Faerieland (aka land of Faerie/Faerie) appears to be a name of the world and alternate universe where the land of Eldritch and Etheria is located.[1][2][3] This world may sometimes be referred to as Realm of Eldritch (Eldritch) and [4][5] although that refers to the lands below as well (but Eldritch itself does not necessarily refer to the unknown lands surrounding the realm).

Background[]

Time passes much more quickly in the Realm of Eldritch, than it does in the World of Daventry.[6]

Both the people from the lower lands and the skyrealm of Etheria make up the guardians of Faerieland. Not all of which was as lovely and serene as its name might suggest (for Faeries are a fair and peaceful folk).[7]

The land of Faerie is also the location of the Faerie Court of Etheria up in Cloudland.

The King and Queen of Faerie; Oberon and Titania rule there. Prince Edgar is their son.[8]

As the two women (Valanice and Rosella) made their separate ways through the land of Faerie, they explored a number of different lands...:

  • The Desert is where Valanice began her adventure. This place contains the brightest place in Eldritch.[9]
  • The Troll Underground is sometimes referred to as the Vulcanix Underground. This is where Rosella began her adventures and where her adventure eventually concludes.
  • The town of Falderal contains a number of important shops and a secret passage into the underground.
  • Ooga Booga Land is a cemetery with a swamp connected to it.
  • Cloudland is accessible only by air and is part of the Kingdom of Etheria. Etheria is the land Rosella saw in the looking pond.
  • Dreamland can be reached only in sleep.[10]
  • Eldritch Sea (not visited, but mentioned in The Princeless Bride: From the Chronicles of Daventry, Part VII. It may surround the continent where Realm of Eldritch (Etheria) lies. It have indirect links to the Dream Sea (the nightmares are thought to resemble Eldritch sea-bottom horrors.).

Graham wanted only to hear their tales of the adventure, and how she and Rosella had found their way home again from the land of Faerie.[11]
