Kingdoms of the Fae
Story Teaser
In a world beyond the world, the Fae abide and brood.
In palaces of glass and bone, the Fae scheme and feud.
And soon they will return, to make bloody sport of mortal fools.
The Garden of Night echoed faintly with the stringing of harps, the gentle lapping of water, and lovers hidden by silk curtains. Lady Night reclined on a luxurious couch - skin pale as the moon, hair black as the sky, beauty beyond mortal - attended by a handmaiden and trio of cats.
"The preparations are almost complete, my queen," purred one of the cats. "It will be a ball to remember."
"And we are assured no shortage of guests?" She asked.
"The Augurs say we will reach the portal just in time. Many mortals will blunder in on celebrations."
She smiled, predatory, showing a hint of fang. "Good."
Introduction

Requirements
All you need is a fondness for magical strangeness, nation building, and roleplaying.
I'll provide any and all setting or mechanical materials that may be needed, and I'm always open to constructive criticism. Bear in mind that your Realms do not exist in purely physical space, and did not exist before you did. At present the Mortal Realm is in a medieval state, and there are no races other than human out there.
