      When Approaching the Fair Folk

      By Kate Jonez

      In the Europe of long ago where flickering candles and feeble flamed torches were the only things holding off the darkness and the monsters hiding within, fairies were an important bridge between human folk and the more frightening supernatural forces inhabiting the world. Throughout most of history people rarely traveled more than a few miles from home. The unknown was a source of endless fear and speculation. Forests were dark and horrible places full of giants, dragons, ogres and all sorts of other horrors.

      In contemporary times fairies are often depicted as beautiful, small versions of humans, often with wings. This is a somewhat cleaned up and sanitized version of fairies but unlike most supernatural beings, fairies do look and behave a lot like humans. It is possible to communicate and even do business with them—if you are very careful.

      Perhaps because of their resemblance to humans, fairies have always taken a great interest in human affairs. They help with the cleaning, protect crops and offer advice. They are intrinsically moral beings and believe in following rules. They aren’t servants of human folk, though. Their priorities are with their own lives and concerns. Sometimes if humans are dishonest or greedy as they often are, fairies steal their children and leave changelings behind, or use their glamor to change their appearance to lure the foolish person into danger.

      Fairies have a big bag of tricks and folklore is filled with tales of their exploits. It’s best to approach them with a pure heart and a big helping of caution.

      The Black Act Glossary

      Age of the Wise Women: A time occurring after the transgression of Drea McCleod when the witch women among the Dalthwein became guardians of the sacred valley of the fae. They were the only humans allowed in the sacred valley.

      Black Act: A serious crime, such as murder, withering a fae, spying on the fae’s secret rituals, or stealing a fae’s essence. Committing a black act can lead to exile in the wastelands.

      Burrow: Underground homes of faeries. Connected by the travel tunnels.

      Council of Elders: Elders of fae and Dalthwein who gather together to decide Drea McCleod’s fate.

      Dala: The planet that the fae and Dalthwein inhabit. Their creation myth states that Dala’s spirit created all of the beings who populate the planet. She is held sacred by these inhabitants as a mother goddess.

      Dalthwein: A once nomadic coastal clan of tribes who settled in the Dalthwein region under benevolent fae rule. By the fae, they were gifted the name Dalthwein, which means People of Dala.

      Earth Slug: A large, slug-like creature that lives underground. It has a patchwork body comprised of dirt, roots, stone, and earthworms. It has a mouth made of mud, filled with teeth made of shale. It also has massive arms made of white root. The earth slug pulls its victims into its mouth and smothers them by burying them alive.

      Elder: The oldest and wisest members of Dalthwein, wise women, and fae. They serve as teachers and make decisions on all important matters. Different elders have different designations, such as elder scribes, elder shamans, etc.

      Elder’s Quarters: A section of property within the guild lands given to the wise women elders. Only the oldest and wisest among the guardian guild live here.

      Elder Main House: Where the oldest elders live. The guild’s most sacred possessions and documents are stored here.

      Energy Signature: The vibrational pattern of a human’s ether or a fae’s essence. Each vibrational pattern is unique to the individual. Depending on their skill in magics and their connection to Dala, some humans, mostly witch women, have an energy signature similar to the fae. The vibrational pattern of an energy signature changes depending on a being’s mood or state of mind.

      Essence: The soul of a fae. The center of their essence resides in their heartcore. By stealing a physical piece of a fae, a person can steal a piece of their essence.

      Ether: The soul, or etheric body. The part that travels in astral journeys, or goes to the Summerlands after death.

      Exile: Where a witch woman, fae, or Dalthwein is sent if they commit a black act. For witch women (wise women), this is to the exiles’ camp, in the wastelands. Fae are often exiled to the southern forests or wastelands.

      Fae: The first beings Dala created. They are essentially immortal, but there are some ways they can die. Death for a fae is called withering. They procreate in a manner similar to plants, so their essences
