Lindestheas
Fey Courts with significant presence-
Population- 296397 Mostly made up of Goblins, Hobgoblins, Bugbears, Sea-Elves, Nereids and a small but very notable population of Hags
Notable Features-
The Wonder Lands- A surreal and ever-shifting region controlled directly by the Court of Wonders, filled with illusions, fantasy zones, and hidden contracts.
The Hospriteal- A house of healing run by overworked sprites, currently overwhelmed by casualties from the war with the Confederation.
The Pick-Sea Mines- Coastal mines operated by Pixies, extracting rare minerals and bioluminescent rock like creatures for both trade and magical use
Elf-Abet Acadamy- An elf run center of learning. They are famed for their Spelling Bee's, insects of impossible size that teach the secrets of the Arcane
The wandering Tavern- a tavern with no name, no sign, and no menu. it's not even always in the same place, but everyone knows it when they see it. they serve you exactly what you regret. someone you wronged might appear across the table to confront you. the server might bring you a sorely missed lost item that crumbles when you touch it. maybe someone sits next to you who looks exactly like you but younger, and disappointed. maybe they hand you a letter in your handwriting that you never wrote but should have. No one ever remembers leaving. you're just... not there anymore.
Culture- This culture of the land is ironically one of the more organized in the League, due in large part do their port and contact with the outside world. The chaotic nature of the fey blends with the mercantile and ruthless nature of the Oligarchy, creating a truly fascinating port town that is almost a parody of those found to it's east. Hobgoblins run some ships with ruthless efficiency while Nereids frolic carefree in the waters around them. Goblin's run parlors filled with games of chance while Nymphs occupy the backrooms behind them. Hag's offer you the opportunity to achieve your greatest desire for a price, while fairy's offer to merely make you think you all ready have.
History-
Once a chaotic tangle of independent fey enclaves, Lindestheas was eventually shaped into its current state by the influence of three powerful figures: Black Alis of the Court of Wonders, Wit Rabbit of the Court of Nee-love, and The Mad Hater of the Court of Hate. Together, they form an informal triumvirate that guides the province with a bizarre but stable unity.
They are occasionally joined by Members of The Court of Fairs , whose influence ensures celebrations remain elegant and effective across all Fey Courts. Under this loose alliance, Lindestheas has become both a beacon of Fey revelry and a strategic bulwark against the Confederation.
This is also the location of the annual Festival of the Lantern Bride, an event that is look forward to by many across the league with hopes to find their true love.
