Realm of the Glorious Dawn
What wonder can compare to the infinitely rising sun
When the heavenly light pierces and pulls back the veil of night
And all that is revealed is constantly renewed again
Those who populate the Realm
Darklings are common in the Realm of the Glorious Dawn. They reflect the shadows of Shamshiel. Also common are Beasts, as they populate the vast dawn-lit valleys and hills, they are her livestock, her pets. Also Elementals, particularly those of Air and Shadow and Mist, for their ethereal qualities.
Shamshiel
Like her twin, Aftiel, she is an embodiment of the contradiction and unity. This dark Fae rules from the Kingdom of the Glorious Dawn; a place where truth is lie, and nightmares hover on the edge of sleep.
Shamshiel is tall and thin and pale and clothed in shadow and light. Something that is only seen on the edge of your vision, never face on. Something that's felt, sensed, perhaps heard, but not truly seen. Face on would be a nightmare too horrible to imagine, the fear that lies in the nightmares just before dawn, the horrors that walk beneath the harvest moon, the terror that is nothingness. Few have ever looked her in the face and survived, a shadow on a wall, a whisper in the air. She is capricious, maleficient, vain, magnificent.
