Posted on August 1, 2025 in Steel-Realms
City of Rhylan is a massive, spread out capital city that is the central hub of The Grand Duchy of Rhyl.
Initial Description:
Rhylan is a sprawling, bustling unwalled city, with a main district on an uplift topped with the Ducal Keep, two other hills (Reethedyn and Hoarthedyn) and four suburbs with obvious vineyards and orchards at its edges. Several towers can be seen from a far distance, and most of the buildings are made from white limestone, making it a dazzling sight. Lush green trees grow throughout the city, making the white limestone even more striking. There are 5 roads leading into it, each marked with a statue of a white dragon as the city’s formal boundary.
Initial Description:
Crime: Though this place may have a couple local gangs, the predominant Rhylian Criminal Presence is The Dead Hand.

Rhylan High Sacrarium (Rhyl)
Posted on July 29, 2025
Rhylan High Sacrarium is the home of the sitting Justicar of Balthazaar in service to the local noble ruler, and presides over all the other sacrarium in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl. As with all Sacrariums, it contains a unique Shrine to the god of justice, Balthazaar.
The presence of young Justicars in the north is primarily due to their role in truth speaking and the detection of agents of the Lich Lords. Many nobles and key figures in Rhyl were attacked and murdered until these powerful warriors served to provide detection and defense against the Lich Lords minions, and assist with the general peace efforts in the north with the threat of truth-telling.
