Blades of Renown (Merchant Cities)
Posted on November 16, 2025
The “Blades of Renown” sold in the Merchant Cities of the Borth and South are simple mystical long sword blades with Standard Augmentation of +1 quality.
They are not common, and typically not made for someone in particular. They don’t have prestige markers initially, though ornamenting and decoration by crafters and artists may warrant it. They are superficially customized with minor stylizations. Only about 20 are made each year in the north and south. Half are broken or lost within a year, some end up in collections, and others as grave goods later when their owners fall.
They are mostly a generic long sword, with no powers beyond simple Standard Augmentation; They have a one time Attunement for their initial owners that grants a simple bond as the initial owner that can never be replicated. As magical blades, they are immune to Ironrot.
All eventually have their own history. None are purchased new with a purpose, name/reputation, or history – these are developed by those who possess them. They are basic and further empowering them is difficult, though their full measure of power is powerful enough to strike many great evils of the Steel Realms. Sold new, they have a plain scabbard and no adornments.

Solavia’s Landing (Rhyl)
Posted on October 15, 2025 in Steel-Realms
The city of Solavia’s Landing is a civilian port only – no military goods and or anything heading towards The Red March go through here. It is located on the Salt Shore of the Reedbed Principality in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl. Solavia’s Landing is the primary port on the Salt Shore, and Saltmarch the secondary. It has become a minor hub for Commerce, Trade, and Items of Note in Rhyl. The The Kalizmin Quarry has a road to the port city of Solavia’s Landing. It would only handle non-civilian goods in emergencies – ships are not even allowed to make port that carry military goods. The Salt Shore does not have many large, protected ports.
The breakwater for Soliva’s Landing was made up over thousands of years of slow accumulation and dredging, its operation and ownership changing multiple times in the long history of Rhyl.
This locale has a Chapter House of the Narcosan Order of Necromancers in Saltmarch.
Quality items from the Inderood Bronzeworks in the City of Fortun are made for ships built and repaired on the Rhylian ports on Lake Caolite.
This city has been a constant point of conflict and competition with Rhyl and the North Merchant Cities.
Crime: Though this place may have a couple local gangs, the predominant Rhylian Criminal Presence is The Dead Hand.
Rhylian Navy: The city is the home of the several military ships that Rhyl has for civilian only operations. Make no mistake though, the navy of Rhyl take great pride in their dragon prowed ships and how integrated they are. Of all the powers on the lake, they are the one those in trouble are most grateful to see. The Port City of Alacaster is a smaller backup port for the navy. The ship building facilities are located at Arbenants Port.
