Cross the Mists, if you dare, to the enchanted land of Tir na n'Og.
Enter a world of mystery and magic, of myth
and menace, where wonder and danger walk hand-in-hand and adventure waits around every
corner. A place where valiant champions and villainous scoundrels battle on the field of
honor. A place populated with elves, koshka, trolls, and unicorns. It has been known by
many names, but to those who understand its secrets, it is Tir na n'Og, the land of the
Sidhe, a world just across the Mists from our own.
The Sidhe, or faerie folk, and humans share
this enchanted place, not always peacefully. Cousins they may be, but there is little
harmony between the children of Lilith and those of Eve. Dragons and dwarfs hold the
mountains, griffins and gargoyles soar through the skies, and unicorns and elves are
equally at home in the deep, dark forests. And over man and monster alike rule the Tuatha
du Dannan, the Greater Fey, once worshipped as gods, now the overlords of Tir na n'Og.
They may be obeyed with love or with loathing, but they are obeyed, their will enforced by
trios of handpicked human champions called Triads.
A Triad member's life is usually brief but
glorious, for they become legends, their valiant deeds and feats of heroism passed on in
song and story. For those few who survive Triad service and all the dangers it brings in
its wake, the merest handful-the strongest, the cleverest, the bravest-may be chosen for
still greater glory. Spirited away into the Mists to the homes of the Greater Fey, they
are groomed to become supreme warrior-guardians of the land, answerable to nothing but Tir
na n'Og itself. These are the Ironlords.
There is no higher honor than to be chosen for
such service, and many strive to prove themselves worthy. Mighty Cavaliers, the
warrior-knights; crafty Rangers, light fighters of skill and cunning; and Mystics,
wielders of magical powers, strive against monsters, villains, rogues, ruffians, and one
another in order to shine in the eyes of the ever-vigilant Fey. These aspirants are the
Seattle Knights, who battle for honor and glory before the cheering crowds!
So, welcome traveler! Cross the Mists, if you
dare...and may the Fey let you leave again when they're through with you...
