Fairy Ring

A fairy ring is a ring of mushrooms or stones on grass or in a forest. It is a place where fairies dance, or have danced. Fairies are known for their revelry and their love of dancing. Many nights are devoted to feasting and partying and dancing, and traces of these revels are left over in the form of these rings.

While this seems harmless and fun, fairy rings can be very dangerous to humans. If a human were to walk into a fairy ring there is a chance of that person being transported to the fairy realm, and once there there's no telling if or when you might return home again.

  1. Into the world of fairies lies a dimension of wonder and magic.
    Within that world, tiniy deities ditinct from humans and higher in Knowledge tease & enchant mortals..They are creatures that have been believed in for centuries and from every corner of the world. Somewhere there is a portal into this unseen world. Whether that doorway exists in a nearby forest or in your imagination we have allowed them a place to exist. Of all the minor creatures in mythology,fairies are the most beautiful,the most numerous ,the most memorable.
