Wylden
One of the greatest experiences of Rhyl is what Rhylians call the quality of “Wylden“. It is a natural strength of wilderness and wild species that live there. Faeries still exist in the deep forest, the land is bountiful – excessively so, strange mists and fogs drift in places, bizarre creatures appear in the deep woods, there are multiple elven Wealds, a plurality of species makes it a home and coexists (though no single society is particularly ‘tolerant’). Some have even likened The Red March to an ongoing blood sacrifice that stimulates the land. Although the High Temple of Aerna and many Justicars are found here, it is predominantly Green Church and friendly to the Wyld Faith. There are many lines of The Laey in the North, contributing to this impact.
The power of Grave Beckoning is tied to being bound to the Wylden in the north of Kaald and Rhyl.
Certain crops cannot be domesticated here, and many things found in the wild refuse to thrive under domesticated or wither in the face of organized harvesting – especially the Mushrooms of Rhyl.
The Har’ahdu Cunaigh – Aelfpath of Helca twines through the Great Forest of Rhyl.
