Thlunumbaros Lamaserai
Posted on January 5, 2024 in Steel-Realms
Thlunumbaros Lamaserai; The institution maintains the Standard Occult Reliquary of the Steel Realms for members.
Prevelance
The order has 1 guild house and 3 towers of power (where blood cauldron ceremonies are practiced).
Stone Tree of the South
The symbol of the Sundered South is the symbol of the order.
This order has only been established for two centuries, about CY 8912. Many orders come and go, especially when their founder dies. This order has proven especially resilient – and has risen to power in the far fringes of Balletogue and the eastern borderlands. They make their home in the desolate Dotham Valley Basin – in a small side valley called the Valley of Stone Trees as some horrible event in the past caused many of the trees to turn to stone. Most have crumbled over time, but many remain, creating a bizarre backdrop to the Guild’s compound – at the center of which is a massive tower called simply, The Palace.
‘In the palace no one is safe; every passage and corridor holds a web of intrigue. Each room a gathering of hidden currents. A word spoken in confidence at sunrise may be common knowledge to all by night fall – and him that spoke may not live to see another day.’
They seem to focus heavily less on the formal instruction of magi, but more on banding together for common cause – whatever these are remain a mystery to outsiders.
Rumored to all be Set worshipers… also rumored to be monks and other things. They are also rumored to be steeped in the practice of employing Blood Spirits and the Cauldron of Blood.

Florent’s Array
Posted on November 18, 2023 in Steel-Realms
Florent’s Array is named after the first eldest prince of Umbak, Florent Teilhard (of the Teilhard Family). He became the second king of Umbak, and not only by virtue of his name but his effort to create this defense network. The ‘array’ named after him is a set of crafted poles, imbued with Virtue and Vigilance (‘Hearth Magik‘). They were to serve as a set of remote viewing points for the priests of Ikribu. They were sparse at first, and the alloying and process of their making is expensive. Over thousands of years though, there is a network that covers most areas of the borders of their country. Many have had to be replaced over time from natural disaster damage and destruction by inimical entities. They are sensitive to presences which exhibit extreme Chaos. They were the first major project of the Automata Brigade of Virtue and Reason.
Within Umbak, the senior members of the Order of the Silver Talents are instructed into using the devices of Florent’s Array to send and receive messages.

Posted on October 3, 2023 in Steel-Realms
The Thadrician Ocean of Helca separates the continents of Ustermaya (east) and Sayvalod (west).
Somewhere, west of the Seaborne Isles in the Thadrician Ocean is the prison-island of Elancil – Shanlehare – Where the goddess sends those who displease her who are without divine protection.
