1. #1Alferiaselective

   Keys: Alferia, codex-map

   Alferia is the kingdom of the Fae. It is hidden by magic on a large continent that humans cannot see. It's located on Earth at the Pythagorean Triangle, which causes planes and boats to sink near it. Storms and tornadoes also keep people away. Sometimes, however, humans can get to the island - but it's dangerous for them. The continent Alferia is seperated in three large islands, one small island, two large lakes inbetween the islands and the surrounding ocean. The bottom island is seperated in two kingdoms - Nauceria(air) and Varsselia(water).

   Alferia is home to the High Fae, the Low Fae, and the Common Fae. The High Fae are the most powerful, while the Common Fae mostly have no powers. The low fae are beasts, brutally dangerous to all but the high fae.

   Alferia is parted in five kingdoms, seperated in elements - Nauceria (air), Teros (fire), Varsselia (water), Idrasil (earth), Perios (spirit). All of those kingdoms are ruled by high fae.

   In Alferia Magic flows through everything. The Island is incredibly magical.

2. #2Humansselective

   Keys: Human, Humans

   In Alferia, humans are seen as nothing more than playthings, pigs, and things to be teased and enslaved. Very rarely do humans gain the respect of the Fae. Being with a human is considered shameful, and there are not many stories of a High Fae falling in love with a human. High Fae are always superior to humans.

   Humans can become High Fae if they are heroes or do something great for the Fae. They must have the approval of all five High Fae Lords, and then they too are transformed into a Fae.

   Ordinary humans should not wander around Alferia, as it's full of dangerous, deadly and bloodthirsty low Fae. Human blood is a delicacy, so it is dangerous for them to walk alone in Alferia. Many high Fae are also very dangerous to humans. If a human eats the fruit or drinks the wine offered by a Fae, he must serve the Fae as a slave forever, doing whatever they tell him to do - which often ends in scandal.

   The lifespan of a human is automatically increased in Alferia. Humans can live up to three hundred years in the Fae realm without ever growing old and wrinkly.

3. #3Low Faeselective

   Keys: Low Fae

   Low Fae are the most dangerous creatures in all the kingdoms. Usually soldiers and High Fae kill them as quickly as possible when they cross the border, but some sneak into the forests. There are creatures such as:

   • Dattero (a creature that stalks you through the forest and takes the form of your worst nightmare before devouring you. As long as you stay still and don't move, the creature will go away. They are very dangerous and rare.)
   • Oterian (Can impersonate lovers and family members to lure a person in, only to grow sharp teeth and devour them).
   • Spinner(A spider-like creature that lives in the forest. Huge, and once you're in a spider's web, it's impossible to escape.)
   • Sirens(Mermaid-like creatures that live in the oceans around the kingdoms and in the lakes. They lure with music and only High Fae are immune. They devour humans and common Fae.)
   • Mirrorers(Can completely mirror your appearance. They devour you and take your place.)

   In general, it's dangerous for humans everywhere except in the mansions of high lords.

4. #4Nauceriaselective

   Keys: Nauceria, codex-map · Secondary: Alverian, Ilonia

   A beautiful kingdom ruled by Alverian, located to the south-east of Alferia. Nauceria is known for its eternal spring, its floating islands and looks beautiful, covered with many flowers and beautiful gardens. The gardens are full of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and lilies. The large island is divided into Nauceria and Varsselia and has beautiful warm beaches. There is a large border in the middle of the island, which is constantly patrolled by border guards. Nauceria is the kingdom of the air, and because of this all the high Fae in the kingdom can control the air - the High Lord of Nauceria being the strongest of them all. The High Lord's mansion is located on one of the floating islands, directly next to Ilonia, the main city of Nauceria.

   The most dangerous Fae in Nauceria (Low Fae):

   • The Walker (a wild pig-like beast with razor-sharp teeth that has a very good smell and stalks it's prey for hours)
   • Sirens (in lakes)
   • Mirrorer (in forests)
   • Harpys (thieves, dangerous, often found flying around floating islands)

   Common Fae:

   • Winged Fairies (playful, like to braid hair and pick roses for people they like. They often serve the high lords and ladies)
   • Spirit Weavers (small fairy-like creatures that glow very brightly. It is said that if you catch one, it will fulfil your wish to be released. However, they are very difficult to catch)
5. #5Unionselective

   Keys: Union, soul mate, soul mates

   The Union is a magical moment that happens very rarely - it happens when you find your soul mate, and is a sign of immense magic that any non-human can feel very intensely. The red string of destiny can be seen between the two people once the union has taken place - but only the couple can see it. Once the union has taken place, both parts must decide whether or not to accept the mating bound between them, which is traditionally done at a sacred festival in the holy temple. The festival is similar to a wedding and requires both to speak if they accept the sacred union or not. Under no circumstances can they be separated, once the union was accepted by both.

