Court of Yestermorrow
The Court of Yestermorrow is a place of profound historical significance and prophetic foresight. It is ruled by True Thomas, a once mortal human bound agelessly in the Feywild, known for his unparalleled wisdom and insight into both the past and the future. This court serves as a bridge between what has been and what is yet to come, revering the lessons of history and the mysteries of prophecy with equal devotion.
The Court of Yestermorrow is situated in an ethereal realm that blends the remnants of ancient grandeur with glimpses of what is yet to be. The landscape is a tapestry of shifting scenes from different eras, creating a mosaic of history and visions of the future. Ancient ruins stand beside futuristic spires, while timeless forests are interspersed with gardens that defy conventional time.
The Hall of Echoes is the central gathering place of the court. It is a vast, circular chamber with walls adorned in shimmering tapestries that depict historical events and prophetic visions. The floor is made of polished obsidian, reflecting images from the past and future. Grand arches frame windows that show scenes from both bygone eras and distant futures, shifting seamlessly between them.
The Garden of Memories is a serene, magical garden where time flows differently. Here, one can walk among trees and flowers that bloom with the memories of the past or glimpse future events as if they were tangible. The garden is also home to the Chrono-Stream, a mystical river that flows with the essence of time, its waters revealing fragments of history and glimpses of what is yet to come.
The Archives of Eternity is a vast library containing ancient tomes, scrolls, and artifacts. It is a place where knowledge of the past and predictions of the future are meticulously preserved. The library's shelves are ever-shifting, rearranging themselves to accommodate the endless expanse of recorded time.
True Thomas, or Thomas the Rhymer, was once a mortal man whose songs and poems carried an eerie prophetic weight. An early Daoine settler on the isles, Thomas' poems caught the attention of the fey and was tricked into entering the feywild where he ate and drank, binding him forever in the feywilds. His gifts of prophecy were so strong that he was able to navigate the trickery and deceptions placed before him and he eventually gained rulership of a fledgling court, which became the Court of Yestermorrow.
The Court of Yestermorrow, under the rule of True Thomas, stands as a testament to the enduring relationship between history and prophecy. It is a place where the past and future converge, offering wisdom and insight to those who seek to understand the broader tapestry of existence.
