The World: Faerie

When one finds themselves in Faerie it is not as simple as just turning and walking out, at least not for a mortal. Faerie is a fickle thing, something that weaves and changes like the tide or the wind. One moment you could be facing a brick wall, turn to look behind you and when you face forward again you find that a vineyard or orchard has taken its place.

Now, most Mortals might find this to be very disturbing. Fae and Otherkin that call Faerie home find it to be quite the opposite. When the lands of faerie stop changing at the whim of the unknown, then and only then would the inhabitants worry. After all, most Fae are at least aware of change… Some might not be as fond of it as others, but it is a fact of the land they live in.

When a Mortal first finds themselves in Faerie, they are often struck by how odd it all is. Water comes straight out of stones, flowers of unusual colors, ice next to flame, and the weather changes in the blink of an eye. Nothing is normal and yet everything is. The easiest way through the chaos is to find yourself a Fae guide.

This is the point where any Mortal should know something very, very important. Nothing is free in the lands of Faerie. If you need directions a barter is made, often times the Fae in question will ask for something small; a thimble, a kiss, something shiny, the memory of your first true love’s kiss, your first memory as a child. To them, all of these things are small, but each Fae has something to gain from what they request as payment. What this means is that you, as a Mortal should be very careful what you promise or barter away.
