Hatusha (Elfin village; Rhyl)
Posted on August 24, 2026 in Steel-Realms
The Elfin village of Hatusha – called the Sunrise Glen by its inhabitants – is part of the protected faerie region of Ba-shin-draey (sometimes known as the “Faerie Edgelands” to outsiders”) in the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl. It is about 2.5 miles into the Edgelands from the Forests edge. The village of Hatusha is not on any map. It is a small village of the smaller slight elves (elfin).
- 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. Hatusha though, being the source of the Flames of Manat, has its location utterly undiscovered by outsiders.
Authority: There is no centralized authority except in times of war, other than a Green Speaker. And these folk often feel they are at war with other humanoids – even if the others don’t realize it. All its leaders have a Faeymark tattoo of Ba-shin-draey – their home.
- Redvoice: The male war-speaker (speaks for warriors). These all have a distinctive Faeymark tattoo in Feyloise. The war speakers speak Draconic to communicate with the Hydrae of Rhyl.

Flames of Manat
The flames of Manat are the protective green flames that rise up each sunrise and flicker over the village up to the tree tops. Manat is the earth-spirit bound to a Laey Line that empowers some of the Smallfolk protections for the entire area of Ba-shin-draey – pulling its power each day at sunrise into the earth. These flames can be seen as a sort of shadowy witch-flame of bright green at sunrise for a moment. It rises in different parts of Ba-shin-draey each day. It pulls energy from the Faeywyld; It can ring the village and transport it out of time so it cannot be found for 1 week.
Elfin war-speakers and the Green Speaker can control elemental like full elves.
The Faeywyld Borderlands of Manat
Due to the powerful Laey presence and earth elemental reverberations, the Faeywyld borderlands take on a flickering dream-like glow; Like a wound that runs in the earth, this mist hazed witch-light covered area is a cliff face when looking down with the right vision and angle. The cliff can be climbed down into the Faewyld and the Faewyld climbed out of. It is a harrowing journey of gusts, obscured vision, wet mists & slippery surfaces. Time dilates and stretches – 1 day here sees 7 pass on Helca.

Ba-shin-draey (Rhyl)
Posted on August 24, 2026 in Steel-Realms
The land of Ba-shin-draey (sometimes known as the “Faerie Edgelands” to outsiders”) in the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl is home to the faerie Smallfolk. The center of faerie Smallfolk power in the territory is the Handroot Ellosarr. It is the remainder of the ancient faerie realm of Ashtenai.
Although there are plenty of rumors and the druids & Ostravelaugh elves repeatedly have warned away outsiders from an area 5x its size, explorers and settlers have sought to make inroads here. It has been a constant struggle to not excavate to violence with the faerie folk known to live here, and their magic tends to keep away those who persist through non violent means. The official forces of The Grand Duchy of Rhylan in the South Reedland Stretch have no control over this region.
- 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.
The elves of Ostravelaugh Weald are closest to the Handroot Ellosarr of the Faerie Smallfolk in the Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl and serves as a protector to it, sharing the same animal protector spirit with it. Though the distance is far, there is constant and near instant communication in times of emergency between the two folk.
This territory is known to the faerie folk ‘the land of nodding trees’; The trees here, unlike others in the Southern Edgelands of Rhyl are quiet (nodding off/sleeping) – unlike the the noisy and quick growing trees that are re-populating the edgelands currently.
Site Aspects/Features
Rejuvenated Land: These once over-logged Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl are covered by new growth trees now. More than a mile into the edge of the Forest where these lands are, the Flora and fauna are super robust and resilient. The Time of the Cold Moon has no effect here. These lands were completely reinvigorated early in the process and have grown at an accelerated rate here since around CY 8500 under the effects of The Odyssey of Elancil’s Wound
Encounters & Dangers in the Area
None of the usual Encounters in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl will take place here. Outsiders cannot see it or understand it, but the Flames of Manat from Hatusha can be seen by faerie folk, and can be drawn on for some measure of protection.
Basic Experience
When outsiders – non-faerie folk – cross into these lands, there are visible signs that they have entered into a place where the normal forest ends.
