Environmental Pictures

The enviorment of Foraoise Draiochta is made up of forests, meadows, waterfalls, and mountains. The seasons change between spring and summer so the forests and meadows are always green with grass and flowers. One main feature is the still active volcano.



Waterfalls: All of our waterfalls are unique. Each one is named for it's distinct physical features. 

A Ceann Siochanta
An Ceann Siochanta, or "The Peaceful One", is named for the serenity and peace one feels from being there. Most of the water pixies often decide to reside in this area.
Draiocht Rock Falls
Named for the steep cliffs and magic like aura around the falls, Draiocht Rock Falls (Magic Rock Falls) is often flowing fast and the magical predators- Trolls and Giant Spiders are often found lurking in the forests surrounding the water.
Poll Corcra
Poll Corcra, meaning "Purple Hole", is named because of the look of  being in a hole when standing in the main cave (shown above). With the evening light, a purple aura is given off. 


Forests: The forests are a big part of Foraoise Draiochta, after all, the translation means Magical Forest. We take pride in their beauty and mystery. 

The Glowing Woods
These woods look like they are glowing due to the light pixies residing in the high grasses. At night they often light up with different colors and can be seen from surrounding areas. It's a great place to go for a long relaxing walk.

Meadows: The meadows in Foraoise Draiochta are often were most of the creatures spend their free time in the meadows. The meadows are often cool and peaceful. 

Ait A Bhfuil An Ghrian Gheal
Ait A Bhfuil An Ghrian Gheal, meaning "Where the sun is bright", is a beautiful meadow. It surrounds a small river with plants ranging in every color growing on the lush banks. In the early morning, the sun shines through the trees and growth, giving off a distinct color, that makes this place a unique one.

Na Lilacs Corcra
This meadow, meaning "The Purple Lilacs", is named for the thousands of different  types of purple lilacs growing in the meadow. The air is filled with a distinct sweet smell from the flowers. Many creatures can be found taking naps in the lazy afternoon sun.

Volcano: Foraoise Draiochta contains one active volcano. It is main tourist attraction but should be handled with care.

Tine Te Volcano
Meaning "Hot Fire", is the only volcano in Foraoise Draiochta. Tine Te has magical features and is very dangerous. It is still active and goes off at random unknown times but when it does erupt, it's a sight to see.





List Of Rules

1. Residents of Foraoise Draiochta must always respect the environment and keep their own living space as well as their assigned environmental feature clean. The environment is a main attraction in Foraoise and is our pride. Each citizen is to help keep the reputation up.

2. All elves must travel in groups of three or more when leaving the residence area. This is to ensure no elf becomes lost in the magical forests, which are dangerous.

3. Pets must always be kept on a leash. Keeping pets on leashes is required to ensure that no pixie or puffle is left on the loose and will not wreak havoc. You are in charge of your pets at all times. Wild pixies and puffles are sly tricksters, therefore they should be treated with caution and are considered dangerous.

4. Every resident must do their part in the community. Recycling all types of material is required. Again, the environment is a main interest in Foraoise and we will do anything to keep our ecosystem in good shape.

5. Unicorns and Griffins must be tamed and approved by a professional before they are used as transportation. They must be properly taken care of and picked up after.

6. Tine Te Volcano is completely off-limits without proper government approval. It is a dangerous physical feature due to it's magical activity as well as not knowing when it will erupt. Elves are to receive special training as well as governmental approval to become Volcano Watchmen.

7. You may not slaughter wild creatures unless you are an occupational hunter. Each creature is unique and part of the ecosystem, therefore, they should be cherished and protected.

8. Always have some weapons handy when you leave the safe city limits. Because Foraoise is a magical society, there is also dark magic and evil and each elf should protect themselves against whatever is outside of the safe limits.

9. For your own safety, do not visit the forests surrounding Draiocht Rock Falls after dark. Draiocht Rock Falls is were the trolls and giant spiders are most often sighted- especially at night. These creatures are highly dangerous and predators of elves. Also, the dark magic is most present at night and should be treated with caution for safety.

10. The waterfalls are always open to any creature who wishes to visit. The waterfalls are a calm, relaxing place which can be used for recreational time. Any creature who wishes to visit has permission to.

Any violation of the rules above will result in a governmental hearing to decide the severity of the violation and punishment will be based on severity.

Foraoise Draiochta 

We named our utopian society Foraoise Draiochta which means "Magical Forest" in Irish. Foraoise Draiochta's ecosystem is comprised of meadows, waterfalls, forests, and a volcano. But mainly forests. There are magical powers within Foraoise and magical activity is always high in the forests. The citizens of Foraoise Draiochta cherish the outdoors and spend most of their time in the woods, meadows, and waterfalls. These magical places are very important to our society.
