Fae Realms

The Fae Realms are not a specific dimension or demesne. They represent a shifting border region proximate to The Dreaming in the Astral Plane. The ancestral home of all creatures of Faerie is Tir na Nog. These realms bear a strong metaphysical proximity to the more modern demesnes of Otherworld and mythical Avalon.

The Fae Realms themselves are difficult for mortals to navigate. There is no linear topology and travel by foot does not necessarily mean progress is consistent. The Fae Realms are the origins of the Elemental Parliament. Regions of the Fae Realms tend to reflect ideologies-- bright gardens for kindness, swamps for decrepitude, misty forests for the tricky and vast deserts for the far-seeing. Known paths, or Ways, assist mortals in using the Fae realms to rapidly traverse otherwise significant differences in reality. The oldest realms of Fae are as ancient as the universe itself and are the home of many Primordial Fae, immortal ideologues of fantastic power and influence. Venturing into these realms is risky even for experienced travellers.

Morgan le Fay and Immortal Merlyn are venerated as heroes among the Fae for the creation of the land of Avalon. The elves take immense pride in their duties at the Outer Gates of Otherworld and Morgana has shown herself to be an ally to the immortal spirits, even despite their fickle memories.
