Steel Realms
Seagrass Valley is a place in the Riverdans of Pelmon where the grass is blue, said to be from blue dragon blood.

When first seeing Seagrass Valley, it is startling. A large basin amidst tall hills, its floor is covered in tall bright blue grass that moves like ocean waves in the wind.

Trail Doves (messengers of Dunstrand)

Posted on March 19, 2024 in Steel-Realms

Steel Realms

The Trail Doves are a proper chartered business within the Institutions of Dunstrand. They are a messenger service. They can deliver anywhere there is a rookery of House Malor or Trail Dove rookery. They encourage the use of the public education system – The Linscaeld in Dunstrand, and Waurstweigs within the Riverdans. The communications not for House Malor use white doves – it is known that intercepting these is done at peril. The Trail Doves operate both avian and human messengers – the human messengers are dressed in pure white cloaks and breeches – another sign they are to be accosted at your peril. The partnership with House Malor is known to invoke a clause of support for them to track down those that interfere with the messengers, regardless of species.

Old Tradition: The Trail Doves are an associated business of House Malor in Dunstrand. They breed the pigeons and doves used for messages by the order, noble families and merchant cartels in Dunstrand. They have only been around since about CY 8700s – having once only been a sub order within House Malor but are now operating for outside businesses as well.

Working to be Trusted: Their services are suspect, as many see it as just a way for House Malor to get information without working for it.

Benreive (extinct horse of the Steel Realms)

Posted on March 14, 2024 in Steel-Realms

Benreive horses were massive equines/horses of the Steel Realms, with bones and large hooves “like steel” that needed no shoeing and handled well in mud, rock, and soft ground alike. Their colorations are a distinct blue-green and brown. The last of these came with the Riverdan Lords and died out in the early days of the settling of the Vale of Dunstrand. They were prized as heavy war horses, some standing 3m tall and capable of easily have a fighting platform for 2 men or a heavily armored knight that would be secured and bolted to their special saddle to be a mobile battering ram in some instances. The Ducateon even made the Benreivian Bridles special for them.

Benreive were bred and fed upon the magical grass of Reveinan (a county of the Fallen East of the Steel Realms), in a mountain valley pasture where the grass grew blue. (Unknown to all, this exposed to an ancient chemical spill of the Ur-Dacateon that made the horses grow huge).

Reivians

The bloodlines of the Beneive died out when the east fell. Those found were slaughtered for their meat. The lords of the east that would eventually find their home in the Riverdans territory of Monaides of the grand Duchy of Dunstrand and would continue their lineage as Reivians. Without the sustenance of the Reveinan grass, they are a shadow of what they once were – though still sought out today. They do not breed in large numbers, and the lords of the Riverdans do not sell them or train them for outsiders.
