ugh this was funny i admit but also.
i hate michelle and it's so clear she knows darlington but doesn't get him.
his early and teen years were so horrible he ended up risking his life for a chance at a peek into this world of magic (see: the flashbacks about him living alone in black elm, dean sandow "recruiting" him in the hospital, the address moths scene), and because his curiosity and greed for knowledge are insatiable and it's all he's ever wanted (see: what golgarot showed/promised him during the second descent to hell), and once he got into lethe, he repayed it with dedication, loyalty, readiness to serve the ninth house and protect it with everything he has (a knight, an acolyte, the golden boy of lethe), only to be met with nothing back - not a single person acknowledging he's gone and willing to try to bring him back (other than alex and dawes, of course), not even his own virgil.
so yes, he would go to hell for anyone who needed saving and yes, he would also go to hell just to take notes on the climate. what about it?
it feels a bit twisted of her to be making fun of him for all that while he's supposedly suffering in hell and she's refusing to do anything about it.
Alex: Darlington...He'd go to hell for me, for you, for anyone who needed saving.
Michelle: Alex, he'd go to hell just to take notes on the climate.

y’know driving on the way to work this morning; i was thinking about those annoying people who comment on celeb articles who always say “who??!!” and variations of that, along with “why the fuck should i care what the rich motherfucker is saying??” like on some levels when the article is titled some dumb shit like “*insert random tik tok star here* starts new tiktok trend” or whatever im like “yeah i can’t remember who carla delasantis is either. but like there’s no need to comment about it??”
but when it’s something like “dixie d’amelio says she’s been diagnosed with pre-menstrual dysmorphic disorder/PMDD” (a good headline i saw just this morning) or another medical condition, im just like “yeah could you be rude somewhere else?? like she’s raising awareness kinda for it by saying she’s been diagnosed with it???” like. obvs this buzzfeed article that i scrolled past this morning while having breakfast had mostly positive comments from women saying “thank god she’s saying something about this debilitating condition! i’ve had this for years and it’s awful!” etc etc but obvs if i’d bothered not to just glance at the first few comments and read further down, there would’ve been plenty of the rude ass “who??” and “i’m obvs getting old bc i don’t care about this tiktok nobody!” and “obvs she’s faking it for attention” (usually from men).
like yes. these people are outrageously wealthy and somewhat annoying and everything else about TT “celebs” and celebs in general. but when female celebs/TT stars are sharing their experiences of something like PMDD or halsey and her struggles with endometriosis and pcos, these comments are absolutely downright fucking disrespectful and rude. like i don’t have PCOS or endo or PMDD; but for those who are have the constant daily struggle with any one or a combination of those conditions; it’s nice to know that someone with an outrageously vast following like dixie d’amellio (however you spell her name) is speaking out about her journey to diagnosis and final diagnosis of it (im assuming that’s what the video and the BF article were about) struggle with something as debilitating as that and has faced the same struggles with diagnosis as the normal person would.
like yeah obvs. they might have a slightly easier time getting a diagnosis bc they have better access to healthcare in the US than the average american; but i imagine it would’ve taken the same amount of years for dixie to get diagnosed with PMDD or halsey with her endo and pcos, than normal american women.
just. my point is. i fucking hate those “who?” and “why the fuck should i care what some shitty celeb or tiktok star is doing rn???” and “im so old that idek wtf this person is even relevant to my newsfeed??” when like. when it’s about something like PMDD or endo/PCOS….. or even justin bieber with his bell’s palsy in his face that’s made him cancel his world tour; these comments are blatantly fucking rude and disrespectful to other people with the same medical issues. the fact that a “tiktok no one” like dixie d’amelio is speaking about her diagnosis with PMDD to her fuck knows how many followers, is amazing. comments like this are probs why so many people don’t seek help also, besides the point when it comes to womens health, we’re already not believed anyway; and this just further spurs it on.

