I have been running a elven campaign for awhile now and have noticed that there is no updated statistics of certain elven cities on the mainland faerun like myth drannor, Auseriel, evereska (after the return of the archwizards trilogy), and the city of hope from the blackstaff book. So i was wondering what peoples take on the statistics of these place would be like rulers, armed forces, important people, etc. Also I have noticed that all of these said elven cities plus evermeet has no banner or coat of arms that they fly and was wondering if the elves use them or just have each unit in their armed forces use their clan coat of arms, and if each city does have one what would it be. Any ideas to these questions would be much appreciated and please excuse the poor grammar thank you!

There was a book on Evermeet (Elves of Evermeet) in AD&D which will surely detail all that there is to know about the island. Dunno about Evereska. These are essentially to only two real Elven cities that there were so far, with regards to being detailed and all. Myth Drannor fell hundreds of years ago and you can get information on that in Cormanthyr - Empire of Elves* as well as The Fall of Myth Drannor* and The Ruins of Myth Drannor. That is all AD&D background knowledge, but you may very well create your own stuff from that. The Return of the Archwizards novel series had quite a bit of info on Evereska, but nothing in any great detail. Lost Empires of Faerūn - AFAIK - simply retold stories of the aforementioned books but with none of the details you are after.
A new city has been (re-)created recently in the High Moor, a former city of the Dark/Wild Elven realm of Miyeritar, but not much info on that has been given so far.
*See here: (Cormanthyr is a must for anyone interested in the FR elves)

| There's a little bit of stuff to be gleaned in the prologue of Swordmage about the current social and political climate of Myth Drannor. |
My Realms novel, Sandstorm, is now available for ordering. |

So their 'trick' of only feeding us lore through the novels is working, eh? 
Must be nice to write your own ticket like that.... |

the last mythal trilogy has some troop types and numbers. They are mostly mentioned in the portion of the series where they utilize a portal to move from Evermeet to Fearun proper. |

Spells stilled, scribes:
If any of you are interest, I should be turning
in to Alaundo in the next week or two my game
notes in Myth Drannor, which will include
citations from the supplements I have (CEOE,
RoMD,FoMD,Dragon 359), Last Mythal books, other odds
and ends, and my own materials. I have no idea when
he will make it available, but you will at least get
some of the historical data from past works.
He also has some of the maps I made for buildings
in Myth Drannor.
