What does "shey" mean?

[Zootcat]

In the Rise of the Runelords Player's Guide it states that some traveling gnomes might come from "the shey citadels of Irrere." What does shey mean? It's not in the dictionary.

It's just a guess, but shey might be a misspelling of fey and it might be a reference to a fey controlled area in the north. A witch queen of Irrisen is mentioned a lot in some gamemastery modules.

It's not a misspelling (though I MIGHT have made the word up). Don't worry, we'll get to those soon. ^_~

It might be a Golarian term similar to "sidhe" (pronounced "shee"), a Gaelic (Celtic) term for the fey. ("The sidhe citadels of Eire (Ireland)?")

Or it could be something else...

Anticipating the future detail...

From Wikipedia: Shey is a town in Ladakh that has the old summer Palace of the kings of Ladakh. It is located 15 km. from Leh towards Hemis. The palace was built more than 555 years ago by Lhachen Palgyigon, the king of Ladakh. The old palace Gompa has the largest golden Buddha statue in Ladakh.

I could've sworn you were talking about somehwere in Ireland until you popped out that part about Buddha. Oh well, shows what I know. (Stupid public education...)
