Seelie Fae

The Seelie are the denizens of the Shining Hall. A Kingdom of light, prosperity and growth. Massive Forests and Gigantic Castles stretch for miles and miles across a land that never knows night, winter and death. Nothing dies here and age is a myth. Time does not flow the same in their realm as it does on ours, so this can have odd effects on anyone who becomes trapped in this dimension.

They are a people of pale skin and colourful clothing, bright golds and pastels, anything that's vibrant, not always colour co-ordinated too. They are a strange people indeed, like all Fae, aloof and disinterested unless in the Mortal Realm, for they are soon drawn into plot after plot. Their hair is always long and flowing and they favour gold and silver as a colour for it. Their eyes are always one colour and look like liquid silver, gold, green and blue. Their skin seems to give of an odd sheen at night and often glimmers with a soft glowing radiance.

Looking at them can be best described as looking at them through a lens, they seem much more real, more alive and more in-focus than the rest of us. This is down to the remains of their magic when they cross over into our worlds. Of course they may never go back and enter their homelands again but for some of them that is a little price to pay. For such an aloof people though they do love magic and magical things, alongside the craft of Storytelling. It's possible to enrapture and enthrall a Fae of this branch with skillful, clever and perhaps poignant tale-spinning. They do love to sit for hours and hours and just listen to a story. It's no surprise then that they make haunting musicians and skillful actors, often being found as an inspiration to a playwrite or the patron of a musical college or university.

They find most drinks and food on this side of the mirror bland and unimaginative, so it's a real treat when their Faewine is found in a place, they'll pay through the nose for it often and try to get more and more when they find a supplier. It borders somewhat on a fanatical love of the stuff, but never to the detriment of another person. They wouldn't kill for a bottle let's say. Their music is a powerful and frightening compassionate kind, drawn from the very soul of their being it can move even the most cruel man to tears unless he has no love at all for anything in his life. A very rare being that must be. I will note here that the Music of the Seelie Fae cannot affect the Unseelie at all, who think it sounds like two cats being chainsawed into bits while thrown into a tin-can. There is no great love lost between them at all. Both loathe each other.

The Seelie Fae use magic and alchemy to make their weapons, which are always magicked and of unearthly fine make, sharpness and durability. A smith of this race will not often craft anyone a blade of Seelie design for they are considered to be priceless and oft given as tokens of love or friendship to the most deserving of their kind. Bottom line, don't ask for one as a first time player, or as a non Seelie, it'll be refused flat out. These weapons are powerful and rare.