   Once they accept their fate and stay together, a couple will develop abilities such as feeling each other's intense emotions even when they are far apart. They also develop the ability to teleport directly to their partner. Finding a soul mate is very rare and is always seen as a positive blessing. That is, if both are High Fae or Fae of any kind. A union with a human is often seen as a tragedy, but it can happen. Soulmates should not be apart, as they begin to feel depressed without the other. Soulmates can also feel each other's strong emotions and sometimes even read part of each other's minds if the connection is strong enough at that moment.

6. #6Periosselective

   Keys: Perios · Secondary: Bone eater

   Perios is a kingdom with a lot of mountains, waterfalls and valleys. It lied in the north-east of Varsselia and a whole irland belongs to it. It's ruled by two high fae lords that possess feather wings. Common fae called Eeithians also have feathers wings and look very similar to the high fae. They usually live in tree houses high up in the sky and for people without wings it's impossible to reach those houses. The two high Fae lords are siblings, both have wings and live in a Castle high up in the mountains. Perios is known for their large mines with gold, silver and jewelry and also hold the biggest market for those products, which makes them the richest kingdom of them all. Perios people also have a natural love for the stars and the universe, having the so called "house of portals". Perios however is seen as a danger to most other kingdoms - therefore there is almost constantly war.

   Common Fae:

   • Eeithians(live up in treehouses, strong warriors, strong instincts, live in tribes and are used in the high fae lords army).
   • Dwarfs(live in the mountains and most of them work in the mines).

   Low Fae:

   • Harpy's(apparently are supposed to be the ancestors of Eeithians. They are wild, deadly and have long wings and claws. They play with their prey and kill it then).
   • Bone eater(very dangerous low fae who takes the form of something innocent like a child and plays with it's target, telling it that it can fill full their wishes. It lures them in a dark corner and kills them with it's growling claws.)

   Locations:

   • Sereth(Main city int he heart of Perios).
   • Lawrian Mountainpass Prison(North-east of Perios)
   • Holy Temple(south-east of Perios on a small island at the ocean)

   Human population: None. The Lord's don't have human slaves, as they don't want to have anything to do with humans. If humans trespass, mostly Harpy's devour them or Eeithians have fun with them until exhaustion.

7. #7High Faeselective

   Keys: High Fae · Secondary: High Lord, High Lady

   High Fae are the Fae of noble blood and the most powerful of the Fae. They are beautiful, elegant, have pointy ears, and the High Lords or Ladies of the High Fae have so much power that everyone else must be under them. But they are also bound by traditions, rules and duties, and rarely have time for themselves. In general, High Fae are not very fertile, having only one child every hundred years.

   High Fae can live up to a thousand years. High Fae are mostly noble Fae with powers, depending on which cpurt they belong to. All High Fae have the magical elemental abilities of the court they belong to (Water, Fire, Earth, Water, Spirit), but only the Lords and Ladies are the strongest of all.

   High Fae mate in much the same way as humans, but they can also find their soul mate and form a magical bond with them. When they find their soul mate, magic happens in that moment and they feel as if the whole world around them is blurred for a second. This moment is called 'union'. However, it is possible for one of them to reject the union, which often results in the rejected being depressed and bitter for eternity.

8. #8Eeithianselective

   Keys: Eeithian

   A race of dangerous, winged common Fae who often live in tribes with a male or female leader. They are known to be born warriors, and when they are children (usually between 5 and 10 years old), their parents usually throw them into the wilderness to see if they survive. If the child returns alive after years, it's considered strong and is allowed to be a member of the tribe, otherwise it's killed by the wilderness.

   Many see the Eeithians as wild, almost savage and instinct driven, but some have changed and serve the High Lord in Perios as his warriors to prove that they are honourable. Living in tribes, the Eeithians have a strong aversion to outsiders (sometimes brutally killing and maiming them) and to politics, sometimes even refusing to speak to their own kind if they work for the High Lord.

   Terian is one of the Eeithians who sought change, turning away from the primitive traditions of his tribe to serve the High Lord.

   Because of their bad reputation, not every Eeithian likes to have wings, as it's a sign of their kind. However, in sexual intercourse, their wings are very sensitive and give them the greatest pleasure when properly touched.

9. #9Varsseliaselective

   Keys: Varsselia

   Varsselia is the Kingdom of water and lies in the south-west of Alferia. High Fae born in Varsselia can control the powers of water, with their High lord being the strongest water manipulator in Alferia.

10. #10Idrasilselective

    Keys: Idrasil

    An underground kingdom ruled by Willian, located in the heart of Alferia, with a small island as the entrance to the "underworld", as they call it. Idrasil is the kingdom of "Earth" and the high fae born here are able to control the powers of earth. On the island there is a huge tree that the Idrasil call the "Hometree". Its roots extend deep underground, where their ancestors created a cave system and cities with a subterranean sun summoned by the first High Fae to exist. Because of its vast history, Idrasil is considered a sacred place, and many of the people of the Holy Temple live in Idrasil or visit the place every year for the Holy Festivals.

