Posted on July 4, 2026 in Steel-Realms
Intmen’s Corner is a piece of Aeter’s Rise that the Monastery of Ablocris was built on in the Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl.
Old Worker Ruins
There are several bases of what were once barracks and support buildings for the construction of the monastery that could be found. Now must are buried and completely obscured – most on purpose as they served their purpose and materials re-used if they could be.
Searching for Trinkets & Treasure: The area was looted and over the decades by treasure hunters, travelers, bandits, and scholars have likely taken anything of value. Relief carvings, a few shards of broken pottery and glass are all that remains. It would take a large portion of time and effort to sift through the rubble for any remainders.
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.
