idk if holly has ever addressed the folk's origins but i have spent an unnecessary amount of time thinking about it and have decided they're immigrants
#the courts we know of are all clustered in the northeast#aka around the main port of entry (historically) into the us#maybe there are courts further west and south#but we don't hear of them#and the fae lore is european#(celtic? i've never seen an analysis of which lore tfota is referencing & that's definitely not an area i have much knowledge in)#meanwhile traditional north american teachings about the supernatural world#are indigenous and therefore varied#but from what i've seen do not contain anything analogous to the folk#so my headcanon is that the folk saw europeans emigrating and were like 'cool let's hitch a ride'#did anyone ask? no. but did i waste a lot of time thinking about it? yes.#tfota#the folk of the air#holly black#tcp#the cruel prince
