Peripheral Settlements of the Albocris Edgelands (Rhyl)

Posted on July 4, 2026 in Steel-Realms

Peripheral Settlements of the Albocris Edgelands are the minor and non traditional settlements near the ‘Albocris Estate‘ that are not par of the chartered monastery or its support lands. They are technically in the area defined as
Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl, nominally a part of the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl.

These are all homesteads that are chartered and recorded separately.

Willowhand Glade

The Willowhand Glade is just east beyond the Willowpill Meadow. It has a reputation for freezing during fall, winter, AND some of spring as a cold wind blows past the Frost-Melded Icescapes of Icen Churnidz.

Along with the strange weather effect, the ice and cold keep most creatures (especially predators) away. The grass grows long in the glade, and fog often drifts through the half mile wide glade.

Foxes have been seen in the area and their is thought to be a deep den there.

There are foxes here year round.

>There are skeletons buried here where a few from the monastery fled in Rundlemans War and tried to hide. They were all killed.

Willowpill Meadow

Posted on July 4, 2026 in Steel-Realms

A large part of the open Willowpill Meadow is level with the edge of the forest in the Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl. The grasses grow lush here, offering home to many birds, rodents, and insects. There is always activity here, and many high spots that are dry. Beyond the meadow is a spur of the forest that defines the Willowhand Glade with the strange area Icen Churnidz 5km deeper into the forest.

Role of: Hartbaten House of South Reedland Stretch > Within this territory, these is NO acknowledged rulership, but the lord of Harbaten would have little resistance. Were it not for the strange happenings in the Ablocris Edgelands of Rhyl there may be more effort to secure it and expand the family’s influence.

Offham Creek (& steading; Rhyl)

Posted on July 4, 2026 in Steel-Realms

The Offham Creek is named for the old Offham steading ruins in the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl. The creek goes past the _ cold spot, where frost covers its banks and ice is common in the colder months. Regardless it carries a frigid flow into Callums Stream where it joins it to flow out of the Edgelands.

This cold seems to be a water source of great desire for ranch domesticated animals, beavers, deer and others that drink from it as it flows to the river. It seems to slake thirst easier, and require less. It definitely benefits the Ablocris Pasturelands.

Ancient Offham Steading Ruins

They are overgrown and barely discernable now, people only stumble upon them by accident.

Callums Stream (Rhyl)

Posted on July 4, 2026 in Steel-Realms

Callums Stream comes from deep in the Great Forest of Rhyl. As it flows through the edgelands of the the forest, it is about 2-3 feet deep and 8-10 feet wide consistently. It winds its way following the contours of the general drop in the Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl, eventually feeding into the Beyne River like all the tributaries flowing out of the Edgelands.

The strange and cold Offham Creek is one of its tributaries, feeding into it right before it exists the tree line of Southern Edgelands of the Forest of Rhyl. The temperature of the weird stream chills the water and keeps it cold and refreshing as it flows through the edgelands and down to the Bene River. To the time it reaches it, the temperature and any residual magic in it is lost.

South of the creek as it cuts west is the Ablocris Pasturelands.
