Introduction

It has long been known that a parallel world to our own exists - a magical realm where all manner of fantastic creatures dwell. Entrance to this world is not easy but even so, many people have passed through magical doorways and forever left this world of Albion for the land of the faerie. Thus it is that while many of the old people and tribes of the land and Erin have long since passed into memory by watered breeding or by way of fire and sword; in the land of the Faerie they have survived, even flourished and developed their culture. Thus may the ancient tribes of Catavellani rub shoulders with our Mercian folk in that fey land. For long years it was a world of peace, but following terrible wars in Erin between Lugh and Nuada against the Formorians led by Balor of the evil eye, the remnants of Balors defeated army escaped to faerie and set up a stronghold there. Their strength grew and there has ever been battles waged twixt formor and the free races of the faerie. It is said that in the southern parts of Dummnoni, there are the greatest number of entrance points in which a man can be wittingly or unwittingly be drawn into the land of the faerie - never to return. So many have passed into the fairie lands that they have gained large territory there. Naming it after their old home they record for future scholars their deeds, both great and terrible in aspect in a tome known as "The Dummnoni Chronicles"

Brother Alleri, Scholar - Mercia 951 ad (Translated from the Latin)

Menapi, Usipeti and Nervi let me tell you of the world of the free races. A world of high magic. Where the light of Lugh shines on the blades of great warriors and bring courage to their hearts, to take away their fear of the one who's eye means death. It is said that entrances to the Realm of the Fey can be found near Lugh Dunum, where many an Usipetian soul mysteriously disappeared over the last centuries. Rumours have it that there might be even some entrances in more remote places
