POWERS THAT BE

Fae- One of the many terms for the Faery folk that make up a large chunk of the Hidden. They are also known as Wee Folk, Fairy Folk, Verry Volk, The Fair Family, Sleigh Beggey, Yosei (japanese), Payihsa (Native American), Jogah (Iroquois), Vættir (Norse), Lutin (French), Sânziană (Romanian)

 

Foundling: Someone with a lineage based power (Usually one of the Hidden) that was raised by human/ non-empowered (usually also not aware) parents. This is a Fae term, as it is a regular habit of their culture, but has been co-opted by the empowered community in general.

 

Seelie Court: One of the two main sects of Fae Hidden. They are sometimes called Light Fae. They are generally neutral or even helpful for non-empowered humans. Though there is nothing in their rules about mischief or targeting humans that are generally harmful to other humans. Hidden that are not Fae and even Empowered that are not Hidden will sometimes ally themselves with the Court to show their view on the human world. Some Non- Fae even join the Court entirely, but in doing so are bound by the same laws of any other member of the Court.

 

Unseelie Court: One of the two main sects of Fae Hidden. They are sometimes called Dark Fae. They are generally harmful or at the very least neutral towards non-empowered humans. Though they still follow the rule of the Mists and can be helpful to humans they view as kindred spirits. Hidden that are not Fae and even Empowered that are not Hidden will sometimes ally themselves with the Court to show their view on the human world. Some Non- Fae even join the Court entirely, but in doing so are bound by the same laws of any other member of the Court.
