These tunnels lead into the underground area and are always open.ģ new towers have been added around the keep that control whether or not realms can teleport to it using portal stones.Ī large plateau with 3 lookout towers and ancient ruins exists in the center of the zone, above the underground keep.Ī valley and thoroughfare surrounds this plateau in the central area of the island. There are two tunnel entrances on the east and west side of the hill in the center of the zone. There are rumors that deep within the mines the Silver Hand of Nuada is protected by powerful guardians loyal to the Unseelie, which causes no little amount of unrest among those of the Seelie Court.Ellan Vannin has a similar outline to the old Agramon zone but is a bit larger with a completely different interior layout and textures:Ī new keep, Knoc Meayll, has been added to the center of the zone and is located underground. Because there is a mild line of respect and code of behavior between the two factions, the Unseelie do not capture members of the Seelie Court. The humans and firbolgs they capture are forced to labor in the mines against their will some of them are bound by geas, some by magical collars, and others by mind manipulation. The Coruscating Mine, located in the heart of the Silvermine Mountains, is completely controlled by the Unseelie Court.īounty hunters and other members of this evil faction often raid human and firbolg towns and villages to supply a steady workforce. The silver hand functioned as any normal hand and allowed him to renew his kingship (since no one of his kind was allowed to rule so long as they had a blemish on their body). One of the ancient kings of Hibernia, Nuada of the Silver Hand, had a hand forged of true silver after an opposing Fomorian king had severed his. True silver is a light, strong, magical silver that has been coveted by the Sidhe for centuries. One of the most precious metals to both groups is true silver, sometimes called Mithril by others. Because common metals, particularly iron, is dangerous to all magical creatures, both the Seelie and Unseelie Courts forge their weapons, armor and artifacts out of magical metals and gems. The Unseelie Court, however, is made up of all the dark and evil faeries, which include goblins, pookas, siabra, and other creatures of magic that may seek to cause harm to humankind. In some cases, they may even befriend humans such as with the Elves and Lurikeen.

The members of the Seelie Court are generally benign in nature and do not actively seek to harm humans living in their territory. These are the Seelie and the Unseelie Courts. In the realms of the Sidhe and faeries, there are two major factions that continuously play against each other.
