Willowpill Meadow
Posted on July 4, 2026 in Steel-Realms
A large part of the open Willowpill Meadow is level with the edge of the forest in the Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl. The grasses grow lush here, offering home to many birds, rodents, and insects. There is always activity here, and many high spots that are dry. Beyond the meadow is a spur of the forest that defines the Willowhand Glade with the strange area Icen Churnidz 5km deeper into the forest.
Role of: Hartbaten House of South Reedland Stretch > Within this territory, these is NO acknowledged rulership, but the lord of Harbaten would have little resistance. Were it not for the strange happenings in the Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl there may be more effort to secure it and expand the family’s influence.
@ Night > Any characters finding themselves here as the sun goes down will have the Hares Dream
Offham Creek (& steading; Rhyl)
Posted on July 4, 2026 in Steel-Realms
The Offham Creek is named for the old Offham steading ruins in the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl. The creek goes past the _ cold spot, where frost covers its banks and ice is common in the colder months. Regardless it carries a frigid flow into Callums Stream where it joins it to flow out of the Edgelands.
This cold seems to be a water source of great desire for ranch domesticated animals, beavers, deer and others that drink from it as it flows to the river. It seems to slake thirst easier, and require less. It definitely benefits the Ablocris Pasturelands.
Ancient Offham Steading Ruins
They are overgrown and barely discernable now, people only stumble upon them by accident.
Callums Stream (Rhyl)
Posted on July 4, 2026 in Steel-Realms
Callums Stream comes from deep in the Great Forest of Rhyl. As it flows through the edgelands of the the forest, it is about 2-3 feet deep and 8-10 feet wide consistently. It winds its way following the contours of the general drop in the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl, eventually feeding into the Beyne River like all the tributaries flowing out of the Edgelands.
The strange and cold Offham Creek is one of its tributaries, feeding into it right before it exists the tree line of Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl. The temperature of the weird stream chills the water and keeps it cold and refreshing as it flows through the edgelands and down to the Bene River. To the time it reaches it, the temperature and any residual magic in it is lost.
South of the creek as it cuts west is the Ablocris Pasturelands.
Handroot Copse (Rhyl)
Posted on July 4, 2026
The rise of large trees and shrub named Handroot Copse is also the hidden Faerie SmallFolk Village of Handroot that no one is aware of – part of the protected region of Ba-shin-draey. The sun, shadows, breezes and sounds distract those passing near or seeking the settlement. Sun up and sun down are side stepping portals active.
- The area is currently associated with the Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl due to the strange happenings that seem to end in this area and go no further into the forest of Rhyl.
Handroot Ellosarr
Handroot Ellosarr is the primary safe haven for some 1800 of the Smallfolk of Faerie in The Realms. It is not part of a Weald, but it is nominally under the extended protection of the Ostravelaugh Weald. The single Elven Lake Lamps they possess from their larger elven cousins is a warning beacon that will bring aid as soon as it can be mustered.Great Protector: Like that of the nearest Weald, it is Mhyi t’k the BIRD.
i20™ Protector Details
The evil spirit the smallfolk can summon in the greatest of emergency (it will need to be sacrificed to) is the strange antlered eagle that casts a shadow as a man. A powerful and evil beast with a taste for blood and the intelligence of a human; It is a warlock of the faerie court from whence it comes, and its patron is the arch-fey.

Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl
Posted on July 4, 2026
Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl, nominally a part of the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl, is now included as part of the ‘Albocris Estate‘ due to the continued strange happenings around the ancient monastery ruins. The reinvigoration of the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl seemed to bypass the entire area.
Role of: Hartbaten House of South Reedland Stretch > Within this territory, these is NO acknowledged rulership – in fact, they are not welcome.
Features & Aspects of Note
The reinvigoration effect of the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl seemed to bypass the entire area. Though the monastery lies away from the forest, often times the effect has a minor effect on bordering territories – there are none on the estate or monastery proper lands.
Encounters & Dangers in the Area
See Encounters in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl for common potential scenarios of notable events and creatures.
- Normal Settlement Encounters are not present – it is in ruins and abandoned. Because of its Umbakian origins and reputation of strange happenings, the locals, travelers, and near everyone avoids it – even for casual cover from bandits or the weather. At night, those camped will experience the Hares Dream.
