Burned Woods (ruins; The Saelish)
Posted on October 15, 2025
The Burned Woods stands as an ugly scar that never seems to heal. As such, as a Places and Territories of The Saelish it is avoided. It is partially flooded in parts from overflows by the __ River. It has stretches of marshes against the hills and in its core. Due to its stagnated nature, it has made a good habitat for the Lizardfolk of Ghur-ahn, Home of the Blacktails.
Its closeness to Keptrich, Notable Ruins (of The Saelish), and general appearance and nature has kept the Umbakians away.
The edges and heavily logged interior of this forest have grown at an accelerated rate in different areas since around CY 8500 – believed to be part of the effects of The Odyssey of Elancil’s Wound. These few regenerated places have been left alone and protected from logging.
Mobile Trade Stations of House Malor
Posted on August 4, 2025 in Steel-Realms
House Malor monitors some of the trade across the Nanford River and over the pass into Tarmysia. To this end, they set up temporary “House Stations” for lodging and work. They are NOT there to keep order or enforce the law per se, but merely to observe and report back to their order on the stability of the current methods and processes. They do not intervene in any disputes unless the Duke of Dunstrand orders them to. They have been known to intervene when the flow of trade is disrupted, but never consistently take a “side” in anything over thousands of years (much to the dismay of all parties). It is believed that they are virtually immune to bribery, because it has been tested.
Faction within the Order
The “Mercantile Maids” of Dunstrand as many derogatorily call them, are a faction of 6-10 wizards with some training who perform the trade monitoring. These are some of the lower ranks of the order’s members, and after a year or two they often move on to more important positions. The amount of traveling involved assists them in gaining more knowledge of the duchy.
