Maneshi Al'zrada

## Introduction

Maneshi is a ginnaya afrit who came to Dharnam to see the last ambaros, Eran Iliakambar, and to aid Gwyn ap Nudd in battle against Olphix.

## Appearance

In Dharnam, Maneshi had 'her hair braided intricately around the base of her horns', and 'flame-coloured eyes'. Eran thought she was beautiful.

## Personality

Greeting Eran made her tear up, and she struggled not to cry.

## Life

Maneshi to Dharnam with other ginarra and desert fae and met with Eran, noting, ‘We are here because we heard that the last ambaros is here,’ Maneshi said. ‘Because we heard that he walks with the Dual King, and that he has a blessing from Kabiri, and because he walks with the one who is stopping the ice. We are here because we lost our homes, and the desert – though less dangerous – is still dangerous, and we can fight no wars against the ice, but we can fight a war nonetheless. So we are here to pledge ourselves to the King.’

Eran told her that they didn't need to pledge, because Gwyn would still rebuild for them. Maneshi replied, ‘That is why we need to pledge'.

Eran took the group to the coat vendor he'd visited, who gave them all discounts on account of Eran bringing her so many customers, and then the group of fae spent time together. They 'laughed and reminisced and sometimes teared up over everything they’d lost together.'

## Relationships

#### Eran Iliakambar

She and Eran got along well, and she was tearful when meeting him. Eran was so happy to see her and the other desert fae. He also noted that she was so beautiful that if he hadn't met Mosk Manytrees first, he would have courted her.

The Mountains of Orban

**The Mountains of Orban** is a location in the fae realm.

## Appears in

Canon extra:

*The Ash and Gwyn Interludes*

## Description

During the Winter Court, a group of fae began 'demanding gorzalka from the Mountains of Orban', which is seemingly a type of alcohol that is hard to come by.

Zahak

**Zahak** is a former King of the Unseelie Court.

## Personality

According to the Raven Prince, Zahak was a 'very old, stern, and powerful King' and the zahakhar was a 'curse'.

## Life

According to Augus Each Uisge, Zahak was 'one of our oldest Kings . . . One of the good ones.' He was an 'extraordinarily powerful' Mage 'and wanted to resolve any problems associated with the monarchy in the future.' He 'created a charm that would create a feeling of homecoming for any future monarch that might enter [the Unseelie] Court - the guide the Unseelie Court, to guide future monarchs.' This was the zahakhar.

Gwyn ap Nudd said that Sounhaqh's protective magic dated back to Zahak's time, although it's unclear if the two are related.

Zahak may have also had interest in sexual dominance, submission, or both, as Augus said there were shelves of literature on the subject in the Unseelie Court library, and attributed it all to Zahak.

## Special Abilities

Zahak created the zahakhar. The Raven Prince and Gulvi Dubna Vajat are the only known monarchs besides Gwyn to have felt the zahakhar. Apparently it compels those who feel it to return to the Court. Gwyn thinks it's possible the zahakhar is stronger when he wears the crown of the Unseelie Court.

## Trivia

* Zahak's name is spelled 'Zahak' in *Game Theory*, and 'Zahakh' in *The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire.*

## Folklore/Mythology

'Zahhāk or Zahāk (pronounced [zæhɒːk]) (Persian: ضحّاک‎) also known as Zahhak the Snake Shoulder (Persian: ضحاک ماردوش‎) is an evil figure in Persian mythology, evident in ancient Persian folklore as Azhi Dahāka (Persian: اژی دهاک‎), the name by which he also appears in the texts of the *Avesta*. In Middle Persian he is called Dahāg (Persian: دهاگ‎) or Bēvar Asp (Persian: بیور اسپ‎) the latter meaning "he who has 10,000 horses". In Zoroastrianism, Zahhak (going under the name Aži Dahāka) is considered the son of Ahriman, the foe of Ahura Mazda. In the *Shāhnāmah* of Ferdowsi, Zahhāk is the son of a ruler named Merdās.

