The Enchanted Realm

A world, parallel to our own, which was created long ago, in order to retain the balance between good and evil in the minds of men. This is achieved by a link which ensures that, when the forces of good within the realm prevail, benevolence is apparent in the minds of men and the world is a calm place, when evil prevails, our world gradually deteriorates into a pool of corruption, war, famine, and our dark side begins to show.

Environments

The environments of the enchanted realm are often similar to those of earth, lush jungles and rain forests, harsh deserts and tundra, but each environment is sustained by more than the earth and the atmosphere, powerful magic runs naturally throughout everything, and a large percentage of the realm’s denizens have the ability to harness this magic.

As well as the familiar environments encountered, there are some locations which cannot be found anywhere other than the enchanted realm, examples including Cloud Haven, a magnificent, “continent” in the sky, held together purely by the will of one of the Exalted Ones, (see article for details).

The Gates

Whilst not accessible by the general population of either world, there are ways through, which one can traverse the dimensional gap between worlds, thus mortals from our world have been known to cross over, and creatures from the enchanted realm have done the same in reverse, giving birth to a great many of our religious beliefs and mythologies. When a gate appears it is literally a gate, or sometimes a door, it is usually an old wooden door with a brick frame and old iron hinges, when the gate opens, there is a blaring light (the colour has been debated and is believed to be dependant on the method and magic used for summoning), the blaring light will often act as a vortex, drawing objects or organism in by force, however it is not unknown for the process to be more peaceful, drawing a life form in like a moth to a flame. The gates have been known to appear, sometimes at random, sometimes as an act of fate, and also when an especially powerful being such as an Exalted One summons it.
