Nara-Thoth library

The **Nara-Thoth library** or library of Nara-Thoth is a location in the fae realm. It's unknown who or what Nara-Thoth is.

## Appears in (referenced)

Major canon:

*Game Theory*

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

## Description

Augus Each Uisge said that the 'halls of the Nara-Thoth library' are one of the 'places in the fae realm that centralise[s] and stabilise[s] power.' The Seelie and Unseelie Courts and the Aur forest are other such places. Given how much power it took to destroy the Seelie Court and Aur forest, it's likely the Nara-Thoth library is a powerful place as well.

It appears to be a large place, as Gwyn ap Nudd implied it is able to hold a lot of information.

## Trivia

* Although it's unclear who or what Nara-Thoth is referring to, Nara is a Hindu deity, and Thoth is the ancient Egyptian 'god of the moon, wisdom, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art, and judgment.'
* The Nara-Thoth library is only referred to twice in the *Fae Tales Verse*, and the name is written differently both times. This article has been named after the more recent appearance in *The Ice Plague: Book 1 - The Forest of Fire*.

Barna

"*Are you the one who melted the ice? They talk of a dryad who… There are rumours.*"
―Barna[[The Ice Plague: Book 3 - The Ice Plague, Chapter 28: Family]]

## General details

### Relatives

Lalik (husband); Harai (wife); Mimi (daughter); Tesha (daughter)

## Physical description

### Hair color

White

**Barna** is a rassel who resides in Dharnam with his family.

## Appearance

Barna 'had the long ears of a hare, and a black, shiny nose. But he also had little antlers growing from his forehead, and tufts of white fur growing out from under his long-sleeved coat at the sleeves.' His ears were white-cream, and quiver when he feels certain emotions.

## Personality

He seemed friendly to Eran Iliakambar and Mosk Manytrees. Eran noted that Barna's 'face graced with a smile of wonder that made him look generous of heart and spirit. Eran felt like he wanted to trust this fae.'

## Life

Barna and Lalik have been partnered 'for nearly a century now', but met with Harai sometime later in the woods near Zhitovar, and she's been partnered with them for 34 years, and even married them, though marriage is rare among fae.

Barna was walking around Dharnam with his family seemingly on the way home from a market, 'carrying hessian sacks filled with items' they'd likely purchased there, when they ran into Eran and Mosk, and one of his children seemingly asked about the two. Barna invited the two fae to their home, for dinner. Mosk offered to invite Gwyn ap Nudd, which Barna accepted.

During the meal, when talking about his marriage, Barna explained, 'Meeting Harai was like realising part of the puzzle was missing.’ He later took Mimi and Tesha to bed when the two were falling asleep after dinner, before returning to the main room.

In parting, Julvia Dubna Vajat gave him two small scarves, seemingly meant for Mimi and Tesha, as thanks for the evening. When Gwyn's group left the home, Barna and Harai were shocked and honored at how Mosk had enlivened their family garden.

The type of waterweed that is one of Julvia Dubna Vajat's favored foods.

## Physical Description

There is a variant of elodea called 'red elodea'.

Elodea can be made into tea.

## Trivia

* Augus Each Uisge kept an elodea sculpture in his rooms at the Raven Prince's Unseelie Court 'carved from peridot and jade'.
* According to Pia, the waterweed that grows from Augus' mane is a variant of elodea.
* Elodea is referenced seven times in canon, and only three times is italicized, so it is not italicized for this entry.

Bluebells

**Bluebells** are a kind of human and fae realm plant that Augus Each Uisge appears to favor for growing around his lakes, and kept some in Gwyn ap Nudd's cabin Crielle ferch Fnwy grew some around the An Fnwy estate.

## Abilities

The appear to grow in spring. When they die, they leave 'a patina of their shrivelled, worn petals behind, an azure sweetness banked and bitter to remind [people] of what might come the following spring.'

## Trivia

'*Hyacinthoides* is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asparagaceae, known as **bluebells**. . . . The majority of species are distributed around the Mediterranean Basin, with only one species, *Hyacinthoides non-scripta* (the familiar spring flower of bluebell woods in the British Isles and elsewhere) occurring further north in north-western Europe.'

