Beyond the Table and the Highlight Chandelier shines the Great Window through which the first Faeries entered the House. Once a military outpost of the winged army of invaders, today the Window is a symbol of peace and hope shining starlight over the Realm.

To climb to the Window sill you can either fly or use one of the special lifts, wooden platforms tied to the shells of two large pack snails that climb up and down hundreds of times a day and who are treated and fed like royalty.

Faeriyev - The City of Stars

Built on the inner sill of the Great Window, the most ancient city of the Realm is bright Faeriyev.

This fae settlement was established back on the first day of Beltane, when the Tree fell, forcing the Faeries to seek refuge inside the House. On that same sill Oberon Trismegistus first laid eyes on the Chandelier and, since his emblem was a crystal star, he saw that as a sign. Before marching forth, he left the settlement in the hands of his most trusted littling, Puck Stakan, who went on to establish Faeriyev and ruled over it for years before perishing in battle on Samhain.

Arriving at the Great Window, you’ll be flooded with the light of the stars or the sun and get a beautiful view of the Garden. At night, many young lovers stroll on the Faeriyev overlook, and they are the true symbol of the City of Stars, but at day many more tourists and pilgrims come in the same place to bask in the wonders of the brightly colored glass.

Despite the restrictions of the regulation plan included in the Astraviya Treaty, the city was allowed to substitute the panes of the Window that had broken in the fall of the Tree. For that operation were employed many thick panes of sugar, all of them decorated with scenes that are close to the heart of all Faeries, like the Exodus from Dendronaos, the Coronation of Oberon, or the Battle of Quillwaters.
