Seasons

Seasons in the Kingdom are the same as on earth but certain areas keep their favourite seasons far longer than we do.  For example, there is a Winter Wonderland area in the Kingdom so the other seasons are brief. 

Flora and fauna again resemble that found on earth but there are species in the Kingdom that could never be found outside a magical environment.  There are trees and beanstalks that grow and grow and where climbing is very much done at the climber’s own risk.  Not only is there the terrifying thought of what you might find at the top, there are the creatures that live in these plants that need facing as well.  Not all are friendly!  The giant flowers in the Palace gardens really are giant.  And you should see the bees that pollinate them! 

Colours are brighter than on earth.  The subtler shades are not appreciated by most in the realm, the attitude being if you’ve got colour, you may as well have as much of it as possible!  Colour blindness is unknown in the Kingdom though given the brightness of the hues this counts as a miracle though the Queen and Eileen believe eyes react to whatever environment they cope with and magical eyes are used to such brightness.
