North Peak Marble Quarry
Posted on October 25, 2025
The North Peak Marble Quarry is a marble quarry of the Grand Duchy of Rhyl in the Barony of Cunee. When the Dragon of Rhyl once ruled, North Peak Marble Quarry and Dreamstone Mine were guarded from the forces at Dragon’s Promise.
It is half flooded most of the time now, and only operates during the warmest half of the year.
> Because of the The Rhylander Compromise, this is one of the shared resources that is either partially or in whole administered, taxed, and supported by one of the Old Rhylan Kingdom Lineages through the Council of Rhylan.
Mushrooms of Rhyl
Posted on August 7, 2025 in Steel-Realms
One of the Notable Places and Geographical Features of the Grand Duchy of Rhyl are the Mushrooms of Rhyl. The many forests and moist environments as well as the Wylden quality have made it famous for its mushrooms.
Mushroom Farms: There are MANY mushroom farms around the forest that are shared resources for the Council of Rhylan.
Mushroom Sustenance: The myriad of mushrooms is a major source of protein and grown and harvested in both domesticated areas and protected wild ones.
The power of Rhyl’s natural bounty and Wylden many times creates faerie rings in the forest, and causes strange and powerful mushrooms to grow naturally in certain areas. The mystic effects of the rarer ‘blooms’ naturally draws strange and wondrous defenders. Whispers of strange mushrooms, like Fremlie Fold of elven origins, are rife throughout the north. Despite repeated attempts, the Criminal Presence in Rhyl has never been able to restrict access to or control the Mushrooms of Rhyl.

Bonnet Cap Mix
The forests have several minor anima fonts and powerful Laey Lines. Some of the mushrooms that grow in Rhyl are a direct result of this. These mushrooms are capable of being mixed into a solution that can be used as Spell Components to increase the potency of a spell. They must be mixed in a specific ratio, this mix is referred to as the “Bonnet Cap” of Rhyl.
Wyld Constraints: Repeated efforts to domesticate these by Quizmans Magisterium in Rhyl have failed. In fact, concerted attempts to organize harvesting in the wild have failed due to the influence of Wylden. Something about Rhyl’s strong attachment to the Laey prevents anything but individual foraging from evert turning up more than Dryad’s Fireknot.
- Dryad’s Fireknot: Constricts the throat, burns, useful for nothing for humanoids
- Weeping Faerie: Flavorful, tastes like garlic and onion
- Polyphore Bonnet: Large and highly nutritious

Candy Cap Mushroom
The Candy Cap Mushroom Trade Pipeline: The Greykin Hill People have handled the Candy Cap Mushroom Harvest the Candy Cap Mushrooms of Rhyl. It is a sweet mushroom that only grows in their areas of The Bromarre Stretch with their techniques, and it makes the meat of the huge cave millipedes sweet from consuming it. They trade the millipedes with the The Kemethian Fisherfolk who in turn prepare and sell it to others in the Barony and county as a well known delicacy. Even more rare is the trade in the mushroom themselves – 100 grams goes for 100sc.
