A MERLIN VOCABULARY GUIDE
Branwen described
Fincayra as "A place of many wonders, celebrated by bards of many tongues.
They say it lies halfway between our world and the world of the spirit -
neither wholly of Earth nor wholly of Heaven, On Fincayra, "it is strictly forbidden that anyone with human blood should ever be born on the island of Fincayra. This is a land not of the Earth, not of the Otherworld, though it is a bridge between them both. Visitors come here from either world, and they sometimes stay for years. Yet they cannot call this place home." (p. 230) "In the far, far reaches of time, the people of Fincayra walked upon the land, as they do now. Yet they also could do something else. They could fly." (p. 233)
