Ilby, the second-largest settlement in the Kingdom of Rogna, is held by Clan Gelda, whose warriors played a pivotal role in the Ivinian conquest of the Jara region in northern Hârn. Like his predecessors, Valhakar Ermus Gelda has not given up claims for tribute from the Geldestaars, a cadet branch of the clan who conquered Lorkin. These interests in Orbaal have long caused the Geldas friction with Clan Turensyn, the royal clan of Rogna.

The Ilby article describes the settlement's history, government, religion, economics, and military forces. It includes color GM and player maps of the settlement and brief descriptions for many local craftsmen and other locations in the town.
