The Borderlands
General Information
The lowest Plane of Existence in the Seven Levels of Heaven, the Borderlands have a dual purpose:
- The realm is a buffer against the demons who still want to control the other levels of Heaven.
- It gives the Royal Strains a place off earth to rule their kind.
The Borderlands are centered around Tir na nOg, the land of the Fay and Fairfolk. This land is a gift from an ancient Goddess. Most of the paranormals in the Borderland revere the Goddess or are directly tied to her through a gifting.
The Borderlands are ever expanding. Because they are in an Ethereal Plane they are not limited by planetary size. Though most of the realms are of a like size, the Vampires and Werelions do control vast amounts of land (called a four quarter plot).
A normal sized realm is roughly the same square acreage as the United States. A four quarter plot is roughly the size of the European continent including Asia.
Shires, villages and burgs dot most realms. It is important to note that all mayors, leaders or burgermeisters answer to a Royal except for a select few. The Elves are an example of this. The Trolls too do not answer to a Royal.
There is an important prophecy related to the Borderlands. It once foretold the second Great War. The third Great Paranormal War will be upon them soon.
