The priest of Ezrilus, Piestchulin, settled over a thousand years ago. He and his minions (refugees he had taken in to make his cult) made a desperate stand against Orrish. The minions were half elves, elves, and humans. There was a promise to those that survived that the goddess would restore their number and they held out until only 20 were left, but drove the Orrish back into the forest. The population stays about 2000 people, all are diminutive humans with a strange faerie countenance, and 2/3 are female. They welcome half elves here. Women from here are some called ‘sirens’ they are so beautiful. It is said sometimes Ezrilus walks among them and blesses them with a celestial birth.
Spring Festival of Ezrilus

This location bears the Frost-Melded mark an ancient encounter with the Dragon of Rhyl.
The area was settled by Pinetribe Folk thousands of years ago, and they have lived with the beavers and other animals since. While not hostile to outsiders, they tend to keep to themselves.

Spider Top (Rhyl)
Posted on August 27, 2025

This is a tree-home of trees woven together at the top by a thousand years of silk from the giant spiders that have been bred and live in the copse. This location bears the Frost-Melded mark an ancient encounter with the Dragon of Rhyl.
Enthavelaugh Spiderin: Spider Top is a large area on top of a knoll with a 1km diameter top that rises about 400 feet and a stream at its eastern base. The woods outside of the knoll are also home to the Enthavelaugh Spiderin. These feed on rabbits bred by the elves and leave other creatures of the Forest alone.

Doget’s Petal: The Doget’s Petal/Doget’s Petal is a thin leather and cloth suit of armor with a hood that is shaped to the body of the wearer. Its composition is unique silks, waxes, and treatments from the area. It appears as a suit of light leather with a vertical set of skirt plates. It is never sold to outsiders, and only gifted to those who perform a high deed for the region or specifically the elves of Rhyl.
i20™ Armor Details
Prestige Mark > It is considered fitted Leather with +3 Resilience (only fits the wearer) and Cold Resistance & the powers of Cloak of Elven Kind. When among the rocks and land of the region of Rhyl, it is treated as a Elven Cloak. Outside, under the sky, the armor can be worn at night and slept in without discomfort – actually helping the character become comfortable; once slept in for a Long Rest cycle and Attuned, it grants the wearer +1 Initiative while it is worn & character can use all three Resilience at once – this destroys it and it cannot be repaired.
