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.
> “Tree Top-Red Step” - Greenvoice: The female 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.

World Navel of the Ur-Fahyl (Bronzelands)

Within the Fhayl Forest itself, cutting into that great Numinous Mundi’s domain was the singular expression of the “Bronzelfolk Blessed Lands”. It is cast into shadow and invisibility in terms of memory and record – accessible by none. There is always a World-Tree of the Wyld in the Navels of the Wylden.

The edges and heavily logged interior of this area have grown at an accelerated rate in different areas since around CY 8500 – believed to be part of the effects of The Odyssey of Elancil’s Wound. It has re-invigorated the anima effects here.