***'**Hyacinthoides non-scripta* (formerly *Endymion non-scriptus* or *Scilla non-scripta*) is a bulbous perennial plant, found in Atlantic areas from north-western Spain to the British Isles, and also frequently used as a garden plant. It is known in English as the **common bluebell** or simply **bluebell**, a name which is used in Scotland to refer to the harebell, *Campanula rotundifolia*. In spring, *H. non-scripta* produces a nodding, one-sided inflorescence of 5–12 tubular, sweet-scented violet–blue flowers, with strongly recurved tepals, and 3–6 long, linear, basal leaves.
*H. non-scripta* is particularly associated with ancient woodland where it may dominate the understorey to produce carpets of violet–blue flowers in "bluebell woods", but also occurs in more open habitats in western regions. It is protected under UK law, and in some other parts of its range.'

Evehariat

## Introduction

Evehariat is a lamassa and desert fae who came to Dharnam to see the last ambaros, Eran Iliakambar, and to aid Gwyn ap Nudd in battle against Olphix.

## Appearance

The lamassa have wings that are 'impossible, many-layered with over-large feathers that Eran had heard felt like the finest of silks.' They have 'large eyes that looked as though they’d been made of balls of yellow and ochre sand' and 'jet-black skin'.

Evehariat has 'long, black ears.'

## Personality

Evehariat seemed excited about the festival of Evale, in part because he wanted to sing.

## Life

Evehariat came to Dharnam with other lamassa and desert fae to see Eran and pledge to Gwyn. When the group ran into Eran at the markets, Evehariat was excited about being able to sing with other fae, and wanted to get coats quickly so they could sing.

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.'

Game Theory

***Deeper Into the Woods*** is the formal chronological introduction to *The Fae Tales Verse* by not\_poignant, though it was written after *Game Theory* and during *The Court of Five Thrones**.*

## Summary

Once, in the realm of the fae, a Seelie War General - Gwyn ap Nudd - committed a terrible crime, and went to the most unlikely of places for assistance; the home of an Unseelie waterhorse he’d never met before, for a most unconventional form of healing.

## Characters

#### Main

* Gwyn ap Nudd
* Augus Each Uisge

#### Mentioned/Referenced

* Ash Glashtyn
* Crielle ferch Fnwy
* Cyledr
* Efnisien ap Wledig
* Gwythyr ap Griedawl
* Lludd Llaw Eraint
* Nwython
* The Oak King
* The Raven Prince

## Details

This story was written so that readers wouldn't feel like they needed to read the fanfiction which first hosted the original characters Gwyn and Augus, which has become increasingly redundant over time. However, some readers have still preferred the original *Shadows and Light* introduction to *Game Theory,* possibly because *Game Theory* still contains reference to the fictional characters, and has not yet been fully edited to remove them.

## Main Pairing/s

This story is the chronological introduction to Gwyn ap Nudd and Augus Each Uisge, and cements their sexual relationship.

## Quotations

* Augus to Gwyn: 'You have a right to your bloodlust and yes, even your cruelty, but you have the means to control it. And one of those means is to make sure you are looking after yourself better, so that you don’t have these…breakdowns.'
* Augus to Gwyn: ‘You should come helm the Wild Hunt with me sometimes. The Raven Prince is far too busy to helm it every time, and I take charge from time to time. I tell you, the energy there would be *very* good for you, and having a Seelie fae helm with an Unseelie fae, well…it’s unconventional, but it might attract more Seelie hunters back to the event.’

## Trivia

* *Deeper into the Woods* introduces the crime that Gwyn committed that made him wish to lose his heartsong of triumph.
* Gwyn's suicidal ideation - his alternative if Augus failed to break his heartsong - comes up a lot in this story.

Enerdias

*'We must be like nothing, to you,’ Mosk said, feeling stupid. ‘You have all of that.'*

**Enerdias** is a city beneath the Markets in the Sea of Sculptures.

## Appears in

Major canon:

*The Ice Plague: Book 2 - The Seething Seas*

## Description

The city of Enerdias is beneath the Markets in the Sea of Sculptures, filled with a coral reef and caretaking merkhanwe. 'Most of the Atros libraries and the big university are down there, along with the centralised merchant markets.' Stertes cared for the city, as his home and/or because he had authority there as royalty of the House of Atros, and was responsible for its welfare.