. . . In Ferdowsi's epic poem, the Shāhnāmah, written c. 1000 [CE] and part of Iranian folklore, the legend is retold with the main character given the name of Zahhāk and changed from a supernatural monster into an evil human being.'

Zahhāk committed many great and evil deeds.

Arinaud

**Arinaud** is an Unseelie fae who is possibly a brewer or distiller. He briefly appeared in *The Court of Five Thrones*.

## Life

Arinaud is present at Gwyn ap Nudd's Triumphal Entry, which is held some time after Gwyn becomes King of the Unseelie. When Gwyn announces the opening of the night gardens and tells the crowd that Ash Glashtyn provided the drink, Arinaud shouts that it was probably stolen from them, which Ash denies, to laughter from the other fae.

As Ash replies, 'Not this time,' it is implied that he has stolen alcohol from Arinaud before.

Winterwest

**Winterwest** is a city and is 'the Unseelie equivalent of Summervale', located near the Seelie Court itself.

## Appears in

Major canon:

*The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire*

## Description

Eran Iliakambar describes it 'as richly looked after as Summervale. It was different, the cobblestones beneath his feet were black and grey, but they sparkled with mica. In the sky above, gryphons whirled, for no other reason than they seemed to be enjoying themselves, dressed in long flowing capes and play-fighting with each other. There were more animal shifters on the streets too than in the Seelie town of Summervale, many in hybrid form, twitching large furred ears or lashing tails, animal eyes glinting.

The buildings were a mix, some built with marble or limestone, other stones he didn’t recognise, there was even one that seemed entirely made of a huge seam of amethyst. The streets were lined with streetlamps that each had an iron gargoyle sitting upon them, looking down with watchful eyes. Chairs along the pavement were shaped like sleeping animals, as though inviting those who needed rest to recline against a lizard’s belly, a cat’s side, in the crook of a bear’s mighty forearm.

In the middle of the town he saw a huge water fountain, a large sculpture of the Traitor King wielding a sword and glaring down, above a confection of sculptured animals; a raven, a stag, a stallion, a mouse, a swan, and others still. At the base of the fountain, in the huge pool of water, a fae with huge round eyes, a tiny mouth, and bits of waterweed growing out of her head swam back and forth in it, and occasionally folded her arms on its edge and watched the people going by. There weren’t as many as in Summervale, but there were still the nobles on horseback, the carriages, the servants carrying items to and from their rich employers.

The one thing Winterwest had in abundance that Summervale didn’t seem to, was a large military presence. There were soldiers about, in plate-mail, in scaled armour, in leather and felted vests. They walked about in pairs or groups. They’d stop at intersections and talk to each other, pointing in different directions. Even though their armour didn’t match, they wore the colours of the Unseelie Court – black with minimal white. Some had peculiar golden badges or armbands, and those who wore them seemed more authoritative.'

After the ice plague encroaches further in the fae realm, and the toll of not being able to visit the human realm wears more on fae, Winterwest possibly becomes unsafe, due to the desperation of Unseelie fae who need to feed and are going hungry.

The river Boann

The **river Boann** bears a child with High King Dagda: King Oengus Og. Oengus is fostered to Midir, who is later slain by Elcmar. In return, Oengus kills Elcmar.

## Folklore/Mythology

'According to the Yellow Book of Lecan, Elcmar served as chief steward for Dagda, one of the most important and powerful of the Danann. His wife was Boann, goddess of the River Boyne, who developed a great passion for the Dagda. To consummate this union, Dagda sent Elcmar to High King Bres on an errand around the time of Imbolc. Boann . . . [became] pregnant. To protect the sensibilities of his steward and the life of the child, the Dagda held the sun still for nine months so Boann's pregnancy lasted only one day; elsewhere, the Dagda kept hunger, thirst, and darkness from Elcmar during his journey, so that it only seemed to be a day for Elcmar. Boann named the baby Mac Og and gave him to the Dagda. The child was reared by his foster father, Midir, safely away from any retribution that Elcmar might desire.

