Tyr-Gwyrd is a far-off land somewhere to the north and west of Arad, and the ancestral homeland of the Faewyr clans. It is a mysterious place, being protected by the Draumfeldr (or Cloak of Dreams) which is purported to cause those who pass through it to forget secrets about the land it protects. It is sometimes referred to as the Twelve Realms, implying that there are twelve primary territories there, though details beyond this are greatly lacking. Any information provided cannot be assumed entirely accurate, though scholars have done their best to gather the most prominent points in legends and tales from those Faewyr whom have passed through the Cloak of Dreams surrounding their homeland to set foot on foreign shores.

Often described as mystical and primeval, Tyr-Gwyrd is dominated by massive, ancient forests, with occasional patches of open moorland. Faewyr habitation tends to be in the more open places or along the coasts, where the people are safer from the feral beasts that have called the deeper woodlands home since long before humanity was born. In fact, many Faewyr legends state that the most ancient of Animal Spirits dwell within the deepest forests of Tyr-Gwyrd, where life first came to be.
