Portals to Fae Worlds-2013

'Portals to Fae Worlds'

Faeries are able to cross into our world and we can't be transported to their land of promise as it is spoken of in some ways. The Irish poet W.B.Yeats imaged this crossing of two world as a magnetic pushing - pulling attraction for one another. We need  the Fae world because it represents everything that is possible beyond our routine lives and offers transformation & enlightening creativity.They need us to bring them to life, but the two can never fuse - we are as unlike as day and night  - And like day & night we define each other.

For those brave enough to seek faeries, elves, and other magical creatures! There are doorways to these other worlds even today in the 21th century. 

Sometimes we might stumble upon them. They might even be a opened to admit entry to those the Fae need; fiddlers, midwives are good examples of humans that they may need- 

In modern Fae tales, it is the child who reaches to the other world- but more and more, I've found the adults are looking too. The world is not a kind and fun loving place in these modern days of the 21th century. And its not just children looking for an escape. So they to find that old Oak Tree base in the forest or maybe its in your local park. It seems that everyone is curious & are brave to walk through these different worlds, portal hole & realms.

There are many examples throughout the world that humans have found their way to the world of faeries- They are all around us it just they have evolved in a way that the human eye can see them like in ancient times - a million years ago. They are waiting for us to find a way in.

For one might be in Welsh Ireland who might find a door in a rock by a faerie lake given sufficient curiosity and resolution, he opens it and is conducted along a secret passage to an faeries realm-

In America the Iroquois summons little spirits by knocking on a decreed large stone & there are even more who tried to test other methods- German legend has it that touching a primrose on a floral faerie door will open the route to their castle-

Some reported seeing a door, ajar on the  hilltops, earth mounds, or stone tombs -  are perhaps  places where you would see faerie folk dressed for a celebration in the candle lit interior- the figure of British legend child Roland enters elfland on a quest to save his sister by circling a green terraced mound three times widershins, against the tuning of the sun, repeating reach time the words-

"Open, door! open, door!

And let me cone in,"

Scottish faeries cry " Hose and Hattock' to get  home. Echo the call and you, too, might be teleported. "                 

Silver & White Dragons-2013

Silver & White Dragons~

White Dragons-

White Dragons are among the wisest dragons there are. Perhaps because they are associated with the light and righteousness. Though White Dragons are considered wise, most stories tell them as evil as well, because they never tell the truth. It is also the meaning or Symbol of - morning for the Eastern White Dragons & said to be an omen of death. But the Chinese did not deem the White Dragon evil, they were symbols of the South.

White Dragons - Ice Dragons - Glacial Dragons are physically the smallest of the dragons even the Black Dragons- They appear in shades from white to grey & Ice blue. And in Arctic environments. This appearance serves as a good camouflage. White Dragons are physically distinguished by several features. Their heads and necks seem to bend seamlessly into one another and their wings appear somewhat frayed along the edges. They have flap of skin, called dewlap, lined with spines beneath their chins. Their heads are very streamlined and have a high crest on top of their skulls. They have a crisp, vaguely chemical odor to them-

 White Dragons toes are spaced more widely than other dragons - with barbed claws to aid movement on the ice. Their very thin eyelids prevent snow blindness when observing the arctic landscapes-

They have an icy breath that can freeze an unprepared foe solid in a instant. They also have exceptional memories & will often hunt down beings who have cross them no matter how long it  may take- They are not cruel as the black dragons and are not as ferocious as the Red dragons but they are still one not to make angry.

 Silver Dragons-

Silver Dragons are thought to be very reflective and thoughtful.They are also the second most powerful of the metallic dragons. They are true friends to all- The Silver Dragons enjoy the company of humans & elves so much that they often take the form of a human or elf, and live among them for the majority of their lives. 

It should be noted that Silvers -like all dragons believe themselves to be the most superior creatures in the world. However apart from the ability to fly, which they enjoy greatly, they tend to prefer the physical forms of humans or Elves  for everyday life. Aft first glance the Silver dragon appeals very much like the White dragon. Their wings curved rather than the White dragons. Also they have two Talons on their wings rather than the single Talon of most dragons. The Silver dragons also have a beautiful Frill that begins at the top of its head and flows all the way down its neck & body to the tip of its tail. The frill is Silver toward the body, then fading to a purple hue at the edge. They have two long smooth silver horns with black tips pointing up, back from their heads. And they have a pronounced sharp frill under their chin which has the rough appearance of a goatee. Kinda weird Ah... Get this the Silver Dragon smells like rain. Go figure!

They are very intelligent - more so than humans - extremely powerful - Breathtaking to look At - And is one of my favorite dragons. 
The Silver Dragon is regal and statuesque. An unusual trait they offer is the love of human dining. And it's not what you might think. It's not the usual dragon dining on or eating humans. Remember they love to be in the form of a human for the majority of their lives! So This unusual dining that the Silver Dragon offers to his beloved humans or my guess to the elves too. The Dragon will alternate his form to part take in these human dining feasts. I'm sure being the eloquent dragon that he is; he probably picks Royalty Kin party's. And he probably even host some of these parties being that he lives a majority part of his live as a human or elf. He probably has a castle of his own. 
As to his dragon powers - The Silver Dragon is an amazing dragon, besides his love to be a human form. 
I have found that so far he is the only dragon that has two different breath weapons-

They have the same extreme cold breath weapon as the White Dragon+And paralyzing gas breath weapon.
So for a dragon that loves manlike or elven kin, one has to wonder with his most dangerous two breath weapons. And his love to be around them so much. Makes you kinda wonder. Yet still the Silver dragon is still my favorite dragon.

