Oswlads CARZY IDEAS!
I like the idea of a vertical world. The center could be air (or earth for the inversion). We could also do a progression across the elements from inside to outside, or vice-versa. On a smaller scale, this would mesh with the Porous Planet model proposed below, with the Sky Vines method providing the related inversion. I like the idea of combining both together actually.

Porous Planet
as you apporch the center of Faierie the gravity decreases untill the very center is Zero-G. now take the plannet and scoop out the gooey center. punch some holes all the way through from one side to the other. and throw in a bunch of caves.
so if you were so unfortunate as to be in the very center of the plannet you could look out it maybe 10, 1000 places where you could see the sky. every where else looks like earth and rock that has been shoot at by a racoon with a shotgun. these scattered holes lead to endless (and I mean tottaly endless) caverns that stretch all the way to the serfice. just think for a second how much surfice area is on a plannet.... but now you have the entire volume to walk through. in theory you could jump down one of the long holes on the surfice and go mostly to the other side before you run out of momentum (air friction does slow you down). that is assuming you don't get caught by the giant spiders and other horbile creatures. I think the House Prime should have an outlet somehwere near the center so our heros don't have to make the horendious, 99.9% fatal drop. File:Faierie caves.jpg
Regions
Faierie can be classified into several regions. The exact locations of these regions, and their relation to eachother, appears to be rather fluid, especially those regions inhabited by many of the Fay. Humans tend to solidify the landscape around them, though many of the changelings have grown as much innured to the fluctuating nature of Faierie as the Fay are. The only solid locations of reference (for humans at least) are the few human cities.
Enchanted Forest
The largest congregation of Fay, the vegitation exceeds even the most prolific rainforests. Fayrie dust fills the air, and glittering motes drift from the borders into far off regions. The earth beneath breathes with tunnels and deep caverns, shot through with massive roots and colonies of fungus.
Desolate Mountain
The largest population of humans, it has never been inhabited by the Fay. Though water is in good supply from the many storms which rage around its peak, food must be brought in from other regions.
Three Seas
A set of three large bodies of water, all flowing into eachother. The directions of the flows change from time to time as their locations drift across the land. The House Prime is located on a tributary of one of these seas.
