Ilyndria Frostshine, Aelf Kingdom of the Steel Realms

Steel Realms

Ilyndria is an ancient Elven kingdom in the north. They are isolationist and not expansionist, and neutral in terms of any political maneuvering not directly affecting them. They do send warriors to fight the lich lords at Northgate Garrison – as a group and they never integrate for the years each group is on the wall. They also have roaming patrols to hunt prowl packs – but almost no one sees them and they avoid all other contact.

Located on Ustermaya in the far north Hinterlands of the Steel Realms.

Hidden Land: It is mentioned in myths and tales as “llyndriata Blue“; A rumored kingdom filled with powerful ancient beings that flew on strange wings, gold flowed in the rivers, and fathomless power was said to exist for the taking. countless expeditions have sought it – either to not return or to never find any evidence. The Ilyndrian Aelves have purposefully created a Broken Road, to prevent access to and from Aelfpaths of the Steel Realms to their lands. Because of this, they are safe, but unable to side step like their normal Faerie kin.

They trade through a single place on their southern border, near North Drift, especially seeking out bananas, which are a delicacy to them when used in making their wine and beer. Here they present themselves as their wyld elf kin, limiting their exposure to humans through intermediaries and disguise. They have allied themselves with the folk of Kalascor and their own water Elven cousins in the north against Gwinnish aggression in the past. Very little is known about them. Very little is written in commonly accessible chronicles.
