Furies-Primary concern is the retribution for the killing of family members. We link them with darkness, death, night, and the Underworld. In fact, we also know them to drink the blood of mortals.

Gnomes-Shy and cautious by nature, they seek the company of their own kind.

Goblin-A fairy with injurious or malicious intent.

Grindylow-Water fairy who lives at the bottom of pits, ponds, and wells that grabs small children and holds them underwater until they drown.

Grundels-Found in the homes of larger elves/Fae, they have a symbiotic relationship where they will work for elves in exchange for a safe and happy home.

Kelpies-Associated with water and believed to be carnivorous and cannibalistic. Male kelpies can shift and lure young women into the water to consume them.

Trooping Fairies- Small, benevolent, and kind, freely helping humans.

Seelie Court-Light elves

Solitary Fairies-Tend to be injurious and if they chose to assist, it will be at a price.

Unseelie Court-Dark Elves, avoid light and can be intimidating when provoked.

The Prophecy of the Faerie Queen

There sits an imposter, a Queen of old

Frozen in time, without the touch of Gaia,

for Gaia has left long ago, leaving the throne without guidance.

Nature weeps, the breeze has abandoned the Fae as Darkness takes over

The Dark Fae, the Unseelie, will draw a line against the very core of nature

The cold will take over the hearts of those Fae,

for as Gaia creates, Gaia will also freeze to preserve.

The Light Fae will thrive and flee into the safety of the heart of Gaia, led by loyal warriors.

The vines beyond the Veil will run deep with blood in every death; every slight against the very nature of who we are.

Nature will twist and churn until the Unseelie are as unfeeling as the coldness in their hearts.

Until one worthy is born to unfreeze the hearts of those shrouded in darkness.

In two hundred years’ time, there will be a true Queen born of Gaia, one who will unite the Fae, both the Dark, who can be saved, and the Light, who may still need saving themselves.

Twenty years a child; twenty years running wild

Come, heart, for there is the mystical brotherhood.

Queen.

Not everyone is as they seem, despite their greatest of intentions, be wary.

The nights will be long, the darkness will soon creep within every shadow.

Travel in the light, travel within the path of Gaia. For the night is full of secrets, but the breeze will guide you with song.

Caution. For while secrets can destroy, they will also be the guiding force of the future.
