The island of Eldoth is an excellent setting for stories. :book:

How did the Fae survive the Flood?

Is it safe to assume that Eldoth is somewhere off the coasts of France or Spain, then?

Redemption is to be purchased, to have a price paid. So I was redeemed from my master sin, and from justice, which demanded my death. For He paid the price of sin by becoming sin, and met the demands of justice by dying for us.

For all men have a master. But a man cannot have two masters. For he will love one and hate the other. You cannot serve God and sin. So I die to the old, as He died, and I am resurrected to the new, as He was resurrected.

Note: Ebed is Hebrew for bondsman, Eleutheros is Greek for unrestrained (not a slave).

The Fae didn't, they are decendents of Noah. They just haven't lost their lifespan.

Ah, now I understand. I got confused over the "another elder kindred of man, a remnant of the world before the Flood" part.

Bit further north then that. On lattitude with Scotland actually.


Have you thought about the norse historical influences, then? There's definitely going to be Danish incursions throughout your history.

Well in actuality I have taken mostly celtic influences actualy, and then later english ones. My guess is the island's location is west of Ireland, but a bit further north.


That would make the island open to viking and Danish attacks, but it occurs to me that a combination of Faeries and demonic monsters might make the island a commonly avoided place, viking superstitions being what they were.

So how often do normal humans get there and end up staying there?

Original :P ;)
Just kidding :) I think you've got a very creative start, there. But pray tell, what made you decide to turn your fantasy world into a tiny island?
