We know the Greensingers are out there, but they don't seem to do a hell of a lot. So, who's come up with good stuff on Thelanis and the Fey? |
| Syltorian04-20-07, 07:28 AM | Keith Baker has come up with a lot, of course. :D Have you read Gates of Night, his last novel in the Dreaming Dark Trilogy? It has a good deal on Thelanis, and would undoubtedly be useful to you. My memory is a bit hazy about it at the moment, though, but I'll try to reconstruct - it's spoilers, of course, so do not look beneath the black marker if you do not wish to be told what happens in parts of the novel. Thelanis is a realm of stories. If there is a myth in the real world, it will be reflected in Thelanis. When Daine and company travel to Thelanis, they encounter creatures from the myths and stories their drow companion has grown up with. It is not clear whether Eberron has the myths it has because travellers came across them in Thelanis, or whether it works the other way around, and Thelanis replays myths given rise in mortal imagination, though. Thelanis is composed of several areas, connected via portals. Most are tied to various phases of the moon, and probably of the sun also. Thus one area is always dusk, with no change whatsoever. The fey lords and ladies that rule these realms may have non-fey servants, such as mortals that were adopted, perhaps even stolen (?) from the mortal world. The book doesn't touch on the other inhabitants/natives of the plane, however, namely, the Eladrin. |
