The Far Realms

There are four realms of spirits, sometimes called the “far realms,” that are tangent to the plane of Flesh, where men and dwarves and dogs and cows and all other mortal creatures live. These are called the Wastes, the Weald, the Weird, and the Welkin. All magic has its origin in one of these realms.

The Wastes

The Wastes are a barren place. It is dead. It is death. It is a place of grey skies and miasmic fens stretching to the horizon, scattered with piles of bones from wars that were ancient before the creation of the mortal world.

The Weald

The Weald is a wild place. It is alive. It is chaos. It is a place of twisting vines tangled together down into impossibly deep roots, and spreading branches stretching up into formless and churning storm clouds.

The Weird

The Weird is an ever-changing place. It is dream. It is madness. The realm of Weird is half allegory and half nonsense. Dreamers sometimes visit the Weird when they sleep; prophets live half in the Weird and half in the realm of Flesh.

The Welkin

The Welkin is a bright and terrible place. It is order. It is law. It’s a place of blue skies and rainbow bridges leading to cloud cities where winged women bring mead to ancestor kings, who wage endless battles in preparation for the apocalypse.
