Tir na Nog

A land seeming stuck in time since it’s inhabitants don’t really bother to keeping up with the other nations, making it look and feel much the same as it did a few decades ago in some places. The place is also just saturated in magic from all of the resident fairies flittering about.

Anyone and everyone is allowed to go, come, and stay as they please, provided they aren’t attempting to conquer the nation or attempted to recently. In that case except to be run out by angry fairies throwing fireballs at you, trying to stab you, or just pulling on your tail really hard. [spoiler]The buildings are simple affairs made out of local plant life with many fairies living in miniature treehouses and the nymphs living in cottages made out of branches tightly woven together. Though members of other races have built homes here using more up to date construction methods, though the only true castle was built years ago in the capital city of Falias.

There’s no real governmental structure in Tir na Nog with most of the inhabitants preferring to take care of personal matters themselves, though there is an official Ruler who gets picked by a magical hunk of rock called the Stone of Destiny that rests in the courtyard of the castle in Falias. When the previous Ruler dies inhabitants of Tir na Nog come from all around and the next Ruler is chosen when the Stone literally sings out upon being touched by the right person. Historically there have been many fairy kings and queens and a few nymphs have taken up the role now and then as well, though extremely rarely someone of another race has taken up the mantle.

Right now the Ruler is Queen Cupcake von Glitter IV, a cyan colored fairy whose parents just really liked sweets and she added on the “von Glitter” part herself when she was picked to be queen (and yes there’s been three previous queens with the same name). Like most fairy rulers they’ve kind of really done nothing but throw grandiose parties in the castle every other week or so.
