Enjoy, and as always please feel free to ask me anything pertaining to this story!

Blessed Be!

The Weefolk refers to the collective races of the Courtless people’s that live in the realm of Tír na nÓg. They live far and wide and can be found in cities, forests, mountains, and rivers throughout the realm. A great majority of the Weefolk make their homes within the safety of the Greatwood Forest. The Weefolk have and affinity for the natural world largely because a great portion of the nomadic peopleś are elemental in nature, living in trees, rivers, and rocky caverns. They are peaceful peopleś who keep to themselves and rarely involved themselves in the political or religious realms of the Fae and Mankind. As they are part of the Courtless races of Tír na nÓg those that make their home in the Greatwood Forest are guarded by the Kentaros. Those who live outside of the Greatwood are protected by the sacred laws of the Goddess, however, due to their valuable elemental essence, many who live beyond the Greatwood are at greater risk of being poached. TheWeefolk are countless in number largely in part to their reclusive nature. They come in many shapes and sizes, each with a magical gift that harnesses elemental magic. Some of the more well known Weefolk are:

• Faunus
• Kelpie
• Pixie
• Trow
• Dryads
• Water Nymphs
• Brownies
• Puca
• Many More

These are but a few of the many mysterious and magical Weefolk that one can see while traversing the lands of Tír na nÓg.

The Kentaros are one of the Courtless races in the realm of Tír na nÓg. Commonly called The Wildfolk, Centaurs, orHorselords, the Kentaros hail from the vast and mysteries Greatwood Forest. The Wildfolk are primarily nomadic and thus, they do not have a settlement to call their capital. The herd is led by the Champion of the Greatwood, who is selected to lead the herd for life through a contest of strength. 

The Wildfolk are a primal people, who live in harmony with nature and are rarely seen outside of the Greatwood Forest. They are fierce people, who see themselves as guardians of the Weefolk of Tír na nÓg. The Wildfolk were born of the tempest winds. The Kentaros bear no sigil, but are affiliated with the Courtless peoples of Tír na nÓg.

The Faunus are their cousins. Also of the Courtless races. The Faunus are known for their skill as entertainers and for their intimate relationship with the forests. Although most Faunus reside in the forests of Tír na nÓg, some choose to live in the cities and settlements, the City Faunus are widely known for their skills as musicians and poets. While some are revered most City Faunu are ridiculed for their inability to control their excessive drinking. The Faunus celebrate life daily and give thanks for the abundance of life by gorging themselves on food and drink. This makes them a popular target for the other races. 

Forest dwelling Faunus do not fall pray to the same vice as their City kin. Most are seen as shepherds of the forest. They are considered a priestly caste for the Weefolk and those who live within the expanse of the Greatwood. They are sought for their intimate knowledge of the trees with which they share kinship.

Tomorrow, I will go over more of the Weefolk, which encompasses everything from Dryads, to Kelpies, to Pixies, etc, etc. 

I have two surprises for you and one big thank you!

One. Last night I did an interview regarding the creation and inspiration of The Lore of the Aos Sí, with one of our own Bards! I have yet to finalize the transcript, but I will be posting the transcript here in a couple days, so look forward to that. 

Two. I have decided to compile the extra Lore and Content into a companion guide for The Lore of the Aos Sí on Wattpad. I will be gathering all related content from here and organizing it into the companion, called The Song of the Goddess. Give me a few days on that and I will have it up for you to peruse. Here is the cover art I designed for the companion projecct. 

Lastly, I wanted to thank everyone who supported me in the adventure thus far. ALL OF YOU, have been invaluable to the progress of this campaign and its story. 

Yesterday was a huge day for the campaign, as we pulled in 10 Pre-Orders. Big Thanks to everyone who stepped up and gave the project a big boost! I am eternally grateful for everyone’s support. 

Look for more content in the morning, I think I will present you with The Weefolk of the GreatWood Forest. 

Have a grand evening,

Blessed Be,

The Jótun, The House Dragonbane, are one of the noble houses of Tír na nÓg. Commonly called The Mountain Folk, Giants, or Neckbreakers, the Jótun hail from The Shimmering Peaks. The seat of their power resides in The Forbidden Crags, an ancient fortress in the Far North. They are led by the Imperator of House Dragonbane. The Mountain Folk are a colossal people who guard the dominions against the destructive dragonkin of the Far North. 