At a distance from the Markets is a large metropolis with 'glowing blue-green phosphorescent lights . . . It was so far, the sea fae swimming beneath looked tiny. Every now and then, a few would shoot up towards the Markets, sometimes holding nets or sacks containing fish and other goods. Long ropes tied with glowing baubles of light floated from the city up towards the Markets . . . [S]ome of the buildings were very tall, gleaming white or cream, and the fish swam to them as frequently as they visited the coral reef around the statue.'

Harpy

## Introduction

There is only one named harpy in the canon: Ocypete, one of Gwyn ap Nudd's former Unseelie War Generals. She led the aerial contingent of harpies in the Unseelie military, but the harpies left the military after Gwyn killed Ocypete when she sided with Ifir during Ifir's mutiny against Gwyn.

## Physical Description

Ocypete had large, broad bat wings, manicured eyebrows, and a dark olive face. She wore a makhaira and sometimes had a longbow strapped to her back.

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

Gwyn described Ocypete as 'a vicious, blood-thirsty harpy' who was also 'even-tempered, and quick to see the wisdom in whatever Gwyn was doing.'

The harpies in *The Court of Five Thrones* specialized in aerial combat.

## Folklore/Mythology

'In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, a harpy (plural harpies or Harpuiai, Greek: ἅρπυια, *harpyia*, pronounced [hárpyi̯a]; Latin: *harpȳia*) is a half-human and half-bird personification of storm winds. . . . They were generally depicted as birds with the heads of maidens, faces pale with hunger and long claws on their hands. Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness. Pottery art depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Ovid described them as human-vultures.'

'Ocypete (Greek: Ὠκυπέτη, English translation: "swift wing") was one of the three Harpies in Greek mythology. She was also known as Ocypode ("swift foot") or Ocythoe ("swift runner"). The Harpies were the daughters of the sea god Thaumas and the Oceanid Electra.

According to one story, the Harpies were chased by the Boreads. Though the swiftest of the trio, Ocypete became exhausted, landed on an island in the middle of the ocean and begged for mercy from the gods. In Greek and Roman mythology, the Harpies were creatures employed by the higher gods to carry out punishments for crimes.'

Ethallas

*'A breeze was cool and wintry on his arms, the Ethallas forest was fresh in the beginnings of spring.' - Gwyn ap Nudd*

## Introduction

A forest in the Seelie Courtlands, notable for being next to the An Fnwy estate where Gwyn grew up, and for being the site of Augus Each Uisge and Ash Glashtyn's birthplace (their lake) and Augus' home for much of Augus' life.

## Appears in

Major canon:

*Deeper into the Woods*

*Game Theory*

## Description

Ethallas forest is a large boreal forest that is frequented by game such as deer and boar, and has been used as a hunting ground by Seelie fae. It is also the site of the lake of the latest incarnation of the each uisge, and served as his childhood home and the childhood home of the current incarnation of the glashtyn, until Ash moved into his own lake. A group of Seelie dryads also seem to reside there.

Ethallas winters have been described as hard and difficult, with food being sparse, and snow often covering the ground.

## Residents

* Former:
	+ Augus Each Uisge (until *Game Theory*)
	+ Ash Glashtyn (childhood only)

## Quotations

* Augus: 'Ethallas was not a generous forest in the winter. Not for the amount of food we needed to sustain ourselves. A lake like that is only supposed to sustain one waterhorse, and we were two of us and underfae both.'

Fox (Genius loci)

"*My land is never in danger. Not when there are mountains pushing up out of the ground and not when there are fires and not when there are floods.*"
―Fox[[The Ice Plague: Book 3 - The Ice Plague, Chapter 35: The Prophecy]]
The **fox** genius loci was a spirit of the land seemingly associated with Dharnam, or perhaps the pine forest at the city centre.

