A field guide to the setting

Explore Tír na Scáth

Tír na Scáth is a grim Gaelic frontier where a scattered people hold the narrow ground between the dark and the manageable.

An illustrated field map of Tír na Scáth, showing its mountain spine, coasts, forests, rivers, and islands.
Tír na Scáth The Land of Shadow A field map of the whole frontier. Published atlas leaves begin with the settled heartland, windward coast, and shadow-steel mountain.

What keeps returning

  • Shadow-steel is drawn from veins near the veil, and deeper cuts do not always return everyone who entered.
  • The settled live behind walls and granaries; the exposed hold open ground with a fence and a prayer.
  • The sea remains a founding wound, and the drowned Old World still shapes what people fear may be coming.

Three places to begin

  1. 01 · the Core; the walled, settled heartland

    An Croílár

    An Croílár is the fixed centre: walled towns, granaried granges, and roads built by people who meant to stay.

  2. 02 · the Great Shore

    Cladach Mór

    The windward shore is a chain of headlands and cliffs whose changing faces are read as records of what the water has taken.

  3. 03 · the Mountain of Shadow

    Sliabh an Scáil

    The mist-wrapped inner spine holds shadow-steel veins where An Saol and An Tairseach draw closest together.
