The Shrine of Stone’s Vigil (Rhyl)
Posted on October 7, 2026 in Steel-Realms
The Shrine of Stone’s Vigil – located on Point Vigil – is known nearby for its uniqueness, not any religious function – in fact none lay claim to it. It is remote and distant, a lonely place that seems to have been created as a fitting place to mourn loss and loneliness.
- Animals do not come here & clocks do not function here.
Distant light from Sillin’s Western Waylight at the mouth of the Beyne River can be seen on nights where the sky is mostly clear and no mist or fog is present.
The shrine itself is a natural high grotto with an alcove that was carved over eons of a stream that dropped into the grotto and eroded the stone. Though it appears to be a deliberately made altar, it is not and it has never been formally used as such. above the forest. It has a feel of utter abandonment, though the natural world ignores it – no vines, moss, or grass grows there. In fact, they all seem to lean away from it. The stone of the grotto is worn, appearing as if millions of endless feet have kept it stark rock, and the knees of the penitent have flattened, scalloped, and scoured the surface from endless prayers.
Vigil’s Burden – Alcove/Altar
Candles are brought, with the name of a loved one inscribed on a piece of paper. The custom is that the names are those that died alone, without friends or family, or alone in the dark, through murder, or with no one coming to their funeral. The paper is burned, carrying their name on the wind to the heavens it is believed.
There are thousands of years of candle smoke and offering ashes. Those who stand vigil leave them as they are. The wind and rain clean them naturally, but there is always build up.
Sillin’s Western Waylight (Beyne River mouth)
Posted on October 7, 2026
Sillin’s Western Waylight lights up the entire area of Sillin’s Way at the inland end of the mouth of the Beyne River. It replaces an ancient lighthouse function on Point Vigil. The North Merchant city sponsored a joint venture with high temple or Aerna in Rhyl created the beacon. The Priestess Sillin (of Aerna) imbued her life Essence in it, causing it to shine so brightly. Ducateon masons set it in the stone such that it is ‘impossible’ to extract.
- This can be seen eastward for 15km distance, westward for 3km, and north & south of the mouth in the Caolite Basin for 10km.
There is no path to it, but it illuminates the entrance to the Beyne River from the south side. Brighter than a lighthouse light – it lights up the entire entry point, over a 1km area.
