Creatures Beyond Our Ken: More about Faeries

“In the golden age before the twin curses of iron and church stole the magic, we ruled the earth. Now we live in the cool sunlight of Arcadia, and watch our remaining forests as they are slowly destroyed. But nothing mortal is eternal, and eventually the Dominion will falter. Then we shall return as saviors of joy and beauty, and bring the faerie and the mortal worlds closer, as they once were, and shall be once again.”

— Oberon

There is a world that underlies Mythic Europe. It is a world of perfect beauty, living light, and dark horror … the world of the Fair Folk. Read first-hand accounts of faeries encountered, given by wizards and peasants, holy men and diabolists. And learn the ways of prudent courtesy on which the lives of visitors depend in the faerie lands of Arcadia, a place where light and dark are directions as well as qualities, and where creativity can transform the very substance of reality.

This book is a guide to incorporating the world of faerie into any fantasy campaign. Discover the pixie, the centaur, the Tuatha de Danann. These creatures are the mysterious, bizarre and intensely magical beings that live beyond the reach of mortal civilization, beyond the realm of understanding. This book includes background on the faeries, a description of Arcadia, an extensive bestiary pf creatures to include in your games, and four stories involving faeries to help the Storyguide integrate the material into their Saga. 

This is a digitized (scanned and OCR'd) reissue of second first edition of Faeries, which is out of print. It requires Ars Magica 2nd Edition to play, and expands and updates the Faerie Realm. For more information on the revised version for 4th Edition, click here.
