Hybern

The King of Hybern's ancient island realm, a fortress of ash and iron where an army gathers to tear down the Wall and enslave the mortal world.

Also known as: Hybern Isle, the King's Realm, the Old Enemy, the Ash Isle

What They Know

Hybern's soil is laced with iron, making it a place where even High Fae magic feels thin and sluggish unless one is born to it.
The King of Hybern has held the throne for over five centuries, his reign unbroken by any coup or challenger.
The island's great ash forests are harvested to make the only arrows that can pierce a faerie's heart, and Hybern's smiths forge them by the thousand.
The capital, Irath, is built from the bones of the mountain and the teeth of the sea—a city of black stone and white spires that never sleeps.
The King's wizards have learned to brew faebane in vats, enough to poison the wells of entire courts if they choose.
Hybern's harbor is said to be enchanted: no ship can approach without the King's leave, and the waters themselves are patrolled by things older than the fae.