Elcmar and Oengus mac Og eventually meet when the Dagda passes out the sithens and omits giving one to Oengus. To make up for his mistake, the Dagda tells Oengus how to trick Elcmar out of the Brugh na Boinne. On Samhain Oengus challenges him to a duel and defeats him but spares his life if Elcmar will give him the Brugh for day and night. For his life Elcmar accepts the offer.

The absence of an adjective leads to Elcmar losing the Brugh to Oengus. To placate his steward the Dagda gives him another sithen. There is no love lost between Elcmar and Oengus, and Elcmar is present during the infamous hurling match that results in Midir losing his eye.

Although Boann is not named specifically as the mother of Englec, the daughter of Elcmar, there are no tales of Boann ever leaving her husband. Englec develops an incestual passion for her half brother, although she has never seen him. Slipping away to a hurling match where she expects to see Oengus, she ends up being carried off by Midir.

Englec winds up Midir's lover. Elcmar kills Midir afterwards. In turn, Oengus kills Elcmar for killing Midir.'

In folklore, Boann was Elcmar's wife, but had an affair with Dagda, which produced Oengus, who was then fostered to Midir. Although there were other circumstances involved that have not been presented in *Fae Tales*, it's possible that in *Fae Tales*, this was why Elcmar slew Midir.

Rock-speakers

## Introduction

Rock-speakers are a potentially Unseelie species of fae.

## Abilities

Given their name, it's possible they have some ability to interact with rocks.

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

The ones in *The Court of Five Thrones* appear to reside in a mountainous region. Gwyn ap Nudd had the idea to appeal to and exchange something with this group to gain an advantage during war with the Seelie Court.

Sapwill

## Introduction

Sapwill is an Unseelie Court fae servant who briefly stops by to offer Augus Each Uisge afternoon tea during the events of *Unwound*.

## Personality

He seems polite and respectful while performing his duties.

## Life

Lammergeier shifter

## Introduction

Lammergeier shifters are fae who shift into lammergeiers, also known as bearded vultures.

## Physical Description

Lammergeier shifters have not been described in canon, but like other shifters who appear as the animal they share a name with, it is likely that their true-form resembles human realm bearded vultures.

## Abilities

Lammergeier shifters are able to fly, and as some of them joined Gulvi Dubna Vajat in the sky during the war against Albion, it is likely they are similar to swan shifters and can fly in both hybrid and true-form. Those trained by the Council of the Lammergeiers are skilled assassins.

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

Little is known about lammergeier shifters, save that there is a Council of the Lammergeiers that trained Gulvi to be an assassin and gave her the tattoos around her upper arms once she graduated. It is not known how many members the Council has or how assassins are seen by their culture.

Pia stated on their not\_poignant tumblr that the Council is an 'elite, esoteric cult of Unseelie assassins and hitmen, who value body art and inking, as well as really fucking hard initiation rituals'.

## Trivia

* During Gwyn ap Nudd's first Winter Court Masque, Gulvi dressed as a lammergeier by wearing warrior leathers, as well as 'a well-tooled bearded vulture mask with rubies set around the eye-rims, the red beard itself a thick fringe of garnet beads' on her face.

## Folklore/Mythology

'Iranian mythology considers the rare bearded vulture (Persian: هما, 'Homa') the symbol of luck and happiness. It was believed that if the shadow of a *Homa* fell on one, he would rise to sovereignty and anyone shooting the bird would die in forty days.'

Vilasini

**Vilasini** is the child of Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden, and sibling to Yukti, Zrimat, Uday, and Suvidh. They are a great-grandchild of Fluri the Mouse-Maiden.

## Appearance

### **Status**

* Court
* Underfae (former)

## Life

## Relationships

### Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden

Fenwrel noted that even if she disinherited Vilasini, like her other children, they would still be her children.