Episode 12 - "i'm baaaaaacckkkkk 😈" ~Jodi
Tumblr media Tumblr media
An iconic moment happened today and I accidentally voted my closest ally out of the game. So Brayden got sent home and he is going to hate me when he finds out what happened. I did kind of get him out on accident I did not mean for Brayden to go I wanted Jay gone but I was blindsided by Colin and Josh and Elle AND AMY!!??]£[_[3 Omg. Im really upset that hes gone i miss him so much and I dont know how Im gonna go on without his brain. I dont trust Jay but Jared and Jay were both messaging me about how they already forgive me and stuff so thats a little crazy. I think it could be fake or they are just desperate for numbers. But I am with Josh and Amy and Colin and Elle now. I want to be with their numbers. I talked to all of them individually and they said they all were sorry for lying to me and causing me to get my friend out. I know its just a game but I just feel awful and so guilty right now. This has probably been the worst day of my life. He probably will never play another org with me again and hes the only reason i play orgs its boring without him. We are best friends increal life and I hope he can forgive me. I havent said anything to him because thats breaking the rules. But when he finds out im literally so scared of what he'll say to me. I pray he will forgive me I am literally so dumb af.
Tumblr media
i'm baaaaaacckkkkk..................... 😈
Tumblr media
This is literally worst case right now with jodi winning the play back like throughout the day she has won back her allies including anastasia since she swapped coins with her. Elle, colin, and josh all gave me all their coins to grab immunity before the other side to protect me but also it makes me a bigger target lol plus I gave elle some swapped to get the second thing the leftover because I THOUGHT it could give us an extra vote since that was ony menu but I was tired and drunk and it was a LOT of words and it was just the hunts which I knew didn't have any and I feel terrible bc 150 tokens and my actual alliance is going to be so mad when they realize THAT I HAVE THE LAST ONES and fucked up in suggesting it at all. First they were going for info. So now I think Jodi got all the other sides tokens and they are pooling for something idek. It's literally worst case like we were set to be up 5-2 or at least 4-3 and now it looks like it's 4-4 again hahaha neat. And it looks like colin is chatting with jodi again and they are making deals lol like tbh if she gets to the end I am voting for her to win I've said it many rounds. Turns out anastasia and brayden not only know each other irl they are besties so she mad mad. And Josh looks to be making deals and thinking about flipping so I am on borrowed time but tbh I never expected to make merge. I am glad I have immunity bc I physically couldn't do the challenge anywU here lol and I fucked that up too hahahaha. Good times all around. Like I want to tell them about my steal a vote to have official numbers but now they'd just be mad hahaha literally colin and I had every advantage except jared's idol now. Ahhhh idk what to do but it remains hilarious. I'm expecting Raffy to give my info in these in the market and that is no bueno ahahahaha. I am tempted to just give colin everything bc it's funny. Also jodi talked to me until 1am just trying to guilt me into being back with her I said I have to sleep goodnight like 5 times minimum. Her social game is so good that's why I think she has them all back with her and possibly josh. The problem is that I was keeping her close bc she had the info from others and from my game. I really never had a number one lol bc I was just vibing and I guess now colin is bc I flipped with him lol and I think it's hilarious he grew his army from 0 to 5 almost.
~
I have a suspicion colin and anastasia have actually been closely aligned this whole time and she knew everything all along. Colin sure loves giving out info haha. And apparently deals are happening all over, none of which I have made 😂
Tumblr media
Jodi's backkkkk, wild wild wilddddd. The challenge went poorly, darn thats like 20 minutes wasted. We bought the refresh and there was nothing there 💔 that's 150 tokens wasted 😅. But! We got Amy immunity✨ and then Colin won the challenge so tbh everything's still going great lol. Wonder how we're gonna vote this round :/ we'll see how this goes! I've stopped worrying whether I'm going completely, it either happens or it doesn't 💖 xoxo, gossip girl (this is misleading I HAVE NOT SEEN THE SHOW i just know way too much about it because i have friends that did lol)
Tumblr media
So after I voted my showmance Brayden out of the game I was left with an interesting situation. I had cried to Josh Colin and Amy that I was alone now and that my whole alliance hated me. With Jodi back in, I dont think they believe me. I literally flipped sides so I could be in their alliance because I didnt trust Jay and Jared and Jodi. But they literally lied to me about the vote and said it was nothing personal to me but they didnt tell me the plan because they wanted to see if I was lying. Which sucks for me because I then voted Brayden out :( Now that they know that im truthful they said they would work with me now. But all of them have been pretty inactive today. I talked to Amy the most and a little Colin and a little Josh. But I wasnt in their alliance. So I asked Amy if I could be added into an alliance chat since I was apperently in their alliance now. And she said sure. And they added me to a vote block. That is not an alliance group chat btw. So I was like wow thanks. But inside I was like screw this. So before this all happened, Jodi, Jay and Jared put me in a true alliance group chat. This morning I was ready to work with Colin and Josh but not anymore. Not after they put me in a vote block chat clearly saying to me that I am just a number to be used. They don't even need my vote either because Amy has an idol and Amy and Colin are safe. So I'm obviously voting with Jay, Jared, and Jodi. And I know they probably have a final three without me. They could call it something really cool like the three J's. But I called Jay and explained everything to him. (Also Jay forgave me for literally trying to get him out. He umderstands that its a game and all of my motives about not trusting him anymore.) He said he would be a hypocrite if he didnt forgive me because he told people my name in the chaos vote. So I actually think we are cool. And I told Jay that I am his number one. Which is true. He told me a lot of things about how Amy is actually really smart and stuff (I thought that girl was just a goat that I could take to the end with me) But her and colin are tight and both immune. This is bad. Basically we will go to rocks unless Elle flips to our side. Jay is giving his pitch to Elle tommarow. And maybe I will apologize to her correctly tomarow too. ALSO SPELLING THE WORD TOMARROW IS THE HARDEST THING IN MY LIFE. Also I took 62 minutes to complete a puzzle today so thats kind of emberassing. Anyways bye everyone this was so much fun to type omg.
