Faeries

Upon birth, all Faeries inherit the Contract that first tied their ancestors to the Astral Forces and grants all members of their Folk the title of Starchild.

By the power of this Contract, Faeries are born with beautiful wings, which allow them to hover and even fly.

The counterpart to this extraordinary Contract handed down through generations is the binding of the Name. Always remember that Faeries are bound to uphold all written agreements they undersign with their name. Those who dare withdraw from a signed agreement will face Terrible Terrible Things.

Known to most for their beauty, grace, and exquisite proportions, Faeries are also characterized by charming wings like those of a conceited dragonfly, made of a shiny, see through membrane, that takes on many different shades.

Faeries are usually slender and tall. Their skin is proverbially radiant, free of imperfections, as soft and smooth as refined spider silk. They are also known for their icy, almost expression less eyes.

Fairy blood is thick and somewhere between orange and yellow in color, a feature that gained it the label of warm blood. In contrast, the adjective “cold blooded” is sometimes used by Faeries as a pejorative to refer to and even insult other Folk.

Fairy culture celebrates and cultivates all that is pleasant, satisfying to the senses, and all around beautiful. Among other Folk it is common to hear “they look like a fairy” to describe especially charming or beautiful individuals.

They are known to be polite and generally welcoming, but do not expect warmth or friendliness in their homes, and don’t be offended by this lack. Fae hospitality is very different from that of the other Folk, but just as sincere and authentic.

Faeries have a very rigid etiquette system, a jungle of strict requirements and taboos that can prove extremely hard to navigate.

Faeries are less than a fourth of the total population of the Household. 

Figures show that Faeries are most likely to choose a career in politics or in the military, but also that among them were born some of the most famous members of the artistic, scientific, and cultural community of the House.

The language spoken by Faeries, Fae, is unanimously considered the best for singing.