## Appearance

The fox appeared to Mosk Manytrees as a fox larger than the house Gwyn ap Nudd's party stayed in while in Dharnam, had black eyes, 'and looked like faceted stone. There were black tufts emerging from the end of its ears, and a huge black tuft at the end of its tail. Its front paws weren’t paws at all, but what looked like hands. Five fingers, the thumbs splayed out, and regular – huge – fingernails where claws might be. . . . The creature’s voice was multi-layered, no single voice alone, but many mixed together.'

## Personality

The fox was somewhat obtuse to Mosk, and mostly talked to him by repeating back some of what Mosk said to the fox, but the creature almost answered some of Mosk's questions and told Mosk something very important.

## Life

The fox noted that their land has never died, and/or possibly that the fox has never been injured and/or the land suffered as a result.  The fox also noted that their land had possibly died and/or been hurt by injury to the fox, and that the fox always survived and returned.

When Mosk dreamwalked to the fox, the fox said Mosk was a genius loci. Mosk asked if the creature would help, but the fox did not agree to help.

## Skills

As a genius loci, the fox is likely incredibly powerful, and Mosk noted that at one point in their conversation, the 'fox-thing placed one of its hands down upon the ground and petted the earth gently, and the land didn’t shake, but it seemed like it should.'

## Quotations

* To Mosk: ‘It’s happened before,’ the creature said. ‘We always survive. Then we wait. Then we return. This is how we help.’

Caer Ibormeith

**Caer Ibormeith** was a swan shifter and the true love and partner of King Oengus Og.

## Life

Caer was a swan shifter, and cursed so that she could only leave her true form on Samhain. At some point, Oengus began having dreams of her that involved deep love and passion. He left the School of the Staff and the Thirteen to search for her, with the aid of his family. He eventually found her, and tried to break her curse, but was unsuccessful.

Oengus turned into a swan instead, and the pair 'lived together in lakes and skies, singing [their] songs, a blissful infinity of the like that will never be seen again'. She was ultimately slaughtered by another fae, and Oengus remained heartbroken ever since.

Oengus lived in his tower with their descendants, knowing he would never love another in the same way.

## Folklore/Mythology

'In Irish mythology, Aengus or Óengus, also called Mac ind Óic, is one of the Tuatha Dé Danann and probably originally a god associated with youth, love, summer and poetic inspiration. The son of The Dagda and Boann, Aengus is also known as Maccan Óc ("the young boy" or "young son"), and corresponds to the Welsh mythical figure Mabon and the Celtic god Maponos. He plays a central role in five myths reported by medieval Irish texts.'

In one folktale, 'Aengus falls in love with a girl he sees in his dreams. His mother, Boann, goddess of the River Boyne, and a cow goddess whose milk formed the Milky Way (Bealach na Bó Finne, or the White Cow's Way in Irish), searches Ireland for a year, then his father, the Dagda, does the same. Finally, King Bodb Derg of Munster finds her after a further year. Aengus visits the lake of the Dragon's Mouth and finds 150 girls chained in pairs, including **Caer Ibormeith**, the girl from his dreams, among them. Every second Samhain, Caer and the other girls transform into swans for a year. Aengus is told he can marry Caer if he can identify her in swan form. Aengus turns himself into a swan and they fly away, singing beautiful music that puts all who listen to sleep for three days and nights.'

## Abilities

Augus noted the lichen-deer he spoke with was able to scent Gwyn's fear out in the hallway.

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

## Trivia

'***Cladonia rangiferina***, also known as **reindeer cup lichen**, **reindeer lichen** (cf. Sw. *renlav*) or **grey reindeer lichen**, is a light-colored fruticose, cup lichen species in the family Cladoniaceae. It grows in both hot and cold climates in well-drained, open environments.

Fallow

## Appearance

If Fallow was the rooster that Gille Dubh rode earlier in the ice plague when meeting with Gwyn ap Nudd, Fallow is glossy red, has 'an ivory comb', and is large.

## Personality

Gille Dubh noted that he wanted Fallow to be friends with Follow.

