The Summer Queen’s Tower (North Gate Garrison)
Posted on January 16, 2026 in Steel-Realms
The Summer Queen’s Tower (sometimes called “Chirisin’s Tower”, after Queen Chirisin Emsworth) is a high thin tower behind used for observation over the wall to try and see over the fog that obscures the other side of it. The Summer Queen’s Tower is about 120 feet behind The Autumn Wall, between Orgins Tower and the fortification of Bellring Gatehouse. Its exterior is beaten and damaged from siege engine attacks by the undead. It is circular and built to deflect siege engine attacks.
It soars 40 feet higher than the upper edge of the wall, coming to a thin point from which lookouts can see over the wall and over the fog, looking down on Rhylian Gap/Autumn’s End beyond the wall. It is a marvel of Dwarven engineering, with help from their Ducateon cousins. It mounts a lens (polished by elven finesmiths from the Wealds of Rhyl) from which light can be shone for a great distance, or it can magnify what is is turned towards. It is manned by the magi capable of sending messages to commanders across the length of the wall using occult powers.

Rhyl Formative Events
CY 7007 The area of North Gate Garrison freed & The Red March created; Money, supplies, armaments, and manpower flow into the north to fight the Lich Lords.
CY 6514 The Grand Duchy of Rhyl is created by the High King. In exchange for the resources and organization that can be brought to bear against the now organized undead armies, the lands become part of the High King's domain.

CY 5580 Fall of Dundaria in the North - Frostfang spreads, the Lich Lord power rises. Hordes of the undead, fortunately disorganized (at first), sweep south and west from the heart of old Dundaria.
CY 2330's Fall of East / Rise of the Dark Lands (Orrishai Abandoned); Refugees flee - some cross the Tolkisson Mountain Range into the 'Lands of Rhylan' that would become the Kingdoms of old Rhylan and finally.

Common Knowledge / Easy Difficulty
For those native to or long-dwelling in the region, ALL Common Knowledge may be Pervasive.
The tower was created in CY 7412. It does not have the same regenerative properties as The Autumn Wall itself.
Uncommon Knowledge / Average Difficulty
Its inhabitants are often attacked by swarms of zombie bats, trying to poison or inflict disease on those who man it, or to obscure the vision of the lens. Other more powerful things have assaulted it, but mostly it is common minions that do. It has never been damaged, though the lens has been a few times over its lifespan.

Muncaster Family of (ancient) Rhyl
Posted on January 14, 2026 in Steel-Realms
The Muncaster Family of Rhyl is one of the ancient Old Families of Rhylan. They have been around since the time of the Kingdoms of old Rhylan, which consolidated into a single kingdom before CY 7000. The lineage is ancient and considered a minor but prestigious bloodline. They have purposefully remained out of the political machinations of the other high houses. The Muncaster Family of Rhyl have a strong presence in the Lodge Tradition in Rhyl, and contribute a majority to the upkeep of Tea Lodge of Rhylan – maintaining its own secured room there still.
Unique Peerage Title
Established Rulership of the Old Rhylan Kingdoms Lineages are titled as “The honorable Grand Vicount/Countess” through the The Rhylander Compromise.
Mingled Bloodlines of Lower Houses
The family has spent thousands of years marrying into the dozen or so minor noble families considered lesser houses that have shared resource management through the The Rhylander Compromise. This gives them a unique position of being well informed. Combine this with their high support for the Lodge Tradition in Rhyl makes them possibly the most well informed sources of information in the entire duchy (probably used to keep the notice of the other houses away from them!).