Tumblr media
Lol I woke up to a text from jodi asking if anyone was taking about votes yet and I said no because I went to sleep early bc I almost passed out from heat yesterday and had just woke up and she responded "ummmm lol...." 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry I sleep. She's in Colin's dms saying how I was legit her number one and now we can't even talk about votes. Like yeah girl we worked our asses off to get you out of the game sorry I'm not happy you are back. Also I'm still at disney world so I don't have the time for a million conversations. I know I'm going to be the Russell Hanz of the f3 /if/ I make it. So what's jury management lol like she was already pissed I voted her out and I plan to do it again. Anyway it looks like it's hilariously about to be a unanimous jay vote tonight but I am thinking we throw one vote somewhere else in case of an idol. But if jodi did get anastasia back we can't do that. Anyway lol I'm immune so whatever. Elle and Colin discussed like if it's on elle (which apparently jared proposed an alliance of 5 which included myself lol!) Then we could go to rocks and have only josh as a possibility and statistically he won't go if he is willing to go to rocks that it. All this to say I'm f7 and I want to keep my extra vote to f6 if possible so I can use the idol for fun at f5.
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
My quest has come to an end. I joined this game to be someone who could be there for Jodi. Jodi and I played survivor subrosa together and we both had rough experiences due to a player in the game who harassed jodi and tried to convince everyone I was misogynistic. As much as I love Survivor, I didn’t play this game to win. I played this game because Jodi told me she was playing it and I wanted to be her body guard. I wanted to be someone who could be there for her both as a number but also as an enforcer, anybody who ever dared to do anything to Jodi would’ve had to have dealt with me. Tonight, Amy and Colin have immunity, and either amy or josh or elle have an idol, so there’s no point in making any noise tonight and wasting Jared’s idol. None of those 4 trust me, and I doubt any of them like me. It is what it is, it’s best for Jodi, Jared, and Anastasia’s game to move forward without me, and it’s smart for Jared to keep his idol. Tonight, I will be voted out, and I am 100% at peace with it. 
Tumblr media
Since Elle, Josh, Amy and Colin pooled their tokens for immunity and advantage refresh, it means all the advantages and disadvantages are on our side. Plan is to send Elle a disadvantage and let Colin know because honestly it’s not hard to find out anyways. Jay doesn’t mind getting booted at some point cuz he wants to stand for me on the jury, but I don’t want to boot him right now. Obviously they won’t boot Elle, so I’m going to see if Jared will propose Anastasia. The thing right now is me/Jay/Anastasia/Jared also know next round is invisible. So I want Jay or Anastasia to send Colin and Amy disadvantages because if they’re paranoid seeing me Jared/Jay/Anastasia have advantages and they have disadvantages, they might be paranoid enough to play all their idols. I also wanted to keep Jay for this round as it’d be unanimous and something everyone can settle on. Jared wanted to do me/Jared/Josh/Amy/Colin as an alliance but has concerns about the 3 of them being in top 5 in the majority snd also Colin having his ideal f3. I told him my plan has the best shot at flushing all idols and hopefully we can either get Josh to flip or at least have Amy/Colin vulnerable at 5/6. Last thing is Jared is worried he’d be blindsided this round. I told him my plan and I said even if he wanted to flush his idol this round, next round should be ok if we all vote out Jay and the rest of them flush idols. Good to be back in the game! I genuinely believe Colin wants me as a shield at least for this round, and if I can make it through, I have a game to play. 
