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.

Rite of Disgorgement
Posted on February 26, 2024 in Steel-Realms
The Rites of the Unholy Trio are powerful rituals that use the Divine power of Connexion and specific knowledge to evince an effect. The Black Heralds of Everdark are known to invoke the Rite of Disgorgement when leading raiding parties.
This is the primary power that uses the power of The Deeping to twist time and space in transporting raiding parties from the Dark Lands to the lands of light, casting them out under the night sky near an entrance The Deeping or a breach point they have sacrificed that is near it. The rite is invoked again to take raiding parties home to the soothing Dark Lands with captives and goods.
This rite leaves a visible mark on the targets, usually consisting of a splotch that appears vaguely to be a worm or serpent leaving a cave mouth.
Repeated Use: The Rite of Disgorgement also seems to weaken the rock and soil around its anchor point when used repeatedly on the same area and the Orrish spend weeks ensuring that their forces can escape using the same ritual, back to the Dark Lands, if needed.
