Sometimes they are elevated to gods and sometimes were once gods and have been stripped of their power. They appear in songs and poems and plays, over and over again. They are to blame for natural disasters, for deaths, for mental or physical disabilities or retardation. Over and over again, it is the fae who appear in culture. As time goes on, however, they fade in the face of science and explanations, of rational thought over superstitions. But the fair folk never did disappear. They simply stayed to themselves and ignored the silly mortals. The two courts, Seelie and Unseelie, may have faded from the common human's thoughts, but they didn't die out. The Seelie court, home of the Summer Queen Titania clung to the past and hoped for a time when they could return to what had once been. The Unseelie court, home of the Winter King Oberon, has slowly tried to change with the times but has grown resentful and hateful of the humans for encroaching upon what had once been their lands and for forgetting them. There are a few who are apart from the system. They lead lives of danger and dread, no system of rules or large group of fellows to save them from slaughter. These are the rogue fae. They lead short, violent, terrified lives and are hunted by both courts. The line between the worlds, the human and the fae, has begun to blur. Humans are accidentally wandering into the fae world despite what Titania and Oberon do. The fair folk are cautiously venturing into the human world to see what has changed and what has remained. A few changelings, human children taken as babes from their cradles, are caught between the two forces with no where to turn. Some fae clamor to close the gateways for good and to stay in their own realms. Others beg for the chance to see the mortals that are so ever changing in a way fae are not. And there is a small, unvoiced but very dangerous group that want to reveal themselves to the humans, either to join their society as friends or to enslaved them all and keep them as pets and servants. Your choices decide the way of the currently bloodless war. Will the fae join the humans, for good or ill, or will they stay to themselves for the rest of time? Be careful of your choices, for they could mean life or death for all. |