## Trivia

* The power that flows toward Vilasini upon promotion to Court status is described as being blue and green.
* It's unclear but possible that Fenwrel's children are also mouse shifters, particularly given the rarity of true hybrid fae.

Mangaka

Otro nombre: Nihhon

Capital: Osaka (Imperial)

Forma de Gobierno: Nominal.

Los Mangakas poseen una larga y sangrienta historia de 10000 años, sus origenes se especulan como una creación de los Antiguos para colonización de mundos con poca luz o subterraneos(esa teoría se ve reforzada por lo grandes que son sus ojos y lo delgados que suelen ser)  son un punto y aparte en el orden galactico, ya que a diferencia de la Santa Liga, Mayoria o incluso la Confederación Baharata estos poseen un gobierno nominal (Emperador) y el resto va por donde quiere y conviene no obedeciendo a nadie nada mas que a si mismos, dando pie a la fuerte presencia hanseatica y al faccionismo imperante.

Aunque inicialmente emularian a Zhonghoo en su forma de gobernarse esto solo duró 1000 años, el Emperador cometió el error de delegar demasiado poder en los Dym's (señores feudales) y degeneró en la anarquía que son hoy los Mangaka, provocando una división socio-cultural sumamente importante que los definiría en los 9000 años posteriores.

 Aún divididos y enfrentados entre si, los Mangakas son una fuerza opositoria terrible de enfrentar contando con una inusitada habilidad estretegica (fruto de sus constantes guerras) y poseedores de los llamados Dõ (caminos) que les permiten sorprender a multitud de sus enemigos y tambien cuentan con los Kyojin, los poderosos avatares de la guerra.

No tienen división politica real si no una división socio-cultural como ya se habia mencionado y son las siguientes:

Shonen

Seinen

Yaoi (al borde del exterminio)

Yuri (al borde del exterminio)

Hentai (al borde del exterminio)

Ecchi (al borde del exterminio)

Otterkind

*'We only want you to try. This used to be our home.' - Amarth*

## Introduction

Otterkind are a kind of freshwater fae who reside in or around lakes. The ones introduced in the canon attacked and fatally wounded Augus, in revenge for his killing their family members through the Blight.

## Physical Description

'They were otter-pelted creatures with frog’s eyes and rows of sharp teeth, with a name unpronounceable to most fae, though in the common tongue they were known as otterkind.'

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

'They fed upon the energy of accidental drownings.' When the otterkind in canon attacked Augus, they used knives and other sharp implements to injure him.

They appear to have large families.

## Life

Thactris served as the Raven Prince's page during the Raven Prince's reign as King of the Unseelie Court.

While Augus Each Uisge served as the Raven Prince's advisor, Thactris came to Augus in private, presumably for Augus' healing services as a dominant. Afterward, the Raven Prince asserted that Thactris told him *everything* of the encounter, and needled Augus into telling the Raven Prince as well. Augus refused, likely because he retains the confidence of all his clients.

The Dullahan

## Introduction

The Dullahan is an Unseelie fae who served as a member of Augus Each Uisge's Inner Court while Augus was King of the Unseelie.

## Personality

Since the Dullahan feeds on those who see him, and only used his Unseelie Court throne once, as he couldn't 'handle so many others around him at once', he seems at least slightly agoraphobic.

## Life

Although the Dullahan helped Augus destroy the fae realm for a time, he left shortly after the Nain Rouge and Jenny Greenteeth left Augus' Court.

## Trivia

* His throne in the Unseelie Court was 'rustic'.
* Pia noted on their not\_poignant tumblr that there is only one Dullahan at any time, which is why he is called 'the' Dullahan.

## Folklore/Mythology

'The Dullahan, Durahan or Dullaghan (Irish: dúlachán, /ˈduːləˌhɑːn/), also called Gan Ceann (meaning "without a head" in Irish), is a type of mythological creature in Irish folklore.