I will be going over other types of dragons in my blog. As I find more that are interesting.

'The Shur - Drow'-2013

The Shur-Drow-
The shur-drow are a deadly crossbreed of a drow & a demon. They are commanders and magicians of the highest order. They hold no drow as their master. They consider only the Gods to be their equal or better. Shur-drows are considered by surface dwellers, Yet few elves, faeries, pixes or even human have survived an encounter with an shur-drow. To be touched by one is like the Assimar  & its demon usually means death-

Personalities ~
The shur-drow are beyond the word vain, even more so than Ye - random - Drow. They are ambitious & will not let anything stand in their way to achieve what they want. Being it going to the toilet of the world of domination..
~Just funny shur-drow humor but in their own way, it can be very dangerous in other ways.

Appearance~The shur-drow is much more variable than that of the Drow. Though most shur-drow's sport the obsidian/darkgray skin of their cousins  -Drow's. Though really & fancy combination between a shur -drow and demon is possible. Often resulting in monstrously tall humanoids with wings, horns,fangs &claws. Their hair & eye color is variable, though it is most likely to be that of one of their parents or a combination of both.

Relation with other Races~ 
They have a general better than thou attitude toward everything and everybody. They only see the Gods themselves as their equals or better. They take order from no one but themselves & will ignore everyone that tries to tell them what to do. - If they don't kill the individual slowly and painfully first.

Society & Leadership~
Their society is much like that of their demon kin-
Utter Chaos -

Those that are the strongest, the vilest  & the cunniest rule their ranks - Be that a male or female or something in between! Now that's kinda creep & interesting at the same time.

Language & Shur - Drow Names -
Most shur -drow people speak both their abbssal tonque & that of the drow. And some  communities of the shur-drow are known to develop their own dialect between both languages'. Names & such are often a combination of demon and the drow names mingled together to form on a nasty combination. Nicknames such as 'The bloody' or 'The dread'- these are more the the common names.

Shur-drow  Traits:
Shur-drow's are medium sized with a base speed of 30feet if on foot. If they can fly its about 60ft.
They are immune to sleep, poison & electricity spells & the effects of the enchantment spells of their cousin the drows. They also have an resistance to cold, fire and acid. They can communicate telepathically with any type of creature within a 100foot radius that knows their language-
They have light blindness - Lightblindness & abrupt exposure to bright light gives a certain type of penalty. Their favor class is the Black Guard - 


In The World of the Shur-Drow~
The first one is Malaggar Anvar, He is the lord of the Shur-Drow in a ruin near Gor-gornoth. He is a crossbreed of a Drow and a Balor. This makes him roughly  6 feet tall & sometimes even taller. He also is known as a Malaggar the Drad or 'The DreadOne'.
There is a Second Lord called Linneria Morriganna Baern ~ 
Idrill - Now she is a crossbreed of a Drow and a Succubus (you might have seen tis fae in the T.V. show 'Lostgirl')

What she looks like -  Linneria Morriganna Bearn or Idrill - her shor name - Looks much like any other Drow woman But she's much more round shape in the curves then your average drow woman. She has no wings or Talons like that of the Lord Malaggar Anvar - But she does have the seductive powers of the Succubus - and the look of any average drow woman. 
Her last name is combined became she is married to the High Warlord and Monarch Gor-gornoth -Malaggar -Anvar~ 
So - Her name is Meldor Istorr Idrill - the High warlord And Monarch of Gor - gornoth.

Notes~

 The Shur -drows are a little different than the Drows. They are a cross-breed of a drow & demon. And  more times then not, it is not the drow's choosing to join the demons. Since drows live deep in the underground they do come across evil duellers all the time. These demons usually prey on the out casts of the large drow cities. Ones that are alone with no family - no hope. So the demon will say that they will give them a better life if you will join their people. This is where you get a Shur-drow. And lots of Slaves. But over time of the cross - breeding of the Drow & Demons - A New group of people were created and developed their own power. Their own Commanders, Magicians, House of High Order, & held no Drow or Demon as their Master - They considered themselves as their own race - As Gods themselves - equal or better than their counter parts.

'Ghost Elves'-2013

Ghost Elves ~ are a sub-race of the elves, that has perhaps had the most tragic of all pasts...

Centuries ago, before the Dark Elves were banished from Toril, they viciously attacked a High Elf City.

Unable to stand up to the Military might of the Drow, they sent out a call for help. But none of their elven allies came to their aid - in fact that's the one thing that the ghost elves have never forgotten. Eventually, help came in the form of a man named Thule.

~Thule offered to save them from the Dark elves in return for their service. The leaders of the city, appalled by the slaughter of their people, agreed without a second thought.

~Thule then revealed himself to be a pit friend of almost God - like powers & whisked the elves to his home in the Nine Hell of Baator. For centuries, the ghost elves served as slaves to the devils - working or fighting in cruel arena's battles. Their time in a foreign plane, cut off from the elf bond with the land, and almost completely destroyed their spirits -

~Their appearance also change giving them a glowing white skin and their eyes turned almost mirror- like. Eventually a ghost elf leader struck a deal with some demons of the hells, and there was a couple...in which the ghost elves made their escape through a series of portals, eventually ending backup in the material plane.

Their connection with the planes has replaced their connection with nature. The Ghost Elves are loosely affiliated with the united Galactic Alliance, but do not hold official membership - they avoid diplomacy with other Elves when ever possible, not being hostile but merely avoiding them.

They have made enemies of the devils of the planes though, who seek out and hunt Ghost Elves whenever the opportunity is there-

Currently, Ghost Elves have no known home. 

There is some speculation that they may live in a hidden Ethereal plane.