They are a fierce, honor-driven people who’s steadfast vow to protect the other dominions has made them one of the most respected houses in Tír na nÓg. The Mountain Folk, were born of the blood of the sky during the darkness of the First Age. The Sigil of House Dragonbane is a cloud raining blood.

The Jótun much like their cousins the Weefolk are an incredibly physically diverse race. Their shapes are not uniform and they can appear in many different forms, ranging from humanoid to beast as depicted above. 

Day Three of The Lore of the Aos Sí World Tour!

The Aélfar, House Moontree, are one of the noble houses in Tír na nÓg. Commonly called The Aélfolk, Aélves, or shifters, the Aélfar hail from The Vale of Enon. The seat of their power resides in the city of Moon Grove. They are led by the Elder of the Aélfar who heads House Moontree. The Aélfolk are a religious, reverent people whose affinity for nature creates their strict moral code. Their union with nature makes them the swiftest and most sure-footed hunters in the dominions of Tír na nÓg. The Aélfolk, were born of the mists giving them unnatural swiftness against the fleet-footed soldiers of darkness. The Sigil of House Moontree is a moontree on an oaken shield.

While the High Born Aélfar resemble the aristocracy of the Tuatha Dé in their dress, they are rather different in demeanor. The Aélfar are a quiet culture, who speak when it is necessary, and do not concern themselves with frivolity.

The Aélfar have a sacred bond with the Moon and the Moon’s familiar, the wolf. The Timberwolf of the Vale is one of the most ferocious predators in all of Tír na nÓg. Some are so large that a smaller Aélfar adult could use them as a mount. Some of the elite warriors, the Mistwalkers do in fact ride their familiar into battle. Many of the same group can shift from their humanoid form into that of a Timberwolf, making them fierce combatants.

Day Two of The Lore of the Aos Sí World Tour - The Dweörg

The Dweörg, The House of Stonehome, are one of four noble houses in Tír na nÓg. Commonly called The Stone Folk, Dwarves, or Rockers, the Dweörg hail from The Ancient Heights. The seat of their power resides in the city of Bizaram. They are led by the Prime of Bizaram who heads House Stonehome. The Stone Folk are a hardy people who’s craftsmanship is unmatched due in large part to their lordship over the Gnomos of Faleris. They are a cunning people who’s shrewd nature has made House Stonehome one of the wealthiest dominions in the known world. The Stone Folk, were born of primordial stone to shield the dominions from the darkness of the first age. The Sigil of House Stonehome is a stone fist.

Cheers!

I am reaching out today to start a tour of the Lore of the Aos Sí. I will take you on a tour of the antediluvian world. We will uncover the peoples (folks) of Tír na nÓg and Tir nam Beo. We will go on a journey to see the landmarks, cities, towns, and regions of both. We will examine the cultures of the ancient world.

I will start out the series with daily updates that will cover the peoples of Tír na nÓg. First up are the Tuatha Dé. 

The Tuatha Dé, House of Starlight, are the preeminent race in the dominions of the antediluvian world. Commonly the Tuath Dé are referred to as the Fair Folk, Fairies, orWingers. They hail from the Fomorian Valley of the realm of Tir na nÓg. The seat of their power resides in the capital city of Formene, otherwise known as the Eternal City. They are ruled by the High King Dagda Starlight, the first druid, who sits upon the Starlit Throne of the Summer Court, to which all races in the realm of Tír na nÓg pay tribute.

The Fair Folk are ageless, immune to most disease, and adept in the arcane arts. Though ageless the Tuatha Dé can be killed and it is said that only weapons that have been twisted by the dark fire can lay a mortal blow against them. They are a prideful, high-born race of people who see themselves as transcendent when compared to the other folk throughout the dominions, especially when it comes to the banal folk/exiled tribes of mankind. 

The Fair Folk were born of pure starlight to illuminate the darkness of the First Age. The Sigil of the House of Starlight is a three-pointed star, known to some as the triskele or triquetra which symbolizes the three aspects of the Great Goddess. 

As always if you have questions, please reach out. I adore engaging with my readers!

Cheers!
