Fin Bheara

Fin Bheara is a True Fae Boggan and the Faerie Thorpe named after him in the Deep Dreaming.

Overview

The Mistweir is the final barrier between the Deep Dreaming and the Far Dreaming. This great cloud is little more than a foot thick in some places and is miles deep in others. Along the great barrier, hamlets and towns of all sizes have cropped up over the centuries, peopled by commoner fae who claim they left Arcadia for places away from the sidhe. The greatest of these towns is called Fin Bheara, after the boggan who settled the land. Fin Bheara comprises all sorts of Kithain, even many sidhe who claim Arcadia was barred to them at the time of the Shattering.

The great castle in the center of the thorpe is ruled half the year by a dark-haired sidhe who claims she is the rightful heir to Arcadia's throne, and ruled the other half of the year by Fin Bheara himself. Seelie and Unseelie alike live here, following the old traditions long forgotten or ignored by the Kithain of the Flesh Realm. Politics is a deadly game in the great, old town, and strangers entering Fin Bheara are often caught in a quiet war between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts.

The Fae of Fin Bheara make no claims to be Arcadians, though they swear they know the way to the ancient homeland. Visitors are always welcomed, so long as they obey the laws of the two rulers.
