Gentry

Each True Fae has its own page where they are described in deeper detail, with information about who they are, where they exist and how they work, links to plots which reference them or, more likely, their minions.

  • Activity - Local: This staff-created Fae has been active locally.

  • Preferred Victims - Lost and Found: She searches for lost children, or people crying out for help. Fiercely protective of her victims.
  • Common Creations - Friend or Food: Those who know how to make mother do what THEY want. Manipulators, convincing cons, loyal playmates, family pets, or prey beasts

  • Realm - The Herbarium: An ever-sunny garden where his blossoms grow, are groomed, and live forever.
  • Methodology - Beautiful Obsessions: Improves your beauty, grace, elocution, sends you to others in bouquets and, if you're beautiful enough, presses you between glass to stay lovely forever.
  • Preferred Victims - The Loveliest of Them All: He searches for the beauty queens, prize winning dancers, elegant speakers.

The Borrower

  • Creator - Staff: Annapurna
  • Activity - Local: This staff-created Fae has been active locally.
  • Realm - The Proving Ground: Environmental penalty? What's that? An entire realm? You don't say...
  • Methodology - Be the Best of the Best: Improve or perish. Changelings are run through bizarre tests of combative visual/auditory/sensory acuity to procure the most gifted of them all. Prone to 'borrowing' the eyes, or ears, or tongues, of those whose senses he wants to acquire for the day.
  • Preferred Victims - You: He isn't picky. When you go through so many changelings, so rapidly, you really can't afford to be choosy.
  • Common Creations - Keen and Paranoid: Sharp of senses...or not. Fight or flight. Commonly Beasts and Ogres. Most often maimed.

The Noemata

  • Creator - Staff: Rainier
  • Activity - Local: This staff-created Fae has been active locally.
  • Realm - The Seventy-Eight Steps: An impossibly massive step pyramid, surrounded by desert during the day and rain forest by night. A persistent hiss of glinting beetles.
  • Methodology - Questing and Lessons: Everything is symbolic. Especially you. You will learn and relearn your lesson until you can teach it to others, until it is all you know.
  • Preferred Victims - Ordinary or Extraordinary: Nearly anyone can fall victim to the Noemata. All it takes is, for one moment, showing some spark of an archetype or some need to learn.
  • Common Creations - Archetypes and Insects: Many of the Noemata's creations personify a tarot card, both the major and minor arcana of equal importance. Many, instead, are the beetles which flitter about the Seventy-Eight Steps, most of which are glittering blue-green or otherwise jewel-toned.

  • Realm - The River that Ate the Moon: Idyllic fields and marble estates set upon a brilliant, glittering river where the sun never sets and every wish can be fulfilled.
  • Methodology - Unrelenting Excess: Pleasures upon pleasures, every desire indulged. Except the desire to stop. When does not enough become too much?
  • Preferred Victims - Prudes and Hedonists: Milk attracts the wholesome, the pure, while Honey draws in the decadent, the indulgent.
  • Common Creations - Abnormally Moral: Those who escape Milk and Honey's sweet torment tend to be either excessively strict in their morality, having repeatedly experienced the dangers of indulgence, or extremely loose in their morality, having lived too long with the lines between good and bad blurred into nonexistence. Many gravitate toward the Sun or Moon Courts.
  • Allies - None Known

  • Methodology - Terror and Theft: He steals your memories. He'll steal more if he catches you slacking. Always look busy. Or hide. Hiding is always an option.

  • Methodology - Tedious Drudgery: Paperwork, accounting, filing. Census taking and collating data. Exciting stuff.
  • Preferred Victims - Drudges: He selects those who excel at being cogs in the wheel of bureacracy and office work. Detail oriented, middle-management types. Government officials. He largely takes those who do not have many ties in the world, the ones that won't be missed.
  • Common Creations - Admins: Almost exclusively, those that come out of the Tally Man's domain are Wizened.

  • Methodology - Keep what you Kill: If you can take something from someone they must not have wanted it very badly to leave it so very unprotected. Often includes raids on other Gentry.

  • Methodology - Once Upon A Time...: Most end up as players in the stories that are acted out in the area surrounding the library. Very few actually enter The Library itself and those that do never see anyone else unless they are tapped to take a role in a story as well.
  • Preferred Victims - Shy & Unwanted: For the Players that make up the bulk of those there, anything goes. They're the ones scavenged from other Gentry.
  • Common Creations - Players & Bibliographers: The Librarian actually takes few people itself and only when there is a need for someone to work in The Library and a good candidate presents themselves.

  • Preferred Victims - The Stereotypically Engrossing: Policemen two days away from retiring, thieves with hearts of gold, troubled youths. Anyone who looks like the go-to source of drama in the media attracts her attention, be they actually interesting or not.
  • Common Creations - Heroes & Villains: Beasts, Darklings and Ogres are almost exclusively villains because they look what one would expect monsters to look like, whereas Fairest are almost always protagonists, leading armies and fighting their wretched counterparts.

  • Preferred Victims - Indiscriminate Selection: Employing roving bands of Loyalists, most victims are simply kidnapped from wherever and however might be convenient. Almost anyone who is in the wrong place at the wrong time might be snatched up.
  • Common Creations - The Strong Survive: Any Seeming might come out of the teeming streets though many are flavored by an anime level of Asian influence with a blending of folklore and action movie tropes.
