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.

The Mother Who Feeds

  • 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
  • Allies - Mother's Hounds: The most vicious of her children are set to police the rest and find new prey.

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.
  • Allies - Several Known: He has contacts with a variety of known Keepers who send him their discards, and regularly purchases captured slaves from Privateers.

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.
  • Allies - None Known

Milk and Honey

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

  • 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.
  • Preferred Victims - Loners, Lonely, Alone: King Nothing picks off those who are isolated from society, who are alone or hiding, who no one will miss for at least a little while.

  • 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.

  • 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.
