So starting with the big picture and working down to the details.
Picture yourself standing in a verdant meadow, in the impossibly blue within blue sky, a brilliant diamond of white light, shines through a kaleidoscope of rainbows to beam summer sunshine across the land, as far as the eye can see.. in the great distance, it seems like the land begins to slowly, gently curve away upwards, rising up at a horison determined by sheer distance and atmospheric haze.
The ground beneath your feet is soft and loamy, rich with plant, insect, fungus and animal life..everywhere you look, there is life and vitality. Standing still and just observing, for a short while one could perhaps mistake this for some fantastic planet, orbiting a very unusual star.
Then after some time, one would note that this day never seems to end.. it is always noon and the sun is not moving at all.
But of course, in the fey realm, looks are deceiving.
Above you, through a deep layer of atmosphere, is not a star, it is a white hole, constantly pouring energy back into the finite space of an enclosed universe.. deep beneath your feet, through the soil and bedrock, there is a spacial boundary, a limit to the extent of the universe, and everything around you, further than the eye can see, is in a perfect balance of entropic and vital forces.
If you were to head off in a straight line in any direction, eventually, years later, you would end up back where you started, because all of the land and the oceans of the fairy realm exist on the inner surface of a gargantuan sphere of matter.. the white hole throws out a rain of energy, and sometimes, matter, and it all filters down to become this thin shell which forms the world.
