The Verdant Dream is a Faerie realm that truly lives up to the stereotype of Victorian fairytales. It is part of the Untamed Wilds archetype.
Background[]
Set within a temperate forest, the Verdant Dream is utterly filled with common, popular depictions of fae things, from tiny, insectoid pixie swarms to unicorns drawn to virgins’ touch. This is entirely due to the amusement the realm’s True Fae master felt upon becoming aware of mortal fairytales from all over the world.
Captives play the roles of the characters in these stories, being given forms to match (though the “hero” does not necessarily win); as such, seemings and kiths of all kinds may be found here. Often, captives are pitted against one another in these stories: the Billy Goats Gruff might well be devoured by the creature under the bridge.
