A Multiverse created for The Icehouse as a Development Project
Ruairí didn’t know why he did it. Some urge or internal “voice” convinced him to drive for miles, park the car, and then walk further into the night, until he reached the stone circle. He walked into the centre and then lay down on the central stone (which some people might consider to be an altar). As he lay down a deep sense of calm came over him and he drifted into what he thought was some strange form of sleep. Even though he felt that he was sleeping, he was able to stand away from the central stone as it quietly lifted onto its side,revealing a stairway of stone steps leading downwards into the earth.

Imagine being in a misty, damp and mountainous area, where ancient stone monuments are frequently found , where legends and myths have been carried down over centuries by word of mouth, from Elder to Child. This is the world that you find yourself in at the commencement of the Druidic Multiverse.
Ancient portals to different Universes exist, Universes where different beings live and different challenges await you. After you have passed through the first portal, time and space seem to no longer exist. You are able to pass seamlessly from one Universe to another - alone or with companions, with tasks to achieve, decisions to make, batlles to win or lose, and loves to make or destroy.
