Honeystone Pollen Harvest (Rhyl)

Posted on October 10, 2025 in Steel-Realms

Honeystone Pollen is one of the empowered elements coming from Honeystone Lake. This pollen has a property that causes ice to unfreeze and snow to melt in mass volumes.

Animation Killer: Honeystone Pollen also used in streams of the Vinewood elven Weald against a force of animations of the Lich Lords. The pollen into the water while activating the Vinewall magic as they crossed it, it dissolved the walking dead and damaged the undead! This happened twice in CY 8971.

Riders of the Har Cunetha take the Mare’s Milk & Honeystone Pollen on the road to keep exhaustion and sleep at bay.

A small amount of Honeystone Pollen is collected every year to be used in the defense of the Rhyl – to be used to keep areas clear for defense in emergencies in such places as the Eye of the Doget, The Hornguard of Rhyl, Houska Pass, The Autumn Wall and the like.

Doget’s Burial (ruins)

Posted on October 10, 2025 in Steel-Realms

The buried ruins of the fortress of Doget’s Burial was once the Eye of the Doget. It is slightly east of the newer fortress. Doget’s Burial fell in CY 8817. The limits and stipulations for Historical Designation and Exploration in the Steel Realms are well documented.

The forces of the elves at Gaur Dinuae once manned this fortress – created with help from the Ducateon. The Lich Lord Soul Reaver caused an entire army of his to be caught up in an avalanche to bury the fortress. A thousand elven warriors are said to have died that day, in addition to human and dwarven defenders. A frost sealed in the avalanche of snow and debris. What remained of the army – animations, ghouls, and wights of warriors once of Dundaria – fought a bloody battle. They were armed with tools and tunnels through debris into pockets of defenders, slaughtering them. Less than a dozen elves made it out. The ruins are still encased in debris. It took months to kill the stragglers that kept coming out and trying to carve a road through the debris to the low hills to disgorge future attackers.

Decade of Dead Leaves: The fall of Doget’s Burial to Soul Reaver‘s forces precipitated the “decade of dead leaves” – about 13 years (CY 8817 – 8830) of serious loss (100,000+) as the area was inundated with the Lich Lords armies as they tried to flank North Gate Garrison.

Since then, the Enthavelaugh Weald has made attempts to channel some of its power directly to the new fortress of the Eye of the Doget.

Honeystone Pollen was attempted to be used to clear the area, but the shadow of the Lich Lord Soul Reaver was made manifest directly on the area when it was buried and has resisted efforts – though it has some small success here and there over the years.
