Rath

A rath is a mystical door or gateway that leads from the chimerical reality of the Autumn World to the Near Dreaming. Most freeholds have one. The landscape immediately surrounding a freehold in the Near Dreaming is called a homestead and it often reflects the nature or state of health of the local holder. It is common for raths to be met with a trod- a road or path through the dreaming. Beyond homesteads, it is extremely dangerous to travel in the Near Dreaming except by staying on a trod, especially trods that are hewed with a Silver Path.
