The fae of this court are generally polite, bright-eyed, and bushy-tailed. These fae are more apt to lure humans in with sweet dew. They also have blossoming curiosity. Firstlighters tend towards seeking peace, and believe that seeking peace with mortals is best for everyone. They tend to be peppy, quiet, seductive, and emotional. Firstlighters often enjoy the company of humans. Many of them are changelings.
Although Eventiders often perceive them as weak and Nocturners disagree with their message entirely, Firstlighters try their best to be neutral in the affairs with the other courts.
The Firstlight Court will take anyone, but is generally more attractive to Seelie.
In addition to many of the same titles the other courts inherit or appoint, the Firstlight appoints one of its members to every substantial human settlement, which they refer to as the Fiddlerfae. Their duties include filling the settlement with music to make it a more pleasant place to be, protecting it, and reporting on what the humans in that settlement are up to.
Firstlight consists of just 7% of all fae. Of those, 57% are Seelie, 29% are Unseelie, and 14% are not affiliated with a major court. Their numbers are decreasing. As humans keep learning more about this thing they call science, they become scarier, which makes the Firstlight message less appealing.
Code of the Firstlight
- Protect the innocent whenever it’s at all possible.
- Honesty is honesty, and implied untruth is still a lie. Harmless pranks just for fun and happy surprises are okay but other than that, say what you mean and mean what you say.
