Kingdom of Raeyithia

The Kingdom of Raeyithia is never ending springtime buffeted by soft warm breezes fragrant with heather and lavender. The capital, Tarașinău, is born of beauty and bravery, a magical fairy tale city, encircled by a hedge wall, home to many of the Aelfeyn, Muiri and lowlander Hoggur.

“Live for today, never tomorrow.” Is a motto of Raeyithians.

The lighthearted nature of Raeyithians, as well as their appreciation for youth and beauty is demonstrated in the light, welcoming architecture presented throughout Tarașinău. Cobblestone pathways, enchanting foliage and whimsical structures akin to what one would think about when imagining a fairy city situated on the Irish countryside. They are passionate to a fault and tend to be idealistic. They do not worry about the future because as their motto implies tomorrow is never a guarantee. This is not to say they do not appreciate stories of the past, but usually only those that are idealized stories of romance and courage.