## Life

At some point, Gille Dubh replaced Fallow with Follow, though Fallow's fate is unknown. It's unclear if Fallow was the rooster Gille Dubh rode up on when he met Gwyn earlier in the ice plague, or if Fallow was gone before that.

Domovoi

The **domovoi** are possibly a faction or species of fae. During *Game Theory*, Gwyn ap Nudd negotiated a land dispute between the domovoi and leshii.

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

They are woodland fae, and the ones Gwyn worked with were resistant to settling the dispute, and only settled after much shouting and alcohol consumption during nine days of negotiation, wherein they signed a land agreement to prevent war.

## Folklore/Mythology

'In the Slavic religious tradition, Domovoy (Russian: Домово́й, literally "Household Lord"; also spelled ***Domovoi***, *Domovoj*, and known as Polish: *Domowik* or Serbian and Ukrainian: Домовик, romanized: *domovyk*) is the household spirit of a given kin. They are deified progenitors, that is to say the fountainhead ancestors of the kin. According to the Russian folklorist E. G. Kagarov, the Domovoy is a personification of the supreme Rod in the microcosm of kinship. Sometimes he has a female counterpart, Domania, the goddess of the household, though he is most often a single god. The Domovoy expresses himself as a number of other spirits of the household in its different functions.

. . . The Domovoy is usually represented as an old, gray-haired man with flashing eyes. He may manifest in the form of animals, such as cats, dogs or bears, but also as the master of the house or a departed ancestor of the given family, sometimes provided with a tail and little horns. In some traditions the Domovoy are symbolised as snakes. Household gods were represented by the Slavs as statuettes, made of clay or stone, which were placed in niches near the house's door, and later on the mantelpieces above the ovens. They were attired in the distinct costume of the tribe to which the kin belonged.'

Pegasus (fae beast)

## Introduction

The beast version of pegasi are winged horses, as opposed to the classless fae, Pegasus.

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

The Seelie Court used pegasi against the Unseelie Court during Albion's war with the Unseelie Court.

## Trivia

* Pegasi are possibly horse fae, though it's unclear where the beast fae versus non-beast fae distinction lies.

## Folklore/Mythology

'Pegasus (Greek: Πήγασος, *Pḗgasos*; Latin: *Pegasus, Pegasos*) is a mythical winged divine horse . . . Usually depicted as pure white, Pegasus is the offspring of the Olympian god Poseidon. He was foaled by the Gorgon Medusa upon her death, when the hero Perseus decapitated her. Pegasus is the brother of Chrysaor and the uncle of Geryon.

Pegasus was caught by the Greek hero Bellerophon, near the fountain Peirene, with the help of Athena and Poseidon. Pegasus allowed Bellerophon to ride him in order to defeat the monstrous Chimera, which led to many other exploits. Bellerophon later fell from the winged horse's back while trying to reach Mount Olympus. Afterwards, Zeus transformed Pegasus into the eponymous constellation.'

Ambari

**Ambari** was a Seelie ambaros, sister to Adali, wife of Iliak and sister-in-law to Ifir, and the aunt of Vhadi, Eran Iliakambar, Ada, and Adalia. She was also a former courtier to Albion during his time as King of the Seelie. She was killed by the ice plague.

## Appearance

Ambaros can pass as human, so it's likely Adali looks like a normal human.

## Life

Ambari serves as a courtier at the Seelie Court, and advises Albion during his war with the Unseelie Court. She gives Iliak grave news of what Albion is up to, to the point that Iliak checks with Gwyn ap Nudd, then King of the Unseelie Court, to see what Gwyn's stance on offering asylum to Seelie fae is.

Ambari is killed by the ice plague along with the rest of her family, save for Eran.

## Relationships

### King Oengus Og

Oengus and Ambari meet many times, which is how Oengus knows a bit about Eran.

## Trivia

* Ambari and Adali are both Seelie ambaros who marry Unseelie afrit. They are also a pair of sisters who marry a pair of brothers.

Golden mistletoe

## Introduction

A special 'kind of mistletoe that could only be discovered by those with a rare heart.'

## Physical Description

Golden mistletoe once grew deep 'in the Aur forest'.

