	Special Notes: There are virtually no Mythos elements to this adventure by default, and this adventure is almost purely based on folklore. Keepers wishing to tie this in more closely to traditional Call of Cthulhu elements may wish to re-cast the [[Tir na Nog]] fairy land as a Dark Ages version of the [[Dreamlands]]: it would require very little effort to simply give the descriptions of the fairy folk and their world a Dunsanian [[Dreamlands]] flavor (see "[[The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath (fiction)\|The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath]]" for ideas: descriptions of the vivid colors of sky and hills and mountains, the textures of exotic materials, misty cities in the distance, hints of peculiar dream peoples and creatures lurking in the background, references to [[Ulthar]] and other dream locations, etc.)		Special Notes: There are virtually no Mythos elements to this adventure by default, and this adventure is almost purely based on folklore.

	The scenario includes a map of the village of [[Sogailraugh]] with numbers on it referring to a map key that wasn't included in the scenario - this is because there was actually two parts to the submission, and only one part was included; the missing part consists of detailed source material for the village which could make it suitable as a setting for future adventures.

	Dependence on Halloween: Somewhat heavy; ~~the "Halloween" elements could probably be written out of~~ the scenario~~, but the scenario wouldn't be the same without them: the scenario makes nice, atmospheric and apparently carefully researched use of~~ the Dark Ages ~~folklore of the British Isles and the pre-Halloween version of the holiday,~~ Samhain~~. The Dark Ages treatment of the holiday has a unique flavor of its own,~~ and ~~fits right in with~~ the ~~mythology and plot~~ of ~~the story~~, and ~~I think the scenario~~ would ~~feel incomplete without it. Even if you wanted to play all the other scenarios in~~ this ~~Monograph without any Halloween elements in them, I would strongly recommend playing this one with as intended~~.
