Welcome to the
Realm of Pacifica
The fifth Realm of the Domain, Pacifica is one of the three largest Realms in the Domain. Within its bounds, the Realm holds beauty and power within both land and and the great Ocean that gives it its name, as well as the great ruling trees of the Ring of Fire.
Comprised of the American states of California and Hawaii, and the nations & territories of Eastern Oceania, Pacifica is dominated by the Pacific Ocean: which makes up most of it's total area
Pacifica has had three Rulers in its history, but has not been ruled since 2009. Until it gains a new Ruler, and despite the sprawl of civilization, Nature holds guardianship and sway over the Realm.

Places of Interest, Power, and Enchantment
Places of Interest, Power, and Enchantment
Hyperion
The tallest tree in the world: taller even than the Statue of Liberty and Great Britain's Big Ben clock tower, Hyperion is amongst the youngest of the coast redwoods. At just 800 years, and standing on his own hill at over 379 feet, Hyperion is considered by many to be the king of kings of all trees (though others would holdthat title if you went by either size or age).
He stands hidden somewhere with the rest of his court in the Redwoods National Forest, in the Emerald Triangle of Northern California: adjacent to the Cape Mendocino Triple Junction, where the Cascadian Subduction Zone, the Mendocino Fault, and the San Andreas Fault converge. Along with that interesting fact is the fact that the region he grows in is considered the most ideal place for certain types of agriculture: specifically the marijuana plant.
Such a place of power points to the seat of a king. If so, then Hyperion is that king.
