Navels of the Wylden (“The Great Hart”)
Posted on November 7, 2025 in Steel-Realms
Navels of the Wylden have a form of sentience brought on by the anima fount at its core and the anima of all the living beings that inhabit it. There is always a World-Tree of the Wyld in the Navels of the Wylden. Normally, at the deep heart of all The Great Forests, in the Navel/Hart where the center of power is, is a mated pair of Unicorn protectors.
- These places have a tendency to form a Dew Gate in the navel, drawing elementals, malicious small folk of the Faeywyld, and the child-thieving hags of lore in search of easy mortal prey.
Wylde Empowerment within the Great Forests of the Steel Realms
Navel Bound: Those who have taken the “Green Passage” may bind themselves to one of the Navels. This is not automatic. Druid defenders may prevent it, have stipulations around it, or the Navel do the great hart may reject a character if they are deceitful, harmful, or contrary to its best interests.

Sir General Hadmiren (dead)
Posted on November 6, 2025 in Steel-Realms
Sir General Hadmiren was a general on The Autumn Wall of North Gate Garrison for 17 years, and had a reputation for tactical traps and absolute ruthlessness against the undead. A follower of Mizras from the Mizras Temple of the Bone Breakers. He retired and without the fury and stimulation of battle, he passed away in seclusion within a year. It is said Sir General Hadmiren‘s bones are buried in the blessed soil of his homeland of Rhyl at Home Garden at North Gate Garrison – an honor afforded a rare few in thousands of years.
i20™ Item Details
Hadmirens Crest: This was a crimson kerchief he kept tied around his neck. It was originally a signature grey with red stripes and a war hammer embroidered on it. After he was inflicted with an evil spirit of vampirism his throat wound leaked blood and the kerchief was made by Netheb the Aged of House Narcosa to absorb its tell-tale signs. It absorbed some of his power and vitality to keep the spirit within from taking it.
Attuned: 1 hour / -1 hp while wearing it. Relentless Endurance > When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. Afterwards, you can use your Reaction to make an attack on the attacker that would have killed you. You can’t use this feature ever again.

Sir General Hadmiren was a general on The Autumn Wall of North Gate Garrison for 17 years, and had a reputation for tactical traps and absolute ruthlessness against the undead. A follower of Mizras from the Mizras Temple of the Bone Breakers.He fought off multiple assassination attempts, including one from a vampire! The last one drained him to the point of retiring, not even the masters of House Narcosa could restore him. He retired and without the fury and stimulation of battle, he passed away in seclusion within a year. It is said Sir General Hadmiren‘s bones are buried in the blessed soil of his homeland of Rhyl at Home Garden at North Gate Garrison – an honor afforded a rare few in thousands of years.

His signature belongings (ascot/kerchief, cloak, and boots) were buried with him.
Rare Knowledge / Very Hard Difficulty
He was actually laid to rest at the cemetery of his order at the Mizras Temple of the Bone Breakers. There he rose from the grave as a vampire! The order was prepared for this, as though they could not cure his affliction, House Narcosa ascertained this potential outcome. Netheb the Aged was able to contain Sir General Hadmiren‘s undeath and lay him to rest. He extracted the evil spirit inhabiting him and bound it to himself before passing through the orders’ doorway to the House of the Dead and releasing it – though he kept some of memories it imprinted from the general.

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.

Millhaven Heath (Rhyl)
Posted on November 6, 2025 in Steel-Realms
Millhaven Heath is a large village in a large open area in the South Reedland Stretch territory with a pair of creeks forming a giant meadow to its north. The village is somewhat split by a small ridge that runs almost 80′ long and is 10′ high and 25′ wide at its widest point. There is a stone base watch tower on the ridge that can keep watch in all directions – it rises 2 stories with a roof post for a watchman and a horn to warn locals if any force approaches.
Grain Mills: There are three streams that move through the area, and a small mill is on two of them – giving the area its name. All the grain in the local area that is ground on a large scale is done here. A mason also lives in the area, handling mill stones and foundations. The three streams all flow south, where they eventually slope down to the Beyne River far in the distance.
Rulership/Governance: {Integrity ***} Hetman and a council that represents surrounding areas and steadings when large representation is needed.
- Recognized Administrative Center/Seat of Power: Millhaven Hall
- Primary Settlement Upbringing Experience: Rural
Population: Approx. 665 humans + 50 in immediate surrounding subsistence farms.
Under Tunnels: There is said to be a stone walled room under the mound on which the watch tower stands – a place of refuge for non combatants and children in times of crisis. Rumors persist of tunnels that lead off to points outside the village for escape.
Professional Rauket Team: Nearly every year, the locals field the Raukhaven Millers that plays in Rhyl and the Merchant Cities – Rauket Culture is important to the area. The team usually brings in slightly more than it costs, and its a tradition that makes the local proud. Some years, the tough rural team way out performs and brings money for improvements and maintenance in. Its a huge boost and complication when they host local games.