Tumblr media
Not everyone saying they only bought an advantage lol what about those other 70 tokens 👀👀👀 Like it must be jay unless someone is lying haha i am hoping people are just busy bc these answers I'm getting from Josh and Colin are concerning 😂 It looks like only elle and got disadvantages ☠️ I am really hoping not to be a target next round even though I know I will be haha. Next round is only 7 and I'd love to take out jodi and jared before they turn on me ☠️ especially since colin creeped on jodi's insta and it is possible they know each other from sports irl. And she was so concerned about all these pregame connections 😂 and here it was likely to deflect. Anyway I just swapped my position of having jodi do all the social work with having colin do all the social work knowing full well I'm not gonna get those end votes. I'm just trying to pull up my placement average now 😂. I hope everyone sees me as having no social game to take me to the end lol bc realistically I don't bc I don't care to put in that time this game. As I write from the pirates of the caribbean line 😂 So anyway if I'm not being lied to which I might be it looks like unanimous jay tonight but also I think the other group was talking split on jay like a 3-3-2 and I'm like wait the 2 wouldn't help. Elle are you okay with that? So I think they must have figured out I have stuff ☠️ I wonder what people REALLY bought haha okay bye
Tumblr media
Jodi is back, not just Jodi Jodi, but player Jodi. Player Jodi thinks a LOT. When I was out, the entire time I was hoping somebody caught on that Amy flipped because they knew to put a stray vote on Colin to protect him from chaos idol, but they left Josh exposed. Why? Because Colin knew Amy was going to throw a vote on Josh. Also, Colin tied with me for closest ally and that set off an alarm too. Onto the next. So Colin won immunity, Amy bought immunity, but this could possibly be good because it means they are playing knowing they are not at risk themselves. Anastasia is voting with them this round, but she's actually working with us. She told us that the actual plan on that side is: "Jay, Jared, Jodi vote elle and Elle, Amy, Colin vote Jay and Josh and Anastasia vote Jodi" Anastasia will vote me here to continue "working" with them for the next vote. Essentially, they thought that Jay had the merge idol this whole time and Colin was weary about it, and that's why he got nervous about sending out Jay last round. That told me Colin did not have the merge idol. Josh came to me too about Jay having the merge idol. But the way they're splitting the votes this round shows me now that somebody has stepped forward to mention they have it (likely Elle) because if Jay idoled, Elle goes in this split vote plan. Therefore, somebody must've been like "ok let's just be safe and split the votes, I have the other idol". That's good and bad because now Colin has no merge idol paranoia, and they're also able to use it together. It also did confirm to me they've talked about it. Here's where things get tricky. Player Jodi is so tempted to run with it and do a 4-3-1 Josh-Jay-Jodi but it's so risky and could possibly destroy the long term social game, especially if they idol for Josh and Jay goes anyway (we are not idoling for him here). So instead, I'm going to use Jay's vote out to the best of my advantage. Hopefully flush an idol if possible, maybe a steal-a-vote, something. Knowing about next round being invisible is good info for us. Having this info is so key and usually I would think that immunity for a round is bigger than this but being able to plan ahead for a GAME-CHANGING twist is crucial here. My move here is to play the game through psychological distress. I have no advantages! Since they're out of tokens from buying immunity, me/Anastasia/Jared/Jay bought advantages for ourselves and also sent out disadvantages to Colin/Amy/Elle. Seeing that not only we have advantages but also them having disadvantages, they probably still feel like things will be ok because they'll just split votes or whatever and one of them needs to win immunity. But given this is an invisible round, I think Amy is honestly paranoid enough to just play her idol, hopefully Elle does too, and then between me and Jared, we'll idol for one of us. I also plan on bluffing an advantage coming back from Jury, and say something along the lines of having to survive one round before the advantage got activated. I'm going for the win, everyone, I know that if I get to the end with anybody, I have a solid shot at winning. I just need to get there and to do that, I must play an adaptable game – more than ever. PS I am holding onto Jared's idol right now. Power (temporary) feels amazing. Dw I'm giving it back....😈
Tumblr media
