What Does Draoithe Mean?

Essays from Draoithe


Curious about why I named my epic saga Draoithe? I wonder the same thing. A brief video clip explains what the term means. But it doesn’t quite lend itself to understanding what Draoithe is, exactly. So read on for more.


The meaning of Draoithe


So if it’s an immortal kingdom, what kinds of characters inhabit Draoithe? Immortals, beings with magic, humans, shifters, wizards, demons, dragons, witches, devils, angels, vampires, things you’ve read about in medieval bestiaries, and characters invented just for the nine realms. There are probably beings with magic I haven’t met yet.


What are the Nine Realms? It might be easier to show you than explain it by mere words. Some of the characters which inhabit the realms are listed.


The Realms inside the dream

There are spaces between the realms which are part of the Void, spaces surrounding the realms which are part of Infinity, and there are beings who reside outside of the dream like the elvish lords at Asylum. Are you intrigued yet? So am I.


The dream and the stories it holds continue to be revealed by the muse, and I have dutifully written and begun publishing as many of these tales as I can edit and format. At the time of writing this post (2025), there are over 30 titles published in the dream and more than double that in various stages of writing, editing, and formatting. There are 17+ miniseries and flash fiction pieces and standalone short stories.


If you love dark fantasy and want the happily ever after common in paranormal romance stories, allow me to invite you to step into the Draoithe Saga, where fated mates find the balance, building the strength necessary to combat a murky evil they as yet don’t truly understand. Welcome to the dream…

Sneak Peek at Kings Wilde 1/15/2025

  Draoithe Preview Chapters Introduction: This blog features random scenes from works in progress within the Draoithe Saga by Ophelia Kee. These works are primarily urban fantasy and paranormal romance with magical realism, dark themes, and fated mates sprinkled throughout.

Vampires: Villains, Heroes, and Bloodlust 1/12/2025

  The Thirst, a term used by vampires to describe their need to ingest blood to keep their immortal existence. Some feed on animals, others on humans, and still others feed on their own kind and other immortals. -Excerpt from A Treatise on the Vampire's Nature, Duncan O' Sullivan Vampires: Villains, Heroes, and Bloodlust  Vampires have long enthralled audiences with their dark allure and insatiable appetite for blood, and represent a complex mixture of seduction, danger, and moral ambiguity. The Draoithe Saga often portrays vampires as unlikely heroes, antiheroes, and tragic victims. As dark urban fantasy and steamy paranormal romances, the stories set in the dream usually offer sexy vampires as main characters who find love and ultimately join the fight to balance the magic of the dream and preserve their eternal existence. But what happens when rogue vampires succumb to bloodlust? In the modern dream, vampires live in enclaves, ruled by powerful vjestice vampire princesses. ...

Incubus and Succubus Research 1/19/2025

  Incubus and Succubus Research Essays from Draoithe “I don’t care how dangerous it is. This isn’t living. I watch all my people barely survive. We constantly fight the slug incursions and lose more of us. There’s no happiness here. So long as I remain unbalanced, so, too, does the entire house.” -Sandor Liderk, living in squalor at Talamh Marcra, 2010 In Tantalu, the prequel tale in the Draoithe Saga by Ophelia Kee, readers meet Sandor Liderk, the Prince of the House of Liderk and the owner of Tantalu Ostain. Liderk is an ancient incubus demon family which rivaled the House of Incubai for power in the Netherworld. A war with the Satyrs nearly eradicated all incubus demons from the dream. With the remnants of the House of Liderk forced to live in poverty at Talamh Marcra, Prince Liderk sought a way to reunify his people and risked everything on rebuilding in the Leaindeail. It's a twisted fairytale meant for adults. But what are incubus demons? How did Ophelia Kee write these ...