The Dullahan is depicted as a headless rider, usually on a black horse, who carries his own head on his arm. Usually, the Dullahan is male, but there are some female versions. It is said to be the embodiment of the Celtic God Crom Dubh. . . . The mouth is usually in a hideous grin that touches both sides of the head. Its eyes are constantly moving about and can see across the countryside even during the darkest nights. The flesh of the head is said to have the colour and consistency of mouldy cheese. The Dullahan is believed to use the spine of a human corpse for a whip, and its wagon is adorned with funeral objects: it has candles in skulls to light the way, the spokes of the wheels are made from thigh bones, and the wagon's covering is made from a worm-chewed pall or dried human skin. The ancient Irish believed that where the Dullahan stops riding, a person is due to die. The Dullahan calls out the person's name, drawing away the soul of his victim, at which point the person immediately drops dead.

There are rumours that golden objects can force the Dullahan to disappear.'

In which Augus returns back to his home on the Hillview Rehabilitation Facility grounds to an anxious Mosk, who is trying to self-soothe by nesting. But Mosk can’t nest properly when Augus isn’t there to help him through it.

## Characters

#### Augus Each Uisge

Augus is a peak alpha employee of Hillview, and bonded with Mosk. "Augus, over his lifetime, had bonded with fifteen omegas and they’d all graduated into their separate partnerships successfully."

Augus is affectionate towards Mosk. He can follow the scents of other people, and smell fear.

#### Mosk Manytrees

Mosk is an omega resident of Hillview, and bonded to Augus. "Mosk had a habit of unfolding all the blankets and refolding them obsessively, because he hadn’t been allowed to keep any kind of nest growing up, and he still couldn’t let himself nest when Augus wasn’t there. He let himself touch the blankets, and he had to hold them against his body while finding the corners to fold them, and that was the closest he got." His family didn't want him. His fighting spirit was repressed when he arrived at Hillview, and it seemingly took Augus weeks to get it to emerge. He used to dissociate through sex, but mutual physical affection was difficult.

Augus noted that "Mosk might be a few more months out from graduating. That, or they’d have to find someone sensitive to his needs." Mosk was alarmed by the alarm at Hillview, and unfolded and refolded many blankets in Augus' absence. He enjoyed Augus tying him up.

To Augus, Mosk smells "astringent and tangy". He was also at least mildly passive aggressive. He was willing to fight other omegas for Augus' attention.

Mosk dyed his hair green.

## Omegaverse Worldbuilding

#### Alphas

"Not many alphas wanted to bond with omegas and then let them go again, form a relationship close enough to desire a mating bite, and then elect not to do it."

"A healthy alpha would want their omega to feel comfortable and happy".

#### Omegas

Omegas at Hillview who are unwanted by their families are potential candidates "for an arranged marriage with Hillview-approved alphas and even some betas".

Omegas seem to build nests out of blankets for comfort. "Most omegas only needed three or four blankets".

"Omegas typically didn’t protest around alphas, especially ones they were unfamiliar with. But in a bonded pair, an omega should feel free to express themselves safely."

Thursday

**Thursday** is a fae servant at the Unseelie Court.

## Personality

Thursday appears to be one of many fae who want nothing to do with Augus Each Uisge after Augus' reign as King of the Unseelie Court. Nonetheless, Gwyn ap Nudd seemed to trust his judgment on treasury matters, noting that if Thursday refused Ash Glashtyn's request, it was probably for good reason.

## Life

Thursday is an Unseelie fae who manages some or all of the Unseelie Court treasury.

While Ash is trying to pay off a 'debt' that Augus supposedly owes to the linchetti that ultimately requires Ash to obtain some expensive wine, Thursday refuses the requisition, as it is too costly. When Ash attempts to explain the story of Munaciello, Thursday refuses to listen, because it involvesAugus, so Ash goes to Gwyn for help, instead.

Zrimat

**Zrimat** is the son of Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden, and sibling to Yukti, Vilasini, Uday, and Suvidh. He is the great-grandson of Fluri the Mouse-Maiden.

