Illustrations of a forest in a foggy dark setting. The first image is a foggy area with a deer in the centre, framed by trees. The second has illustrations of certain things you will find in the forest.

"Despite first impressions, Caoin's dense fog hides a wide variety of flora. Familiar or otherwise, best to treat them with caution."

"Pick with care -- not all flora are what they seem."

"RAZOR IVY -- Just one example of the strange things that live inhabit the forest. Growing in fractals, some say the vines go on endlessly. True or not, the cuts from its leaves will if not treated immediately."

"Mosses, stalks, those with eyes to see will notice many a species believed to be extinct for centuries."

"From hazel to honeysuckle, the forest's bounty are an exception that prove the rule."

"Your excursion will have landmarks but make no mistake -- the only thing awaiting you is town or worse."

The last image is of the town walls  on the outside, with trees seen around it.

The forest weaves in and out of the walls of the town. Thick trees further obscure the environment and makes it harder for anyone to even see a way back to the normal world. Funny thing is, it seems to go on forever… And loops right back to where you started.

Cu Sidhe

A hound usually the size of a small horse, with a coat of black or green fur and curly tails. The Cu Sidhe are harbingers of death, but nowadays roam the town without said obligations. 
They are capable of striking those who hear them bark three times with such terror, they would die from the shock, but currently only use singular barks to ward off intruders from the church grounds during the tournament.


Banshees

Banshees dwell in the forest and town,
unable to truly rest as the felines hunt for their souls. They are often mourning their lost kin, and with the
added stress, usually very irritable. 
They tend to scream and howl at those who disturb them.
Usually Banshees are female, but we allow them to be found as any gender.


Cat-sìth

A fairy that takes the form of a cat, usually black
with a singular white spot on it’s chest. These
felines are known to steal the souls of the departed who have yet to leave this world. In this particular depiction, these souls are stored in their tails, which is bright and flickers like a flame.
They are easily distracted by music and dance, and tend to be caught walking on their hind legs often.


Please feel free to explore different kinds of Fae in Celtic myth! These are only examples we have provided. They are certainly not the only ones.

These are certainly not the only Fae you will encounter in this sealed away town, but a few you may see often…

The cliffside of Caoin is seen in the distance, with a church perched on top.

The town itself is falling apart; the architecture is preserved victorian buildings, but slowly but surely being reclaimed by nature, flora and vines lace through brickwork.. Fae and people still occupy the houses despite the structures crumbling.

Name: Joseph Domhnall
Age: Young in appearance
Species: Guardian Fey
Personality: Childish in nature but oftentimes cruel towards those with a negative affinity.

 Appointed magistrate within the hamlet of Caoin, Joseph resolves conflicts that get a little too out of hand within the towns limits. 

 A guardian fey once prayed to for protection from oncoming raiders or war parties, giving blessings to all who truly believe they're in need of it. As time passed, word spread of this use from small tribes. Warlords would abuse the boon, asking for their favor instead, leading to the demise of many innocent beings. Their form began to twist and resemble the embers of fallen villages, and as such, sought to hide from the world within Caoin to stop this abuse.

Abilities: 
-Capable of providing blessings of fortitude and resilience onto others or themselves. 
-Shapeshifter, but only in form, not outward appearance. Typically preferring the appearance of a young man or minotaur. 

The mantle they wear does change in size to fit him comfortably, and is rarely seen apart from it.

Caoin's current magistrate sought refuge here to escape from the violent demands of tyrants. In exchange for keeping the peace, he is free to live a peaceful life as his true self.

A reference image of an Irish Druid character. There is a headshot on the top right corner, a thigh-up drawing of her holding a staff, and 3 expressions on the very right.

Name: Máire Gallagher
Age: Appears mid-late 20s
Gender: Female (She/They)
Species: Half Aos Sí/Human
Height: 5'11

Máire is a druid priestess, equipped with the ability to harness a natural magic passed down by her ancestors before her. In the past, she had to hide her true self under the guise of a nun to fit into a rapidly changing society, but now she embraces her nature to the fullest.

She acts as an overseer and protector, dedicated to preserving the town, the fae who sought refuge there, and Caoin's history within the ancient Book, whether she wants it or not. She now grows weary, trying desperately to keep the fomorian giantess at bay, who dangles Cooin's safety over her head if she doesn't hold a festival euery 7 years to honour her.


While she carries herself with grace and poise, this druid is quite irritable. Her current predicament has worn her down to the point of constant lethargy. She is quite soft spoken and monotone. She’ll try to be patient and listen to concerns, but does have a disdain for small talk. If it’s not important, she doesn’t want to hear it. She can come off as quite passive and shows subtle hints of annoyance with sarcastic remarks and the odd eye roll. She lacks enthusiasm, even when delivering delivering a sermon. It’s hard for her to crack a smile nowadays.


As overseer, she feels weighed down by the heavy responsibility, but she does genuinely care for both for the town and those in it, even those who don’t respect her authority. She will protect the sacred text with her life to keep Caoin itself from erasure, even during times where she is certain she cannot triumph.

Reference image of an Irish Druid character. On the left she is manipulating plants such as thorns and ivy to their extremes. 
On the right is a clear front and back view of her, as well as her staff.

Máire isn’s afraid of showing who is boss using her magic. Equipped with a knack for many types, whether it be healing or a destructive force. 

She will often manipulate the abundant nature around her to their extremes to show her might, or cast fae around the town to survey where she cannot see.

Her body tires out easily after using her powers to an excessive degree.

 It’s all up to your own interpretation.

The cliffside is formed by Basalt Columns, huge hexagonal stone columns that act as a staircase for the giantess lurking in the sea. It is thought that she formed them herself in a rage. (2/2)

An ancient church that sits atop Caoin’s cliffside, overlooking the sea. It acts as the perfect place for Máire to observe the town. The lights are always on, but the doors are locked for the tournament. (1/2)

An illustrated reference sheet of a book with the name “CAOIN” written on the front. 

An illustration below shows the book laying open.

There is another illustration on the right of a woman standing by a podium with her hands placed upon the book. There is a barrier of light around them.

The text reads:

“The Book

The Book of Caoin is an ancient manuscript written by Máire's ancestors from long ago, but nowadays, the pages seem to write themselves.

The entire history of the town is documented within, depicted using both text and illustrations.

The book's condition is worn and old, with some pages being badly damaged - while it is mostly legible, some pages have been lost.

Despite its appearance, it is not as fragile as it looks.

The book holds a mysterious power, even more powerful than Máire’s own abilities. It is unknown as to why, along with what it is truly capable of.

It is currently holding the town together with Máire’s aid, can alter the
environment around the entire town, cause mental distortion or visions, and can even grant wishes.*

Only those deemed worthy are allowed to take a glance at its pages. It sits on a podium in the church, with a barrier of light protecting it to prevent unwanted hands from claiming it.

* Feel free to be creative with its capabilities. Completely up to contestant interpretation.”
