SHADOWS & DREAMS
Where Faerie and Nightmare Hold the Same Door
Tir na nÓg
A realm behind our world.
This is not the past.
It is another layer of the present.
In Shadows & Dreams, the modern world exists alongside an older one—
a realm that never vanished, only withdrew.
Access to Tir na nÓg is not governed by time or light,
but by Áit Thanaí—Thin Places—
where the veil between worlds grows fragile.
These thresholds appear as doorways, mirrors, forest clearings,
forgotten roads, and quiet spaces where meaning gathers.
Step through such a place, and the familiar world falls away.
Cities like Vancouver give way to their deeper architecture—
stone, timber, banners, bridges, and faerie halls
that exist behind glass and steel.
Here dwell the Sídhe, spirit beings born of dream, memory,
and ancient obligation—
neither benevolent nor cruel by nature,
but bound by laws older than humanity.
Names carry power.
Promises bind across worlds.
And what mortals dismiss as imagination
continues to watch, remember, and endure.
Shadows & Dreams explores the tension between these overlapping realities—
where beauty and terror share the same threshold,
and every doorway may open onto wonder…
or nightmare.
