

Hundreds of years before the events of Octopath Traveler, Everhold was ruled the Ventus Dynasty. In 1492, 126 years before the events of Octopath Traveler, the dynasty fell into civil war because after the death of Ventus the Third. The younger son, Simeon (the son of the queen), battled for the throne against his illegitimate older half-brother (the son of the king's mistress). Simeon won the war, but went missing the same year, and the Ventus Dynasty collapsed into ruin.

In 1618, during the events of Octopath Traveler, Primrose’s Chapter 4 takes place in Everhold. Planning to kill Simeon as revenge for murdering her father 10 years before the events of Octopath Traveler, Primrose makes for the Everhold Amphitheatre. When she arrives, she finds Simeon presiding over a play mocking her life. Primrose makes for the balcony where Simeon is waiting, overcomes his manipulation, and kills him, thus concluding her mission.

Trivia

• The price to restore reputation in Everhold is 1,000 leaves.
• The Wandering Minstrel in Stonegard Valleys mentions an ancient ballad called "The Castle of Everhold," which revolves around the story of "death-dealing dragons and the desperate battle of a hero king." When the minstrel plays the song for the party, the track Battle II, from the Octopath Traveler Original Soundtrack, plays.
• Everhold's theater may be an homage to the famous Opera House in Final Fantasy VI.
• Everhold is one of two cities that harbor crows in the background, the other being Orewell. However, Orewell's crows are silent, whereas Everhold's caw continually, symbolizing Simeon's reign over the city.
• When was the stronghold built? Beowulf is described as “the aging king” when he built it. Assuming that Beowulf was an adult at the time of his marriage to Hildegard in 1401, i.e. around 18 years old , the construction of Everhold would take place somewhere between the 1430’s (50 years of age) and 1470’s (90 years). This is curious, considering that the Ventus dynasty ruled Everhold for three generations before the civil war of 1492.
