Elven Wealds of the Steel Realms
Posted on February 14, 2025 in Steel-Realms
Elven Wealds of the Steel Realms are representative of the common elven Wealds and consolidated many of the earlier and smaller Faerie Burghs. One feature that is unique to the Weald communities of the Steel Realms is the Schan-Karr of the Elven Wealds. Every Weald has a Soul Well of the Weald – a Soul Tree or the like. Where possible, Sap of Wound Closure is made and used by the defenders of the Weald.
All Elven Wealds of the Steel Realms have a weak manifested Mundi Spirit of Helca, it pulls from laey and connects Aelfpaths of the Steel Realms if possible (though on Helca most are broken and dangerous).
- These harts of the Weald are often used by local Faerie Wind Weavers to make small talismans that allow elemental resistance and increased vigor to those native and bound to the Weald.
- Wealds that are in the Great Forests with one of the Navels of the Wylden grant their Druid’s access to the Navel’s effects in their Weald.
Passers Wake: This is the ripple of each entity traveling through the Weald. The Seers of the Weald monitor this as part of the normal Weald defenses and processes.
- The designation of Friend of the Weald is given to outsiders who perform a service for the community.
Seers of the Weald
The Seers of the Weald monitor the Passers Wake. This is done through an elemental Amesha scrying pool in the Weald that shows the things the active defenses of the Weald are sensing. It ripples when there is a target of note. These seers are priests of an organized order of the Common Faerie Faith in the Steel Realms.
Items of the Weald
Typical of Elven Wealds of the Steel Realms, this faerie home is lit using Elven Lake Lamps including the annual festival; This eerie glow sometimes seen by outsiders and centennial festival add to the typical mystery and wariness of the Elvish home.
Weald (Faerie) Ribbons: The elves use things for talismans akin to Wylde (Ribbon) Talismans but materials are from the local Weald. Twice Woven Ribbons are made by the local Faerie Wind Weavers of the Weald, they can never have entered the Schan-Karr of the Elven Wealds they are tied to.
These invigorate the wearer while in the Weald or on a mission for it.
Common Threats
Moon Spider Threat: The Spiders of Go-Zen are also called “Moon spiders”. In the Time of the Cold Moon, they travel on beams of moonlight and can access to Aelfpaths of the Steel Realms to attack the enclaves and Wealds of their hated faerie foes of Helca.
Common Defenses of Elven Wealds of Helca
- All the Elven Wealds of the Steel Realms in Helca have Laey Lines going through them that can be activated to deliver messages, anima, and combine powers in Ceremonies that involve key members of the faith and community there.
- The Dryad-Elven Alliance in every Weald.

This Elven Weald of the Steel Realms is a typical Elven Weald. The “home” of the Ghauvelah clan is in this western reach. They prefer to associate and have dealings with the folk of The Saelish over those of county Faer, and so the official (its hard to know for certain) declaration of it is in the western side of the Gold Leaf Forest.

Saivelaugh (Elven Weald)
Posted on October 18, 2021 in Steel-Realms
Saivelaugh is an Elven Weald of the Steel Realms – typical Elven Weald. The elves of the Saivelaugh Weald live in the Grebell Forest and vie for resources in the Grebell Forest through the Saivelaugh Accord with the folk of Pellan, East Torbin and West Torbin. The Ubaidth faction (which deals with outsiders) of the elves is lead by Belaya (Bellaigha). The Green Sleeves of Saivelaugh is matriarch Hamai. In recent times, their dealings with humans through the accord has soured. They prefer to go through the quiet community at Serdof – which has stuck to their veneration of Gaia and nature.

The elves harvest the White Willow materials from the Grebell Forest to make a fine padded armor from them, weaving bark into them. They also spin it to make a warm-as-wool cape that smells like a summer breeze and keeps the wearer dry. These are made by Faerie Wind Weavers.
Protector Spirit of the Weald: This elven Weald venerates the being they call Pthyia as the faerie manifestation of the Wyld that looks over them – Gaia by her common name.
The elves here also work with the pro-Riverdan militia to make the Spears of the Answering Reach. They extract its magic to help fuel the magics of the Weald for the shared logging resources of the humans nearby, and send back the whittled branch made straight as a spear haft. It is imbued with a great deal of resilience that can even be repaired by the elves.