## Appearance

### **Status**

* Court
* Underfae (former)

When Zrimat first arrives in the Unseelie Court during *The Court of Five Thrones*, he wears, 'a cheap, three-piece black suit from the human world.'

## Personality

Zrimat appears uncomfortable over his status increase, and though Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden says that the status increase might entice him to return from the human realm, she also says she is uncertain he will accept it.

## Life

'Zrimat lives a very habituated life in the human world' and seemed to dislike residing in the fae realm, although Fenwrel suspects that he will come back for a status increase.

Fenwrel gathers her children, including Zrimat, together and brings them to Gwyn ap Nudd in the throne room of the Unseelie Court. Gwyn promotes them all to Court status and reinstates them as a Noble Court family.

After Augus Each Uisge is attacked and temporarily dies, Zrimat is seen speaking to his mother in the throne room, prior to heading back to the human realm, from which he was unlikely to return for some time, if ever. He is horrified by Ash Glashtyn arriving seemingly drunk and near-death in the throne room.

## Relationships

### Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden

Fenwrel notes that even if she disinherits Zrimat or her other children, they would still be her children.

## Trivia

* The power that flows toward Zrimat upon promotion to Court status is described as being blue and green.
* It's unclear but possible that Fenwrel's children are also mouse shifters, particularly given the rarity of true hybrid fae.

Shvod

## Introduction

At some point, a nhang taught Ash Glashtyn 'the song about the Sounhaqh shvaz and shvod that fell in love' in the Unseelie Court night gardens. Eran Iliakambar is familiar with the song, as well.

## Folklore/Mythology

'The Shahapet (Սհահապետ), also called Khshathrapti, Shavod, Shoithrapaiti, Shvaz and **Shvod**, were usually friendly guardian spirits of Armenian, Slavic and Persian mythology, who typically appeared in the form of serpents. They inhabited houses, orchards, fields, forests and graveyards, among other places. The Shvaz type was more agriculturally oriented, while the Shvod was a guardian of the home. A Shvod who is well-treated may reward the home's inhabitants with gold, but if mistreated might cause strife and leave.'

The Miskatin's Cavern

**The Miskatin's cavern** is the home of the miskatin that captures Eran Iliakambar and Mosk Manytrees during *The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire*.

## Appears in

Major canon:

*The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire*

## Description

The Miskatin's cavern is located in a forest near the Aur forest, with lampposts posted seemingly at random in the Miskatin's territory, for hunting. The cavern itself 'was more like a sty, smelling of rot and refuse, with bone splinters in the corners of the cavern.' The main cavern has many, many bones on the floor, and is some distance from the entrance. It has a 'roaring, giant fireplace'. Near the fireplace is 'a small, rickety table'. It has multiple chambers that are seemingly mostly dark beyond the fireplace's reach. Somewhere in the cavern, the Miskatin keeps a large cauldron, a cleaver, potatoes, jewelry, and clipaks.

Wraith

After Mosk Manytrees kills Davix, what is left of Davix (besides his heartsong) goes to an icy dream realm, which Mosk later dreamwalks to. Neither of them know what Davix is. At their second meeting, Davix theorizes that he might be a, 'ghost. Ahma. Andi. Umbra. Or apparition. **Wraith**. Shade.'

Davix in this state is substantially weakened, and cannot escape the icy realm. He also loses some of his memory prior to arriving, and only regains some of it when he absorbs some of Mosk's magic. When Mosk drains him almost dry, Davix begins truly fading away, and Mosk has to provide him with magic to keep him there.

## Folklore/Mythology

'In folklore, a ghost is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear to the living. . . . The English word *ghost* continues Old English *gāst*, from Proto-Germanic *\*gaistaz*. It is common to West Germanic, but lacking in North Germanic and East Germanic (the equivalent word in Gothic is *ahma*, Old Norse has *andi* m., *önd* f.). . . . Other terms associated with it are apparition, haunt, phantom, poltergeist, shade, specter or spectre, spirit, spook, **wraith**, demons and ghouls.'

