Solavia’s Landing (Rhyl; naval port)
Posted on October 15, 2025 in Steel-Realms
The city of Solavia’s Landing is a mixed military and civilian port; However, 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 goods for the Red March in emergencies – ships are not even allowed to make port that carry these goods. The Salt Shore does not have many large, protected ports with deep harbors. Because of this, this city has been a constant point of conflict and competition with Rhyl and the North Merchant Cities.

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.

Ducal Navy Presence
Rhylian Navy Support: The city of Solavia’s Landing is the home of the several military ships that Rhyl has for civilian assistance operations.
Because of its location on Lake Caolite, and access to the waterways of the Kingdom of Gladnor, the High King possesses a naval station here – though only a single war sloop is kept here at all times. There is a maintained, but empty, supplemental barracks for Royal Marines.

Reedbed Onions
Posted on October 11, 2025
Reedbed Onions are often referred to as magical onions, but while special are mundane. They are grown on The Salt Shore of Lake Caolite in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl. It has taken millennium to perfect their breeding, but they are naturally well preserved especially in the colder northern climes – lasting for 8 months after harvest.
These are tended by the necromancer’s order of House Narcosa and sold on the Salt Shore and trade town there. There is said to be a special treatment they offer, requiring salt from the locale cured in the necromancer’s hall in addition to the blood of the person eating it; People think it has fluids from dead people and so wont do it. Many people bring on a retch or gag reflex thinking about it and cannot do it. This is psycho-somatic, as best as can be determined.
