Tir Carchar: Realms of Exile

{pronounced: tear-car-car}




Introduction

Originally, Tir Carchar was little more than a playground for the demigods of nightmare, but recently its begun to take on material substance with each use of the Invocation of Incarceration. Its population remains small and it consists of a primeval Old-world forest, a fortress structure of some kind and one or more settlements.




Anorexic Faith

Regardless of the culture or pantheon, faith in Tir Carchar is a rare thing, the resident populations have more faith in fire and high walls than in the gods to which they occasionally mouth half-forgotten prays.

Still religion plays a central part in day-to-day life, the people like to believe that someone out there is looking out for them, and religion gives a community a central hub for social interacts, procedures of justice, potential healing and in the case of death - last rites.

Only a very few truly believe and can channel the divine for the gods are distant within the lands of Tir Carchar. But a true believer can hold back the darkness at the edge of their community simply through the power of their faith.

While those of pure faith are rare they are both beloved of the people and targets for the agents of evil.




Black Invocations

More often than not the common people trust to the superstitions of their particular culture and draw what protections they can from legends and oral lore: protective signs, sovereign remedies, auspicious night's, etc. This hodgepodge of Occult understanding does sometimes provide a mere mortal with an actual defense against the dark, then again just as often it has misled the desperate into a false sense of security.

Enigmatic Histories

The First People were not as the Later Tribes. They were a strange dark people who came down out of the Lands of Ice and Snow to make Tir Carchar their own. In time, the forerunners of Three Tribes came to settle the land in ever growing numbers and forcing the First People to seek their safety farther south.
