Okay second, and possibly final draft. Give it a look over and see if I forgot anything. If you approve, I'll put this one over the one I posted in the Gallery already.

[sblock=Realm]Faerie, The Otherworld, The Twilight Lands
In some ways Faerie is a 'reflection' of the 'real' world, and it shares many similar geographical features, though often embellished or distorted in some way. The plane is highly mutable though, and is constantly in a state of mild flux. This rarely affects large landscape features like lakes and mountains, but smaller features...or aspects of larger ones...will frequently move about when no one's looking, or change in tangible ways. Faerie is a place constantly suspended in phases of transition. It is a place of eternal "in-betweenness." Its sun is always at the horizon, never rising nor setting, giving it the name 'Twilight Lands.' It is never wholly summer, winter, autumn nor spring, but rather all four exist at once, in separate 'kingdoms.' It overlaps the real world in places like crossroads, where one is between one's origin and one's destination. The lack of day and night contributes to a sense of timelessness, which makes it very easy for one to lose track of how long one has been there. No one and nothing ages while in Faerie, but the time catches up with anyone returning to the mortal world.
The Otherworld is, to some extent, less -real- than the mortal world. Most artifacts from Faerie will cease to exist, or crumble to dust, when brought outside that realm. Fey beings who leave Faerie must 'anchor' themselves to something real...a landscape feature, or tree, or they will lose their immortality. Mortal creatures who eat fey food will find themselves starving to death upon leaving. In addition, a mortal who stays long enough in Faerie, eating their food, breathing their air, will start to slowly -become- fey as the substance of their bodies is replaced.
Faerie has borders with several other planes. It is most closely aligned with the mortal realm, but shares borders with the dreamworld as well. It's said that if one could fly to the sun, on the other side one would find the heavens of Solarion??. Meanwhile, there are abysses and chasms in the caverns beneath the surface that, should one fall in, one would fall all the way into the spider-filled depths of Blahdyblah. As a rule, it is not hard to stumble into Faerie, should the conditions be right. Getting out again can be trickier.[/sblock]
[sblock=Denizens]Faerie is populated by beings that share their world's name: the faerie, or fae for short. They come in a bewildering array of sizes and shapes, though most are at least nominally humanoid in form. Almost all of them are gifted with magical abilities, though these are more often mischievous in nature than outright dangerous. Fae are ageless, dying only through violence or misadventure, though it's unusual that they have long-minded viewpoints or long term, byzantine plots. Most fae live their eternities one day at a time, filling each with whatever pleases it the most...be it frolicking and making merry, or horrific acts of violence.
Fae often have powerful ties to natural features in their vicinity. This is especially true of dryads and nymphs. Even more free-roaming fae such as pixies will sometimes fixate on a household or individual person, either bedeviling them or trying to aid them...though sometimes it's hard to tell which is which.
Few fae dally long outside of Faerie, with the occasional exception of dryads and nymphs who become attached to trees or lakes in the mortal realm. One other big exception are the gnomes, who were originally fey but struck out into the mortal world en masse to escape persecution by fey goblins. There they became mortal, but still retain some of their carefree mindset and magical gifts.[/sblock]
