There are many Places, Locales and Features of Pelmon.
Saivarn Hills (rivderdan of Bondeau)
Posted on March 20, 2024 in Steel-Realms
The Saivarn Hills are situated between the Grebell Forest and the East Torbin Rise in the Riverdan of Bondeu. It is a place shared by elf and human alike, though mostly the ancient Sauvelaigh Elves claim most of it, including an ancient hold fast (guarded, but rarely used) carved out by elementals when the forest was burned under attack from the Orrish thousands of years ago.
Saivelaugh Holdfast
The Saivelaugh Holdfast is protected by the magic of the Saivelaugh Weald directly. It is used every time the Orrish appear from the Underland in the hills. From it, the faerie kin go directly to war against the Orrish and their allies. It is small, but carved directly into the hillside. Sunlit shafts bring air, water to a cistern, and provide entrance and exit.
Within it is a small patch of still elemental earth. From it, the elves can strike anywhere in the hills nearly instantly. Normally such functions require a forced binding – this is typically against faerie ideals; The exact nature of how the elves of the Saivelaugh Weald have this persisted is unknown.

These share the common Workings of Faith, promoting worship to prove the truth of the Divine Principal's ideals and tenets, and allow Followers a means to prove worthy to wield power and secure a place in the promised afterlife. Everdark has a Dominant Presentation of their faith, clergy, and institutions that the folk of the realms look to.