Golden mistletoe has 'metallic, gleaming leaves', 'graceful soft branches', and 'berries that were rare and tasted sweet and mild.' It only offers 'three or six or nine berries per fruiting'.

## Abilities

'It grew spontaneously, it couldn’t be grown from seed, a plant shrouded in mystery.'

Mosk Manytrees noted that it only lives for within an hour after fruiting, which is one reason it's hard to find.

Mosk noted that it 'was powerful, rare, hidden' but not 'the rarest or most powerful'.

The Raven Prince called it, 'A parasite that hides itself from the world . . . that gleams golden when you finally see it for what it is'.

## Trivia

* Mosk was particularly unique in that, unlike the other Aur dryads, he easily found golden mistletoe.
* *'Notothixos subaureus* is a species of mistletoe plant in the family Santalaceae; it can be found in eastern Australia.'

Mouse shifter

## Introduction

Mouse shifters or mouse folk are shifters who shift into mice.

## Physical Description

Mouse shifters can resemble human realm mice, such as Terho the Mouse-Lad, who was marked to look like a striped field mouse.

Mouse shifters often possess mouse toes (and go around barefoot), a long mouse tail, and mouse ears, even in human form. They are typically graceful in their movements.

## Abilities

It seems uncommon for mouse shifters to possess great magical ability, as Fluri the Mouse-Maiden was the first of her species to become a Master Mage.

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

Mouse shifters are referred to as mouse-lads or mouse-maidens.

## Trivia

* It's unclear but possible that Fenwrel the Mouse-Maiden's children (Yukti, Suvidh, Uday, Vilasini, Zrimat, and Fenwrel's unnamed child) are also mouse shifters, particularly given the rarity of true hybrid fae. Other potential mouse shifters include Terho's parents and Fluri's other child(ren).

## Folklore/Mythology

Magical mice appear often in fairy tales, folklore, and mythology. In Celtic mythology, 'Llwyd ap Cil Coed transformed his wife and attendants into mice to attack a crop in revenge; when his wife is captured, he turned himself into three clergymen in succession to try to pay a ransom.' In the fairy tale *Puss in Boots*, 'Puss in Boots . . . tricks the ogre into becoming a mouse to be eaten.'

One well-known fairy tale is *The Mouse Turned into a Maid*. The oldest known version is in *The Panchatantra*, a collection of ancient Indian animal fables (circa 200 BCE - 300 CE), and the tale therein is called *The Transformed Mouse Seeks a Bridegroom*, where a wise man at a hermitage discovered a mouse while bathing, and, using his holy powers, changed her into a human, then brought her to his infertile wife to raise as their daughter. When she was of marrying age, the couple sought a husband for her, but she was not satisfied until the mountain - the last of the potential suitors - admitted 'The mice are more powerful than I, for they make holes in my body with violence', and so the wise man presented a mouse to his daughter, which greatly pleased her. So he transformed her back into a mouse, and the mice were wed. The story has variants in Japan, Korea, North Africa, France, and Romania.

Many Meadows

**Many Meadows** is an area in the fae realm. When Eran Iliakambar and Mosk Manytrees escape the Miskatin, they wander until they find Many Meadows, and Eran visits the market there for food.

## Appears in

Main canon:

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

## Description

Many Meadows is near Gille Dubh's loch, and King Oengus Og's tower, on Seelie land, and houses a large Seelie fae market. There are also Unseelie in the area, taking shelter from the ice plague. Most fae there are underfae or Icturiel, though there are also some Court. The market itself is surrounded by a fence.

When Eran first visits, there were a 'lot of foodstuffs . . . reasonably priced and competitive', including smoked fish, dyed 'yarns and fibres, sheep’s wool smelling of lanolin . . . There were hagstones from rivers, little sculpted acorns, fantastically detailed into owls and cats and little trees.' There was also fruit, soap, and sap.

## Personality

Eran noted that Frieze might like it if Mosk Manytrees grew blue roses for Dharnam, as part of Evale, a local festival that celebrates roses and Baba Yaga.

## Life

Frieze sells minerals at the markets in Dharnam, possibly with Fossick. They helped Eran 'locate the best places to find cheap, fresh sap.'

