Fae Kingdom



The Fae Kingdom is the home and birthplace of the fae. It can only be accessed through an invitation received from a faerie, with not even a God being able to enter without one. This place is also referred to as Tir na nOg, Avalon, and Elysium by humans.

Overview
Few tales exist of the Fae Kingdom that hold any truth to them. This is thanks to old human tales from those who visited and returned, but were claimed mad by other when trying to relate their experience. These stories became twisted over time and other fictitious accounts were often merged with them over time.

Time moves differently in the Fae Kingdom than in the human world, with the fae experiencing time at a much faster rate than humans. Visiting humans do not age, resulting in those who leave emerging to a world many months or even years after their initial visit while remaining physically unchanged. Another effect on humans is the density of magic in the kingdom, which causes dramatic and irreversible changes in human bodies. A human who remains in the kingdom too long will inevitably become a faerie themselves, their body taking on the form of one faerie or another.

There is no true ruler over the kingdom, instead there is a strength-based system of laws. Those who are more powerful have say over what happens to the weaker fae and those who visit the kingdom. Even so, rarely do any such laws get put into action as the fae are a mostly loner race, preferring to solve disputes on a personal level than to involve outside parties. The only time the fae will deal with something as a collective is regarding offenses done by outsiders, especially if done by a human, who the fae in general have a natural distaste for.

Fae rarely travel outside of the Fae Kingdom, the ones who do seeming to have the rare preference for outside company. The sprites are even rarer occurrences of fae who would prefer small pranks and harmless mischief over the manipulation and violent tendencies of the fae majority.
