Kingdom of Dunloe – on the Emerald Isle, known as Ireland.
Dunloe Castle –
located on the banks of “Coosaun Lake” adjacent to “Black Lake” between
mountains and woods. The lakes are connected by an old bridge, called the
“Wishing Bridge”. According to traditions all your wishes were met 10 days
after you crossed it.
In East and West
Dunloe is protected by green mountains and red rocks. Travelling north
you’ll walk through quiet woods. Here and there the traveller caught a
glimpse of fairies and goblins. In the South you can see wide valleys and
blue rivers – homeland of the water elves.
Every detail seems
mystical and mysterious in the silver moonlight. Amidst the world of
magical creatures our story begins.
The Court – Mear,
the Princess
and the Lords of Dunloe - are sleeping.
Candles
lightened the room. Mysterious guardians are wandering around between Mear
and her subserviants.
It is a restless
night. Dreams are walking through the walls of the castle. The princess
owns the gift of forecast. She is plagued by visions. Ominous flames blaze
all around. The court immersed in darkness.
Mear startled,
looking around. No sign of danger or evil influences. Satisfied the
princess falls asleep again.
The night descends;
the moon gives way to the sun. The Court of Dunloe wake up.