Nokken

## Introduction

The nokken 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 nokken 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

'The Nixie, Nixy, Nix, Näcken, Nicor, Nokk, or **Nokken** (German: *Nixe*; Dutch: *nikker*, *nekker*; Danish: *nøkke*; Norwegian Bokmål: *nøkk*; Nynorsk: *nykk*; Swedish: *näck*; Faroese: *nykur*; Finnish: *näkki*; Estonian: *näkk*; Old English: *nicor*) are humanoid, and often shapeshifting water spirits in Germanic mythology and of folklore.

Under a variety of names, they were common to the stories of all Germanic peoples, although they are perhaps best known from Scandinavian folklore. . . . Their sex, bynames, and various transformations vary geographically. The German *Nix* and his Scandinavian counterparts were male. The German *Nixe* was a female river mermaid. Similar creatures are known from other parts of Europe, such as the Melusine in France, and the Slavic water spirits (e.g. the Rusalka) in Slavic countries.'

The Faroese nyker refers to a supernatural horse that dwells deep underwater. Sometimes he appears as a beautiful horse, who lures people in to pet him. However, when they touch him, they become stuck, and he drags them down to the bottom of the water. At other times, he appears as a human youth to lure young women. If they call him by his true name - nykur - he loses his power over them and must release them.

The Scandinavian '*näcken*, *näkki*, *nøkk* were male water spirits who played enchanted songs on the violin, luring women and children to drown in lakes or streams. However, not all of these spirits were necessarily malevolent; many stories indicate at the very least that *nøkker* were entirely harmless to their audience and attracted not only women and children, but men as well with their sweet songs. Stories also exist wherein the Fossegrim agreed to live with a human who had fallen in love with him, but many of these stories ended with the *nøkk* returning to his home, usually a nearby waterfall or brook. . . . The *nøkker* were said to grow despondent unless they had free, regular contact with a water source. The Norwegian Fossegrim or *Grim*, Swedish ***strömkarl***, is a related figure who, if properly approached, will teach a musician to play so adeptly "that the trees dance and waterfalls stop at his music".'

Pixie

**Pixies** are a species of fae.

## Characteristics (culture, habits)

Some time ago, Gwyn ap Nudd was reading a book that Lludd Llaw Eraint acquired on his travels that was about capturing prisoners of war. In the book was a story about 'a pixie who had been captured and trapped beneath the ground, in a tunnel, in a well. He was left, forgotten. A victim of the elemental battle of Aravalle. No more than a handful of lines.' Gwyn was curious and went looking for him, and finally discovered 'him after a couple of months of searching. He was in a...damaged state, but to my knowledge he is rehabilitating well, and integrated back with his people.' He didn't tell anyone about it until he later shared the story with Augus Each Uisge.

It's possible they have a monarchy, as a pyxen prince once gave Augus a traveling cloak as a gift.

## Folklore/Mythology

'A pixie (also pixy, pixi, pizkie, piskie and pigsie as it is sometimes known in Cornwall) is a mythical creature of British folklore. Pixies are considered to be particularly concentrated in the high moorland areas around Devon and Cornwall, suggesting some Celtic origin for the belief and name.

Akin to the Irish and Scottish Aos Sí, pixies are believed to inhabit ancient underground ancestor sites such as stone circles, barrows, dolmens, ringforts or menhirs. In traditional regional lore, pixies are generally benign, mischievous, short of stature and childlike; they are fond of dancing and gather outdoors in huge numbers to dance or sometimes wrestle, through the night, demonstrating parallels with the Cornish plen-an-gwary and Breton Fest Noz (Cornish: troyl) folk celebrations originating in the medieval period.'

―Airy Joe[[The Ice Plague: Book 2 - The Seething Seas, Chapter 10: Veils]]

**Airy Joe** is a hooper aboard the Mantissa.

## Appearance

Airy Joe was 'scruffy with facial hair and looked up at the sky every few seconds, almost like a nervous tic.' He had 'salt and pepper facial hair' and 'murky blue eyes'. The 'back of his forearm thick with grey hairs. He was one of the oldest looking fae Eran had ever seen'.
