Tír Síoraí is a hidden realm that exists within the Peripheral Cosmos. It has been referred to throughout history by many different names; some call it the Faewood, others the Dreamlands. Few know of it. Fewer call it home.
It is an echo of Croft suffused with potent magic, both Arcane and of the Dream, but unlike the waking world the Tír Síoraí seems acutely suited to harboring this wild, chaotic flux of energy. Tír Síoraí is a place of unrestrained and awe-inspiring natural beauty. Its untamed and ever-expansive forests are always bathed in the twilight of the rising sun. The great moon Somal can equally be seen here, only larger and more wonderfully grandiose.
Visitors to Tír Síoraí find that all sensations, both sensory and emotional, are heightened. Smells are stronger, colors are more vivid, and sounds are clearer, but at the same time shadows are darker and impulses are harder to control. Strong emotions even alter the landscape itself, wilting flowers trailed the despondent or furious and carefree animals travel alongside chipper and cheerful individuals.
Tír Síoraí has given three names to its distinct regions.
The Wood of Bohem
The Wood of Bohem encompasses the grand swath of land that centralizes the realm. It is home to both civilization and fringe-folk, beasts and beings, and it is as dangerous as it is magnificent. Its dense forest of ancient, gargantuan trees gives way to mountains standing straighter and sharper, rivers flowing clearer and faster, flowers bloom brighter and more fragrantly, and weather manifesting in strange, supernatural ways.
The Waveless Sea
The Waveless Sea is the single ocean that besets Tír Síoraí's single continent. It is entirely mirrored, with no ripples to tarnish its perfect reflection. The great many beings that swim beneath its invisible current range from gargantuan to miniscule, but all are equally quiet. Nary is there a sound to be heard in all of its furtive depths.
The Reach
The Reach is the holistic term for the many connected, disconnected, and solitary caverns, caves, shafts, and schisms deep below Tír Síoraí's surface. The Reach extends even further than the depths of the Waveless Sea and is divided into three unique layers. The Upperreach exists within the first 3 miles below the surface. It is here where surface dwellers and those in the The Reach most often meet. The Middlereach is located 3 to 10 miles below the surface and is where many of the disparate caverns converge. Those who call the The Reach home tend to reside in this layer. The Lowerreach exists beyond 10 miles or more below the surface. The Lowerreach is where even those who knew the The Reach were loath to go. There is an old adage those on the surface would speak when discussing the Lowerreach . "If you think it’s impossible, it happens in the Lowerreach."
