Enthavelaugh (Elven Weald, Rhyl – Gaur Dinae)
Posted on July 30, 2025 in Steel-Realms
The Enthavelaugh Weald is the dark forest Weald of the elves in the north boundary along the edge of the Tolkisson Mountain range in the Gaur Dinae Forest of Rhyl. Long has this clan been secretive and independent. Allies in time of need for certain, but more wild and alien than civilized by the Grand Duchy of Rhyl’s standards. The Autumn Goldfind Quarry to the NW provides a steady supply of cut stone for what little the elves need.
Governance of the Weald
Rulership/Governance: “Green Sleeves“: Burntleaf Greenspeaker is the office for Weald who represents it to outsiders. {Integrity ***} – uses Elven Wealden Titles. They are led by an Elven magus known as “The Doget” (dough-get)- named after the wild blue and white tulip that grows in The Forest of Rhyl proper. She has led their clan for over a thousand years, far longer than the normal Wyld Elven lifespan – and it is thought she is of a Ynthian bloodline since the clan became more secretive when she assumed control.
- Blood Leaf – “The Hand of the Doget”: The war leader that handles incursions or must work with outsiders to coordinate efforts.
- Administrative Center/Seat of Power:
Population: Approx. 20,000 Wyld Elves
> Note: There is no official census provided.
Protector Spirit: Karhu the BEAR – the senior followers are involved in both Defense and Faith of the community.

Decade of Dead Leaves: The fall of Doget’s Burial to Soul Reaver‘s forces precipitated the “decade of dead leaves” – about 13 years (CY 8817 – 8830) of serious loss (100,000+) as the area was inundated with the Lich Lords armies as they tried to flank North Gate Garrison.
Naighvelaugh (Elven Weald; Rhyl – North Pines)
Posted on July 30, 2025
The Naighvelaugh Weald is an Elven Weald of the Steel Realms – typical Elven Weald with a normal Schan-Karr. The elves of this deep forest Naighvelaugh Wealdare the most primal and savage in The Grand Duchy of Rhyl. Their position deep in the Great Forest of Rhyl in the Klaurian controlled area of North Pines on the edge of the Giant’s Steps keeps them isolated, amplified by the ‘separatist’ Kalurians around them. They are not xenophobic, but the natural defense of terrain, boundaries, alliance, and militancy has given them a fierce edge and kept their Weald vital and powerful. When sending their representatives as part of the Realms Levy each year, they typically send about 100 of their warriors, and about 20% are the infamous Tree Vipers.
Governance of the Weald
Rulership/Governance: “Green Sleeves“: Inifri Greenspeaker is the office for the Weald who represents it to outsiders. {Integrity ***} – uses Elven Wealden Titles.

Population: Approx. 22,000 Wyld Elves
> Note: There is no official census provided.
Protector Spirit: Epona the HORSE – the senior followers are involved in both Defense and Faith of the community; The horse-mother ties them to the Klaurian folk they live next to.
+ Hartwood Presence: This location leans heavily to the Wyld Faith, and has the presence of both Rhylian Briarwood and Rhylian Beastwood.
Perspectives on Other Wealds
Other Wealds are too civilized and have lost their way – except the Har Cunathea! The Gaur Dinae elves near North Gate Garrison are corrupt and given to a melancholy similar to that of the forest elves of Ynth. They are not trusted. Half elves are accepted, but only as warriors – any other association is considered tainted by the ways of civilized humans.

Haivelaugh (Elven Weald, Rhyl)
Posted on July 27, 2025 in Steel-Realms
Haivelaugh Weald is an Elven Weald of the Steel Realms – typical Elven Weald. The weald encompasses North Vinewood Forest (protected by The Vinewall), the Hythleit Grassland, and the Broken Shoulder Lowlands that contain water sources, copper, and iron, a few gemstone deposits (including obsidian) and a small quarry. The elevated Hythleit Grassland strip at the base of the mountains to the east and forest to the west is used for pastures, and home to deer, beaver, waterfowl, and a variety of flowers and wild grains.
Force Majeure: The elves of the Haivelaugh Weald are the most active and dynamic in The Grand Duchy of Rhyl, and have paid the price for it. They are still aggressive and prideful, but more cautious about committing their support without ensuring their own safety – necessitating the powerful and mobile Har Cunetha and the Heralds of the Har Cunetha.

Products and Trade of the Haivelaugh Weald
Like most Wealds, it is self sufficient in terms of sustenance for its inhabitants. Like most Wealds, the honey produced is prized by locals, as well as most of the foodstuffs.
Hythleit Sweet Feed: Every year an amount of Sweet Feed is sent to North Gate Garrison. These are meal bars loaded with sweet grains, honey, fat, protein and minerals. Perfect for ranging and scouting long distances. World Watchers moving through the area often are presented with this to help them in their travels.Carved yellow jasper, Amber, honey, sweet-preserved ‘rations’, and the occasional “sweet sword” and “sweet armor” novelties will be sold to outsiders. Also, some yellow dyes based on goldenrod are sold to outsiders, though most of that goes through Ten Stacks.
