Beryl, Free City (“Soul of the Borderlands”)

Steel Realms
Located on Ustermaya .
Beryl is often referred to as the “Soul of the South” or “Soul of the Borderlands”.

Beryllium Mines: Beryl gets its name from the Beryllium mines it has secured nearby. It is the richest known deposit of the mineral on Helca, and used to craft exceptional armaments – usually weapons. Each of the three mines has a stone tower and enclosed courtyard for defense. The mined material is taken to a fortified refining facility a small ways from a fortified wharf to take the material. About half goes to the city by land, to be used by the armories in Beryl, the rest goes north overseas escorted only by the navy of Beryl, and making only three stops – Karolak, Portia, and Poelitz. Beryl ships the armaments they make, mined Beryllium and refined material anywhere except Gwinn. The penalty for selling or reselling material or armaments with beryllium to them is death. The secrets of making the best, true Beryllide armaments have not been discovered by anyone but the ancient Lords of Bronze and Umbakians.

The Barlogue Blackguild‘s order only remaining chapter hall was their southern most one – The Tower of Meridiem, in the freehold city of Beryl.
