The realm of Faerie is located within the greater realms; travel between faerie and Adylheim's plane is fairly common, both intentionally and unintentionally. Things that happen in Faerie can potentially effect Adylheim and vice versa; in some extreme cases it seems that the planes overlap and merge. This phenomenon is noted in particular in the village of Gate, deep in the Arameia Highlands.

The Seelie and Unseelie Courts

Things however, get more complicated, as Faerie itself is divided into two ever overlapping and touching planes, making things often confusing and misleading; the village that was there yesterday may not be there today. The two planes are called the Plane of the King and the Plane of the Queen, or more simply, the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Despite the overlapping, or perhaps because of it, similarities to Adylheim can often be perceived, such as geographic locations, and villages in the same place in all three planes, though the inhabitants are different. However, as mentioned before, things do not tend to stay in the same place for long. The exception to this rule is the very centre, or core of the two places, which house the Halls of the King and Queen. These two places are constant, and are where the rulers of Faerie hold court.

Elves are a race which in appearance are very similar to that of humans. They do, however, tend to be somewhat shorter than humans and they are often much lighter than humans due to their hollow bones. By most they are considered to be rather lazy and whimsical creatures and since they lack any kind of permanent settlements, this is not a claim without virtue.

Physical Characteristics

Elves are short, though they still manage to appear thin and elegant. Many are tall enough to be mistaken for adult humans. Their ears end in points, rather than round off like human ears, though this gives them no special advantages when it comes to hearing. Their skin colours range from a pale white to a dark black without this having any kind of cultural significance among them.

Dae'vol

The Dae'vol are a race of telepathic humanoids who live in a magical society south of the fiefdoms. They are generally slender and tall, with red to yellow skin striped with black. Dae'vol are incapable of communicating orally as they have no mouth. They make excellent magi and are in fact dependant on High Magic to stay alive.

Dragonkin

Dragonkin were created by the dragons to act as their servants. They are winged reptilian humanoids. Despite their reptilian appearance, they are warmblooded. They look much like dragons might have looked had they taken humanoid shape. Thanks to their hollow bones, Dragonkin are also lighter than a comparably sized human. Dragonkin live in temple cities on the tops of mountains which are rarely accessible except by flying.

High Aramic

The most spoken language in the Mainlands is Aramic. The language is usually divided into two dialects, Vulgar or Low Aramic and High Aramic. Both are mutually understandable but High Aramic uses a more intricate system of clauses and genders than Low Aramic. High Aramic is usually spoken by nobles and is the primary written language of the courts of the Mainlands.

Low Aramic

Low Aramic is the most common dialect and it has a number of different names. Some call it Vulgar Aramic, others Low Aramic, and some even call it Tradespeak, or simply Trade. It is spoken by most inhabitants of the Mainlands and is frequently used as a language for traders. Almost all business taking place in the Mainlands uses Low Aramic. Speaking the language in certain circles may be frowned upon due to its common nature.
