The magic of the Summer Sidhe is the magic of life, heat and passion. New growth of Spring, the lethal beauty of fire, the violent destruction of a summer storm-all examples of Summer magic in the real world. The magic of Summer is wild, free and radiant, leaning towards light and feeling. The capital city of Soas is a place where the sun is always shining. Light, airy aromas fill the streets brought by beautiful flowers and fruit in colors unimagined by humans. The royal palace of King Claudius lies in a giant mound that is covered with a gigantic hedge of thorny briars, described as a large, bearded head. The palace is actually a forest-like combination of trees and hedges that can take you anywhere in the court, if you know where to go. A large courtyard of marble pillars and fountains are always filled with revelry and activity where the the sun always shines.