Voices in the Rain

***Voices in the Rain*** is a *Fae Tales Verse Canon Extra* set about five years after *The Court of Five Thrones*. This is a softer story between the two angsty leads of the main canon, made for Poigdom Week, Day 6 (Candy and Kisses).

## Summary

Somehow, the tender, sweet nothings shared between Gwyn and Augus never quite look like those shared between other lovers.

## Characters

* Gwyn ap Nudd
* Augus Each Uisge
Stromkarl

## Introduction

The stromkarl are freshwater fae, at least some of which are likely Unseelie. Augus Each Uisge helped broker peace between the stromkarl and nokken while Augus was the Raven Prince's advisor.

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

Augus described the stromkarl as 'peaceable', 'intelligent and capable of lively discourse, who wished for peace without too much sacrifice and challenged Augus’ skills as he sought it with them.'

## Folklore/Mythology

'Fossegrim, also known simply as the grim (Norwegian) or **Strömkarlen** (Swedish), is a water spirit or troll in Scandinavian folklore. Fossegrim plays the fiddle, especially the Hardanger fiddle. Fossegrim has been associated with a mill spirit (*kvernknurr*) and is related to the water spirit (*neck*) and is sometimes also called *näcken* in Sweden. It is associated with rivers (Swedish name "Strömkarlen" means "The River Man") and particularly with waterfalls (*foss* in Norwegian) and mill races.

. . . Fossegrim is described as an exceptionally talented fiddler: the sounds of forest, wind and water play over his fiddle strings. Fossegrims can be induced to teach the skill. The Swedish strömkarl's lay is said to have eleven variations, the final one being reserved for the night spirits because when it is played, "tables and benches, cup and can, gray-beards and grandmothers, blind and lame, even babes in the cradle" will begin to dance.

Fossegrim is said to be willing to teach away his skills in exchange for a food offering made on a Thursday evening and in secrecy: a white he-goat thrown with head turned away into a waterfall that flows northwards, or smoked mutton (*fenalår*) stolen from the neighbour's storage four Thursdays in a row. If there is not enough meat on the bone, he will only teach the supplicant how to tune the fiddle. If the offering is satisfactory, he will take the pupil's right hand and draw the fingers along the strings until they all bleed, after which he will be able to play so well that "the trees shall dance and torrents in their fall stand still".'

Uhina

**Uhina** is a fae crewmember and warrior on the Mantissa, and seemingly serves as one of Ondine's right hands, alongside Awan.

## Appearance

Uhina has 'long, blue-black hair that was plaited down her back, brown skin covered in tattoos.' Mosk Manytrees describes her as 'tall', but this is in comparison to the sea trows, who are quite short, so it's unclear how tall she is.

## Life

Uhina is the warrior fae who greets Mosk the first time he boards the Mantissa. At one point she dances with Awan, Ondine, and Ash Glashtyn on the ship. She also helps Mosk when he collapses from exhaustion.

## Relationships

### Awan

Awan is seen leaning against Uhina at one point, and the pair seem close.

## Quotations

* To Mosk: ‘It’s good,’ she said, petting his shoulder so hard that it stung. ‘It’s good to push yourself. But it’s good to rest too. They say you have no heartsong, which must be impossible, because you climb like you have something in there.’

Tanares

**Tanares** is an Unseelie merkhanwe and member of the House of Atros. He is the nephew of King Turus, and sibling to Stertes, Yescha, and Enaria. As a member of the House of Atros, Tanares holds much power in the sea. Albion's absence while managing the Seelie Court has made King Turus resentful, and the House pushier about their authority.

## Personality

Ondine says that Tanares takes after his uncle, in that he wants power.

## Life

Tanares serves as an envoy of King Turus, and does his 'direct bidding'. As the nephew of the leader of the House of Atros, he is likely royalty, like his brother.

## Trivia

* 'The House of Atros extends back so far as a lineage, before Albion ruled the waters. They nearly put a Queen on the Unseelie throne once, but that legend is so old it’s all in tatters now.'