this has been the most chill round in a while. which is really weird consider JODI IS BACK AND WE BLINDSIDED BRAYDEN LAST ROUND this round is turning out to be what I WANTED last round to be. everyone is talking with everyone, people are trying to disband the sides and all intermingle. it's really interesting how no one else was on board with this until after they lost majority. seems like people don't like playing from the bottom. weird huh now these bitches know how I felt >:( anyway. jodi is back. it's weird. she knows that amy flipped now and everyone is playing very carefully my ideal boot this round was either jay or josh, in that order. so when my gay ass WON IMMUNITY I immediately put out jay's name. we already have the numbers, but I also like said my piece to jodi and jared, this is yalls chance to prove to me that you're really with me and sides don't exist. the ball is in their court do i trust them? no. am I worried? no. i have immunity, the scariest thing rn is that I think Jay is voting Elle, and if Jared and Jodi are with him then that's scary, bc Jared has an idol. The ONLY people I would play my idol for is Amy and Elle, and Elle being in trouble means I might have to play my idol on her if Jay idols himself. We have enough to split, so I'm not worried, I just hope all goes according to plan. sorry my confessional is lame. its the weekend now so i have time uwu. I'll write more the next few days
Tumblr media
So this whole token twist thing has really annoyed me. Because of me wanting to show my loyalty to my alliance, i gave away all my coins to Amy so that she could but immunity. And against my wishes, Elle wasted her coins on the “advantage” which turned out to be a dud. I wanted to get coins together to buy game info or better yet, trade coins with other people. But i was left with nothing, while all the people on the other side used their coins to buy advantages in the next immunity challenge making it even harder for me to secure my safety. Maybe this new 2 Gays and a Jared alliance might actually pan out but im tired of getting the short end of the stick with everything.

Edgic:
Tumblr media
Power Rankings:
Tumblr media
Anastasia: She is in the middle of the two sides. They both need her for the rest of this game before a side is terminated. She is the most powerful because she is in the middle.
Jodi: Has regained a lot of her footing in this game. Is being used as a shield by the people who voted her out. The decision to vote out Jay is questionable, but she still has a lot of power thanks to the knowledge Anastasia and Jared feed her.
Colin: The head of the opposing side. Seems to not know what is really going on with Anastasia. But his allies are willing to take him to the end which is good. Needs to avoid falling into a Jodi pitfall.
Amy: Her rat behavior has been exposed, but her allies are still willing to defend her. Second in command on the Colin side. She is being handed these immunities.
Jared: Jodi’s new #1. Will probably make it to the end of this game. However, he isn’t calling the shots and is in danger of being targeted as an “easy” vote or being called a goat at the end. Needs to start taking fate in his own hands.
Elle: Lost a lot of footing because of not telling Anastasia the truth. This move caused Anastasia to go back to Jodi’s side which will hurt in the coming round. Is the next target for the Jodi side.
Jay: Died on the sword for Jodi. I am confused why they didn’t just stack 4 votes somewhere else, but it is whatever. Has basically given up.
Josh: Left out of a lot of discussions. Is on the outside of his alliances and from the opposing side. Is the most in danger of getting targeted or being a casualty of an idol.

Buckle up, kids, it's time to for a just left of half-assed fey post. IDK if anyone still wants it, lol, but here we are.
Shorter cheat sheet courtesy an old Q&A here if you aren't on the discord server/missed @overlycaffeinatedwarmage sharing it.
Ride the Storm spoilers ahoy. The Dory books are a lot heavier on the fey side of things, though.
*claps hands* While doing this I realized I should just update the wiki, but I hate working on wikis! Some day...
Some History
Absolutely everything is goddamn hearsay from random vampires and bb Pritkin, SO. Grain of salt.
Basically the gods discover Faerie, decided the current inhabitants didn't meet their standards for servants, and proceeded to breed with them to fix this. Thus were born the current inhabitants of Faerie.
Superficially the fey are broken up into the Light Fey (who are the pretty, elfen fey) and the Dark Fey (the ugly cousins that nobody cares about). The light fey have three great houses: the Blarestri, the Svarestri, and the Alorestri.  (These are the names people on Earth use for them. The real names are long and lyrical and not shared with random humans. Sky Lords, etc., are seemingly slightly more proper.)
The gods had two main warring factions, the Vanir and the Æsir. The Blarestri worshipped the Vanir, who were gods of nature/fertility (including our fave huntress). Meanwhile the Svarestri worshipped the Æsir, aka gods of war (such as our Ragnarok starring faves: Thor/Apollo, Tyr/Ares, and Odin/Zeus).
