    TA doesn't mention it. In fact, the only place I can think of which
    does is the Raven's description in Blood Enemies (although I've not
    read all the novels). IMO it's the name given to the boundary between
    the SW and Cerilia, rather like the Gauntlet in the World of Darkness
    games, which can be strong (and hard to pass) or weak depending on
    location, time, etc. etc. etc.

    Tuar Annwn and the Shadow World

    Tuar Annwn is in the Shadow World? Pardon, but I have not been able to find
    TotHW in my local store. Their distributor stopped getting BR stuff when
    the big boys dropped it...

    So is TA like Siddeath in Tuarhievel? That one was hammered by a spell of a
    very powerful wizard that killed everything in the province. There's been a
    whole lot of speculation, but no hard info on how this being tapped the
    barrier between the worlds.

    So, did someone break the gap or did it just happen?

    Imagine this for a campaign, (don't know how close it is to Essence of
    Evil):
    For some unexplained reason (to the players) the Shadow World begins to
    merge with the real world on a very large scale. Entire provinces are
    wholly subsumed and armies must be mustered to deal with plagues of undead.
    For the melodramatic, the players could be the only hope for the world when
    they are given a clue to the cause and set out to seek to eliminate it. If
    that wouldn't be a task to set the Imperial Chamberlain on your side!

    Anyway...

    On a related topic, is there anything in TA mentioned about "the
    Evanessence". It is mentioned as a source of magic and labeled the barrier
    between the Shadow World and the real world. Aside from that there is
    nothing printed. How can it be used? What the heck is it?

    Thankx

    The long and short of the story of Tuar Annwn is that a Vos army was about to
    exterminate them some time ago. All of them. The the wizards of Tuar decided
    to REALLY cut loose. It shredded the veil, unleashed horrible things and the
    Vos invaders destroyed. Horrible things are said to live there now and it
    appears that the kingdom may be caught somwhere between this world and the
    Shadow world... The elves (reports from the raving madman or two who actually
    have visited TA recently and lived) are apparently, tall and gaunt with
    greyish skin. They appear to need to bathe themselves in a lake to maintain
    their semi-existance.

    Well, that's a taste (without having the book handy, and not have read it in
    over 8 months).