    Festivals: At the New Year's Festival, held once a year, it's traditional for the High Lord to give a blessing to all the other kingdoms in the area. All fae from other kingdoms are allowed to attend - they sing, feast and dance in the Idrasil main city: Overos. At night, in the middle of the feast, the High Lord must mate with a person of his choice in the sacred temple of Idrasil - it is said to be a sign of fertility, new beginnings, and new life. At this time, the High Lord is wilder, almost ferocious, and has white, glowing paint all over his body. The tradition has to happen and it is not allowed to change it. Usually this is done either as a one night stand or with a mated partner.

    Civilisation: Idrasil is considered the safest place in Alferia, as the population is very controlled. Idrasil is a large underground civilisation with beautiful fantasy architecture, large buildings, glowing flowers and small animals with illuminated fur. There are no dangers, and Idrasil is populated almost entirely by High Fae and common Fae. Idrasil is also the only kingdom that allows humans to live like common Fae. Although humans are still treated harshly, Idrasil is the best place for them to survive.

    Entrance: A small harbour on the small overworld island in the center of Alferia has a lift that leads to the underground city. It is the only known way in and always very crowded.

11. #11Terosselective

    Keys: Teros, Zarros

    Teros is an Island in Alferia and lies to the north-west of Alferia. Teros is known as the Kingdom of Fire, allowing the born people of Teros to control the element of fire. There are many active volcanoes in the Kingdom of Fire, but the kingdom is also considered to be very tropical and the warmest of all, with a normal climate of 30 degrees. The people of Teros prefer to have villages and cities on the beaches, but there is a hidden city, Alria, in the mountain pass of Teros. Teros is generally considered to be a very weak kingdom, but it was recently discovered that the High Lord, Zarros, was hiding Alria from Alferia. Alria is a very prosperous city within the mountain pass and looks very artistic. It is the city of entertainment with fire dancers, artists and singers - now from all over Alferia. It is known that the High Lord is not often in his estate, but has enough people to take care of his kingdom.

    Teros is very popular for its fiery people, artists, entertainers, geysers and of course its thermal baths, which are warmed by the underground volcanoes and have a pleasant temperature. The castle of Teros lies at the southern beach of the Island.

    Festivals: The High Lord of Teros traditionally hold a summer festival on the beach of Teros, to which only their closest relatives and friends are invited - such as Lord Heathon and his family, and the High Lords of Varsselia and Idrasil. High Lords call it "the time of rest and holiday". For many, it feels like a luxurious holiday to be invited to the summer festivals of Teros.

12. #12House of Portalsselective

    Keys: House of Portals

    The House of Portals is a place in Sereth that is only accessible to the High Lords of Perios and their family. It is said that the ancient Fae, through their magic with astronomy and their spiritual abilities, were able to create portals to every existing world - and those portals are in the House of Portals. However, no living person has ever entered this house, and the Lords Keep is closed and hidden - not all is well with this house.

    History: The existence of the House of Portals was proven three hundred years ago when an alien army attacked Alferia. The High Lords had to come together and use their powers to save the world. After that, the portals in the House of Portals were shut down, and only a book hidden somewhere in Alferia has the spell to reactivate the doors to other worlds. Until then, the High Lords protect the House of Portals with their lives. Everyone knows about the existence of the House, but no one dares to speak about it due to its history and horrors.

13. #13Hometreeselective

    Keys: Hometree

    The story goes that the Hometree was planted by the first High Lord of Idrasil (Itawaris) and the strongest Fae that ever existed. The story goes that the Hometree symbolises the beginning of a new life and is the heart of Alferia, which is why the Sacred Temple is often seen holding prayers and festivals on the island. The Hometree has great roots that lead to Idrasil - the home world of all Idrasil people.

    Itawaris is known in Alferian history as the strongest Fae and the hero of the world after defeating the Maucherian Beast. The Maucherian Beast was said to be a great cosmic beast that, according to legend, ate half the world. Itawaris was the one who protected the rest of the Fae and created Alferia as the heart of the world, with the Hometree beating within it and reminding all Alferians of his heroic deed.

14. #14Iloniaselective

    Keys: Ilonia

    Ilonia is the capital city of Nauceria and sits atop a large mountain. It is the home of the element Air and is surrounded by floating islands - some of which have villages and houses, while others are forested areas with cascading waterfalls.

    Ilonia is considered to be a very beautiful and magical city with the highest trading power in Alferia, having the largest marketplace with hundreds of stalls.

    The wingless High Fae are all owners of gliders, which allow them to fly around the city without wings. There are also Pegasus, which are winged horses that carry flying carriages around the city and out of town. The "flying pegasus taxi" is also Ilonia's way of transporting guests from one city to another.

    Keys: Oterian, forest

    

    The Oterian is a very dangerous type of low Fae that can pose as a lover or family member to lure a human, only to grow sharp teeth and devour them. In its original form, the Oterian stands two metres tall, with long clawed arms and a humanoid body. However, its head is very small and its eyes glow red. When it devours, its head splits open to form a petal-like mouth with razor-sharp teeth. Its saliva is very acidic and causes a painful burn. It is known to lurk in Alferia's forests. It is only scared of High Fae and does not dare to get close to them, especially fire High Fae, as its greatest weakness is sunlight and fire.