At some point the Æsir displaced the Vanir and "banished the Blarestri from Faerie," leaving their followers the Svarestri to rule.
When Artemis' spell kicked all of the gods out, the Blarestri and Svarestri went against each other in the most brutal war Faerie has ever seen. More than ten thousand died, which is... a heck of a lot when you're nigh-immortal and have the birth rate to match.
Neither side really won, per se, but the Blarestri eventually retook the throne and remain in control until today. Æsubrand mentions in passing that Caedmon's sword, the Sword of Kings, was used to take the head of a Svarestri king, which could be related to this war, but there's no confirmation.
(What the other fey were doing during the war is sort of up in the air. Some of the dark fought on the side of the Blarestri and some on the side of the Svarestri. A lot of the animosity from this remains today, though we've yet to actually see any of it. There's been no mention of the Alorestri and the war.)
So. Some basic info.
The Blarestri (Blue Fey, properly known as the Sky Lords)
* The current ruling house of all of Faerie, their colors are blue and gold. * Natural affinity for air magic, and gifted with nature magic by the Vanir. They can connect to plants/animals. * The area they live in is sorta mountainous, but growing food isn't a problem thanks to said gift from the Vanir. * Only male heirs with majority fey blood can inherit the throne. * Claim no involvement in human slave trade and smuggling things that would make the Circle angry, but they definitely were involved in the former and are still involved in the latter...
* Caedmon: (supposedly Great King in Gaelic) Current ruler of all of Faerie. All the usual Blarestri powers you'd expect, plus he can throw lightning bolts. Cassie thinks he's a demigod. Forward as hell and Heidar says his family "has a reputation for being irresistible," which could just be how they are or could be something else. Overall fairly pleasant and jovial for a super ancient fey demigod. * Heidar (meaning bright lord, for his pretty hair, or Alarr more officially, meaning general): Caedmon's half-human son. Fell for Dory's roommate Claire Lachesis, who is just barely over half (dark) fey, making their son Aidan a contender for the throne. * Efridís: Caedmon's sister. She married the Svarestri leader as part of the treaty to end the war (and supposedly because anything else would be beneath her). She's particularly skilled at glamourie and "farseeing," which allows her to watch through the eyes of animals, though the specifics are fuzzy.
The Svarestri (only ever referred to as the Svarestri to my knowledge)
* Colors are black and silver. * Affinity for earth magic. * The Æsir gifted them with control over storms. Rain/snow/lightning bolt energy spears/etc. * Live in the rocky, cold, infertile (just like them) northern area of Faerie. It's great for ore, but not for feeding themselves. * Took losing their place when the gods left really hard. They remain religious zealots bent on bringing the gods back and retaking Faerie. * Compulsory marriage and childbearing, since they need to bulk their army back up. * The bigots of Faerie. Consider other light fey to be "thin-blooded" from centuries of marrying humans and Dark Fey to be monstrous experiments by the gods. Never shut up about it. * They don't spend much time on Earth because of said bigotry (to the point of making traders come to them instead of vice versa iirc, but I can't for the life of me find where it said that to confirm it), but necessity forces their hand more and more. Their plot to bring back the gods means they're now working alongside the Black Circle and other groups/individuals to this end. (If you haven't read the Dory books you're missing them being a large part of the attack on the Consul's home, etc.) * Have I mentioned the bigoted religious zealots thing?????? * Incite of a lot of the stuff going on between the Alorestri and Dark Fey, taking land from both and pushing them to fight with each other. Nimue accuses Aeslinn of supplying the Dark Fey with weapons, even.
* Aeslinn: Religious zealot asshole. This has probably been reinforced by wearing a helm infused with part of Ares' spirit for centuries. Sometimes called the Winter King. * Æsubrand (meaning sword of the Æsir): The son of Aeslinn and Efridís, making him a pureblooded fey with royal Blarestri blood and giving him a better claim to the throne than anyone else until Heidar and Claire meet. Just wants to "unite Faerie." Gifted in the use of all four elements.
