The Faen Realm is an alternate dimension fabricated by the Shapers, which is occasionally accessible from Temerant, especially during nights with a full moon or no moon [1]. It is inhabited by the Fae, who comprise many species and races and have diverse magical abilities, such as disguise and telling the future. The realm is the subject of many pieces of folklore and myths in Temerant, but little is known about their true customs or culture. The Fae may be immortal or have very long life spans [2].
Inhabitants
Main article: Fae
The inhabitants of the Faen realm include:
- Singular magical entities, such as Felurian or the Cthaeh
- Skin Dancers, or Maeltatha
- An unnamed humanoid species, to which Bast belongs
From stories and myths, the inhabitants could be trow, fairies, barrow draugs, and other mythical creatures, although Kvothe never encountered these and the reports are unconfirmed.
Creation
According to Felurian, the Faen Realm is a fabricated dimension made by the Shapers [1]. The final touch was Iax stealing the moon, which sparked the Creation War [3] and created the moon's waxing and waning.
