Eria, painted for this archiveDreamwood
Place, Forest
A beautiful forest east of the Weeping Forest, full of satyrs, faeries and nymphs among flower meadows and fruit trees, patrolled by warlike arcitenus and malataur who let only Fomorians pass. Its River of Pleasure intoxicates like wine and in quantity brings wondrous, sometimes prophetic dreams.
From the book
Dreamwood, a strange realm east of the Weeping Forest, shelters many woodland beings: lustful satyrs, mischievous faeries and countless nymphs of wood and stream. Fierce bands of two-headed centaurs called arcitenus and ram-bodied malataur also wander there, letting no one but Fomorians go by unmolested.
Unlike the gloomy Weeping Forest, Dreamwood is breathtakingly beautiful. Poppies, meadow saffron and red heather brighten every clearing and scent the air, and flowering and fruiting trees of every kind grow wild, visited only by butterflies, songbirds and sprites. Through its center flows the River of Pleasure.