The Alorestri (or Green Fey, Water Lords)
* Affinity for water magic. * Ruled by Nimue and considered pretty weird for it by the rest of Faerie. Women? In Power? Yikes. Only the weird green fey would do something like that. * Supposedly not too interested in politics. * They spend a lot of time in the woods (probably fighting the Dark Fey), hence the green. It's camouflage. * Share a border with the Dark Fey and the Svarestri. The Svarestri take their land, so they turn around and fight the Dark Fey for their land or vice versa. Rinse, repeat. * Which is also why the Alorestri spend the most time on Earth of all the fey, trading for things they need and kidnapping human women to bolster their own numbers. Or exchanging help against invading armies, etc, for human women.
* Nimue (the Lady of the Lake): Leader of the Alorestri and former wife of Caedmon. We don't know what exactly split them up, when, or why. Big on human trafficking. She had and used Achilles' shield for centuries, allowing Ares to influence her and use her fear for her people to push her further and further over the edge. * Igraine: Half human daughter of Nimue. Married Gorlois and facilitated alliance between the fey and Britons with terms that were increasingly more beneficial to the fey than the humans. Saw to the human slave trade for her mother as a way to prove herself, not that it would have ever made a difference. * Morgaine: One of Igraine's daughters. Wanted to be accepted by the fey like her mother, but she was only a quarter fey and refused to continue her mother's endeavors and was kicked out of court. Rosier attempted to seduce her by teaching her magic and she turned around and used him to get all four elements. Both got what they wanted, but it didn't work out as planned for either. The fey were no more accepting of her and Nimue hid her away and refused to let her leave. After escaping she taught and helped organize the covens specifically to help fight against her grandmother's slave trade.
The Dark Fey
* Affinity for fire magic. * Not as pretty and seriously treated like crap, basically. * There are a lot of different clans, but they're together enough that they, say, honor the blessing of another clan (if they're not currently fighting each other and don't still hold a grudge over The War). * Continue to be displaced by the border disputes with Alorestri and Svarestri, forcing many to flee to Earth. As illegal immigrants that don't easily pass for human with little to no experience on Earth, this isn't ideal.
* The Morrigan (her celtic title meaning great/terrible/phantom queen): Daughter of one of the Dark Fey and Ares. Forced to help try to kill Cassie in Hunt the Moon. * The Dark Fey King: Cool name or title other than the Dark Fey king? Who knows. Super tall. Wanted the Codex for some reason... As of Hunt the Moon, the Dark Fey king has apparently been kidnapped by the Alorestri, who may or may not be working with "the bad guys" only "nobody seems to know." The Morrigan claims she only helped the Spartoi for this reason.
We kinda know less about the Dark Fey while having met more of them? And idek who else to include as notable.
* The Spartoi: Demigod sons of Ares. Fairly memorable...... * Olga and her troll family: Dory's friends/housemates that moved in after Drac killed Olga's husband. They eat a lot. Olga's a kick ass secretary and always has nice nails. * Radella: Mouthy pixie, captain of the night Guard, etc. KC said she's coming back at soooome point. * Miranda and co.: The kitchen staff at Dante's. Love kids and trying to come up with new dishes. (I just miss my grumpy cat gargoyle lady....)
Random/General Stuff
* All fey can control the elements to some degree. * I can't tell if it's a general light fey thing, but the Blarestri, at least, cast "light shadows" (they glow) in the human world. It doesn't come up often. * Fey that are half-human have their fey side come out at puberty or when they... first have sex with another fey... (Honestly, who needs fanfic when there's Karen Chance's endless ingenuity when it comes to coming up with plot reasons for characters making out.) * There's an assembly of elders called the Domi (that Caedmon claims sent him in MD), though idk if they're Blarestri or a more general light fey council. * Names have power, etc., so everyone goes by titles and names given to them by others.
If you're writing fic and prone to too much research: Most names and words are at least vaguely Norse/Gaelic (with the meanings occasionally fudged, I think) (and there's one weird case of middle english that KC never brought up again...). Stuff like the Old Norse section of nordicnames.de would probably be helpful.
And, while I'm here: the Ruins of Langgarn. Attributed to Egil Skallagrimson, though some stories say he stole them from a witch with fey blood. Later we hear they're rumored to have been made by Odin himself. Hmmm...
* Hagalaz - cast upright: creates a storm, cast inverted: calms a storm * Jera - fertility * Dagaz - time * Naudiz - wearer can't be killed * Thurisaz - turns the user into a giant ogre for an hour * one that lets the user open a portal directly to anywhere in Faerie they want to go that Claire apparently absorbed in Buying Trouble and is gone???? (This story is a decade old now, so.......)
