Moonrise of the Greenwood Knot
Posted on March 31, 2026 in Steel-Realms
The Moonrise of the Greenwood Knot was an Event in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl that saw a resurgence in the interest and power of the Greenwood Knot Order of Darupet in Rhyl. On a night of a full moon, the children of Darupet called out to the moon mistress Ezrilus to give meaning to their remaining days instead of tending gardens for the order. Transformed into lycans, they loped to the Autumn Wall and with breathing still ragged from their journey, climbed its heights and dropped onto the other side – directly into moving towers of bone and units of wights, ghouls and animations hiding under the cover of a fog. Forces on the wall had been allocated elsewhere, and these powerful druid-werewolves dropped in, knowing a violent, glorious death awaited them… and went willingly. Those the Moonrise Tradition was created, that still persists.

The trek from the abbey to the Autumn Wall that the lycanthropes run is now a Pilgrims trek.

The Moon Children of Cunee: A group of Ezrilus priestesses is sometimes known to be along the path to the Autumn Wall, and to coerce the running lycanthropes into sex on theior way to their death. Although the Moon Mistress Ezrilus favors her wolfen brothers and sisters, the Moon Children offspring are not granted lycanthropy, but are all marked with her symbol, a primal fierceness, survival instincts, and wolf eyes and their sense of hearing and smell.

CAMPAIGN CHRONICLE >> The North Revealed is a Living World campaign set in The Northern Hearthlands/Grand Duchy of Rhyl of the [Fantasy] Steel Realms.
** The source of the following material is from this campaign. **
Demonic Knowledge Kept Hidden: On the battlefield was a new object the Lich Lords were testing, a binding object made from an ancient ghoul’s skull and jaw bone was guarded by terrifying demonic beings. The last of the druids that were called by the moon sacrificed themselves to ensure this horrific process failed. Ethereal Wurms, summoned from an ethereal storm, were being used to gnaw the foundations of The Autumn Wall. The demon that brought forth this knowledge was destroyed and the Lich Lords were unable to replicate it. Without this victory, the Ligh Lords were unable to make a sacrifice of captives that would have opened a second front into the grand Duchy of Rhyl through the Tolkisson Mountains that would have not been defended by The Autumn Wall. This would have seen a plague of undead in the north, and the destruction of the Goliath community in the north as well as elves and halflings in great numbers and forcing characters to serve in the north (a chance of not even surviving their early days).
Prevented the Dwarven Exodus: The dwarves of Sun Stone Top, who had a reserve force of 380 used to close the gap on The Autumn Wall after the battle. They witnessed the humans that sacrificed themselves instead. The survivors report back, and a contingent of dwarves that were advocating moving a quarter of the population (of dwarvens in Rhyl) are swayed not to. This would have triggered the Broken Tip Run scenario and likely even a greater exodus of Dwarven population from Rhyl.
