City of Asheroon (ruins; Rhyl)
Posted on October 13, 2025
The Ruins of Asheroon is an ancient city that was at edge of the Bronze Edged Tablelands looking down at the cut between it and Gaur Dinuae Forest of the elves. The limits and stipulations for Historical Designation and Exploration in the Steel Realms are well documented.
the center of one of the old Kingdoms of Rhylan trade routes along a river in what became Twin Springs County.
It was sacked many times. It was finally brought low and burned to the ground around in CY___. It was known as a city of sorcerers and mystics, a place of exotic substances and feared powers from the time of the crossing of The Blood of Saemon over 9000 years ago.
Dwarven Armaments: At its height, the sorcerers of Asheroon employed a family of dwarves to make all their armaments for their soldiers. The dwarves had a dedicated city block for their home and smithy, and there were rumors for a gold mine they had made under the land given to them.
Travelers that try and access the ruins record massive snakes, turtles, and flickering shadows that move through the waters and ruins. Some have even had terrifying visions trying to cross the watery terrain to get to the ruins. It is shunned.
The city now lies in the center of the Sunken Lands of Asheroon, submerged under a few feet of water and is used as a watering hole for herds of deer and other animals. Most of its walls and buildings have fallen. It is too dangerous for anyone, and the sunken lands have given birth to large and aggressive snapping turtles that prey on anything they can ambush or attack from the waters edge.

Kingdoms of old Rhylan (Rhyl)
Posted on October 12, 2025
The Kingdoms of old Rhylan was an era from about CY 3900 to the time of the consolidation into a single kingdom around CY 6500. This allowed the tribes and settlers to consolidate into larger and larger enclaves, towns, and cities. After that, in CY 6514, it was transitioned to the Grand Duchy of Rhyl.
The sect of The Stonelights was based on the value of the ancient Kingdoms of old Rhylan, though in memoriam and as a place for their second and third sons to find purpose in. They often functioned as genealogists and record keepers of bloodlines for this.
Since CY 3000, the non-elf faerie kin races begins a slow withdrawal to the heart of the forest.
The Retreat of the Tribesfolk
Pine Tribes retreat North of the Beyne River/Rhyl: The people of the “Gathered Tribes” (Early History of the Pine Tribes) were forced out of Rhyl, pushed west first in CY 2331; The “Bloodhook Despair” was the era of the first calamitous times for them. Rhyl was wild then, home to many races in small numbers. The land was bountiful and few cities existed when eastward migration en masse first happened. Faerie Burghs became Wealds for protection, and the first small kingdoms arose. Then around 6500 when Dundaria fell and the consolidation of the Kingdoms of old Rhylan, another massive wave of migration came, forced consolidation and a power struggle to really begin. Logging and resource exploitation began in earnest.
There are rumors Theodrose and the Chain Masters of the North were involved in consolidating the Kingdoms of old Rhylan into The Grand Duchy of Rhyl.
