Faith in Rhyl

Steel Realms
Faith in Rhyl is a foundation of a lot of communities in Rhyl. This is due to the fact that dangers press on all sides. The Valley of Sighs, the Orrish, the armies of the Lich Lords, disagreements with the Wylders of the west, and trying to maintain good diplomatic alliances in the northern hinterland on the other side of the Tolkisson Mountain Range. Because of the constant pressure by the Lich Lords and the needs of The Red March, the culture of the faiths work more harmoniously in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl than most places in the realms. The Briarwoods of Rhyl have some unique features marking them out from the central heartland counterparts.

Here the clash of faiths in the “Affray of Darkness and Light” matters little. There is an unspoken acknowledgment that North Gate Garrison holds back a power that would consume both light and darkness and freeze everything into stillness and death.

Defining Ideal: The Grand Duchy of Rhyl has been "The Shield of the North" in the wars of The Noble East vs. The Broken Lands for thousands of years as well as stradling the crossroads of many powers and maintaining a tense peace. The Chronicle of Rhyl shows it first as many fiefdoms of 'The Lands of Rhylan' (CY 5500's), then a united kingdom (CY 5980), then as a duchy of the High Kings' kingdom of Gladnor (CY 6514). All citizens in the north take the pledge of Rhylan the Living.

Culture: Rhylian ( 'rill', 'rillian') locales have locally flavored experiences, but unless noted, follow general Territories and Fiefdoms properties and all share Common Culture - languages, Character Experience, institutions, Law, etc.

All Lightbringer & Wyld are welcome > Faith in Rhyl. Rhyl is the location of the High Temple for and the High Priestess of Aerna, which has a large impact on keeping the peace between the factions of the north and focussing them on the constant threat of the Lich Lords to the NE.

It is thought that Vaaurouch of The Rimbus is still alive and being venerated in the Navel of Rhyl Forest
