Pelyn is the imposing royal seat of Menglana and burial ground for all but one of its Stahler kings. Its politics are fractious and often deadly to those who oppose the king's weakening rule. The vathran sits on the southern end of Pelyn Island, a strategic position in the middle of the Leimenfjord. The vathran has never been successfully attacked, partially because of its natural defenses but mainly because the Stahler kings have protected it with a large warfleet.

Pelyn Vathran describes the settlement's history, government, religion, economics, and military forces. It includes color GM and player maps of the settlement and brief descriptions of many local craftsmen and other locations. The article features color floor plans of the King's Hall and other buildings in the royal complex, as well as an expanded write-up and floor plans for the marketplace.
