The Weather in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl
The Weather in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl is often cooler and wetter than the rest of the heartlands of The Noble East of the Steel Realms. The seasons in The Grand Duchy of Rhyl: summer is only about 2 and 1/2 months. Spring and winter are drawn out and fall is cold with slow winds.
The cold winds coming through North Gate Pass are fortunately broken up by the Bronze-Edge Tableland. All of the forests on the west side of the tablelands are super dense, filled with fog and very wet. The eastern forest are a little sparser and broken up by many small meadows and diverse wildlife.
Mountain Shadow in the East: The Tolkisson Mountains cast a shadow early in the day on the Eastern lands but they warm up And the Vinewood Forest there absorbs heat more and keeps the meadowlands east of it more dry. It snows regularly in the east and north areas bordering the mountains and winds move swiftly blowing mists on top of the tableland where weather systems gather and change.
The weather over North pines is different than the rest of The Weather in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl, obviously some mystical effect keeps North Pines warmer than the rest of the forest. It has less cloud cover.
Weather on the Autumn Wall: Along The Autumn Wall it is always Autumn unlike the rest of The Weather in the Grand Duchy of Rhyl. The snow doesn’t stick but it gets wet and slushy. It is never very warm but warm enough. Constant blasts of winter storms come raging through the North Gate pass, harbingers of assault by undead.
