Name: The court Moto: everything has a season price The Court is the colloquial name for the Fay. While the court lacks a single unified leader, there are several self styled kings and queens of the fay, to whom lesser spirits pay defference. The fay have a detailed and convoluted hierarchy which is nuanced by season, time of day, location, and power. There are as many kinds of fay as there are mortal creatures on earth, and each has its portion of power. Fay do not die as we think of death, when one is slain they are reborn, with the same knowledge and personality as before, but at the bottom of the fay hierarchy. The longer one lives, the more power it has, and the closer to the top of the hierarchy it gets. Those toward the top live under mystically enforced rules which prevent them from ripping the world apart in their bid for dominance. Among these rules is that a fay cannot kill another fay who is within one step of themselves on the hierarchy. (ie: a 1 cannot kill a 1 or a 2, but can kill a 3. A 2 cannot kill a 1, 2, or 3, but can kill a 4. A 3 cannot kill a 2,3,or 4, but can kill a 1, or 5. Etc) There are other rules that the fay live by, for example, a fay cannot lie three times on a given subject. A fay is bound to pay its debts, and to keep its word, though they are masters of technicality and manipulation, and if a mortal breaks their word to them, the deal is off, and the fay is released from their obligations. Fay follow their own interpretation of a deal, which will always be consistant with the wording of that deal, but is rarely consistant with the intention of the mortal involved. A fay’s power is directly related to their authority and position in the hierarchy. It has also been observed that their form tends to change over time, as each becomes more powerful it also becomes more human like, until reaching the level of the Sidhe whom, despite their almost human appearance, are undeniably the top of the hierarchy. Fay can sense each other’s position in the hierarchy, so even fay who have never met before know their position relative to each other. Otherwise, fay are known to be pranksters, mischievous creatures who enjoy watching the misadventures and antics of mortals. They experience life in extremes, from purest joy, to abject sorrow, from an inferno of hatred to boundless love and lust. Life is too long for moderation, and many fay spend their time trying to push the limits of any given experience or sensation, or discover new sensations and experiences to expand themselves. Fay are universally known to hate the touch of iron, or the ringing of iron bells or gongs, as the former burns their skin and the later gives them headaches that can prove life threatening if unabated. Most Fay are fond of breads, milk, and honey, and will accept these as payment for small favors or requests. while most fay can cast illusions, looking at them through a hole in a stone, or a metal ring allows one to see through the mirage.
