The Faerie Kingdom

History

After the Elari made their migration from the chaotic wilds of Pandemonium, to occupy and control the prime plane of Lorithandar itself, the Faerie Ascendancy voted to follow them and contest their control… intending to possess the prime plane for themselves.

While the Elari leveraged their planar power by forging massive permanent gates to the outer planes from their megacities within Elarum, the Faerie found another path, through the construction of their greatest work… the Faerie Kingdom.

It was envisioned that the Faerie race would construct a perfect home that combined all of the comforts and safety of the Seelie court, with impenetrable defenses, and the ability to be accessed by all Faerie anywhere in the planes. This home could travel with them wherever the war followed, providing perfect security for the faerie for all time.

An undertaking of this complexity and size would require the greatest minds of the Ascendancy, a persistent Nexus of tremendous power, and absolute control over Magecraft itself. Settling themselves in Lorithandar, the first faerie to arrive located the strongest Nexus of Prime magic in all of Lorithandar, located on a large island off the western coast of Trevas. This would be the tether that would feed the grand design. Even the Ascendants among the faerie leaders could not create such a massive magical construct by themselves… however the Elari had demonstrated that tremendous control over a form of magic could be obtained by controlling it’s physical embodiment; one of the Dragon Gods.

When the Elari chained Sudreth, the Dragon Goddess of Sorcery to their dark aims, the Faerie retaliated by capturing Tyrath, the Dragon God of Magecraft. With his raw power at their command, the Faerie were able to build the Faerie Kingdom… a sprawling extradimensional realm continually fed magical energy from the Dragon God and the Nexus. When the Elder God Kao freed Sudreth from her chains, this inequity between the sides lead to the eventual victory of the Faerie, and the retreat of the Elari to their new homeland of Elarum, where they have largely remained for tens of thousands of years.
