Naighvelaugh (Elven Weald; Rhyl – North Pines)

Steel Realms

The Naighvelaugh Weald is an Elven Weald of the Steel Realms – typical Elven Weald with a normal Schan-Karr. The elves of this deep forest Naighvelaugh Wealdare the most primal and savage in The Grand Duchy of Rhyl. Their position deep in the Great Forest of Rhyl in the Klaurian controlled area of North Pines on the edge of the Giant’s Steps keeps them isolated, amplified by the ‘separatist’ Kalurians around them. They are not xenophobic, but the natural defense of terrain, boundaries, alliance, and militancy has given them a fierce edge and kept their Weald vital and powerful. When sending their representatives as part of the Realms Levy each year, they typically send about 100 of their warriors, and about 20% are the infamous Tree Vipers.

Governance of the Weald

Rulership/Governance: “Green Sleeves“: Inifri Greenspeaker is the office for the Weald who represents it to outsiders. {Integrity ***} – uses Elven Wealden Titles.

  • Administrative Center/Seat of Power: The sacred Grove of Amalafha is home to the council of elders. The Grove of Needlewind is home of the Green Sleeves and considered a ‘capital’ to outsiders on the east edge of the Weald – one of the only safe places for outsiders to sojourn to.

Population: Approx. 22,000 Wyld Elves
> Note: There is no official census provided.

Protector Spirit: Epona the HORSE – the senior followers are involved in both Defense and Faith of the community; The horse-mother ties them to the Klaurian folk they live next to.

+ Hartwood Presence: This location leans heavily to the Wyld Faith, and has the presence of both Rhylian Briarwood and Rhylian Beastwood.

Perspectives on Other Wealds

Other Wealds are too civilized and have lost their way – except the Har Cunathea! The Gaur Dinae elves near North Gate Garrison are corrupt and given to a melancholy similar to that of the forest elves of Ynth. They are not trusted. Half elves are accepted, but only as warriors – any other association is considered tainted by the ways of civilized humans.
