The Immortal Forest

The Immortal Forest is the magical home plane of the fey and other magical creatures. It has forests with magic, sea's, oceans animals and beasts. Ealdir (god of nature and animals) sometimes wanders in the forest, looking out for the nature and the animals, but his primary location is unknown even among the creatures living in The Immortal Forest. It is a land of soft lights and wonder. It is a realm of everlasting twilight with glittering faerie lights bobbling in a gentle breeze and fireflies buzzling though groves and fields. The sky is alight with faded colors of a ever-setting sun, which never truly sets or rises; it remains stationary, dusky and low in the sky. Away from settled areas rules by the Seelie fey, the land is a tangle of sharp-toothed brambled and syrupe fens.   The Immortal forest exists in parallel to the Material Plane, an alternate dimension that occupies the same cosmological space. The landscape of the Immortal Forest mirrors the Material plane, but with more extravagant detail and wonder. Where a volcano stands on the Material Plane, a mountain topped with skyscraper-sized crystals that glow with internal fire towers in The Immortal Forest.   Inhabitants: The inhabitants of The Immortal Forest varies in temperament from kind to malicious, but almost all have a mischievous side to them and few stop and considers the need or worries of visitors to their home. All manner of fey creatures is found in The Immortal forest such as elves (elandrin), dryads, satyrs, pixies and sprites as well as centaurs and magical creatures such as blink dogs, faerie dragons, treants and unicorns. The Darker regions of the plane are home to more malevolent creatures such as hags, blights, goblinoids, ogres and giants There is also many beasts living in The Immortal Forest.   Most fey serves one of two godlike archfey, either the Summer or Winter Queen (also known as the Queen of Air & Darkness), who shares an ancient and bitter Rivalry. Those who belongs to the summer queen's court Seelie court is generally good-aligned fey and represent or celebrate the beauty of nature. They are known to be honorable towards visitors, but they do not welcome non-fey to their court. Those who belongs to the Winter Queen's Unseelie Court generally evil-aligned fey and represent or celebrate the darker and more macabre aspects of the natural world. They are generally more dangerous and untrustworthy in their dealing with visitors, however they are known to be more welcoming of non-fey into their court. The Unseelie court works tirelessly to undermine the Seelie court, sometimes violently, but more often through games and cruel mischief.   The remaining inhabitants of The immortal Forest hold no allegiances except to their own whims or serves another archfey. Uglier inhabitants, such as fomorians and hags are generally not welcome amongst either the Seelie or Unseelie Courts
