| Faerie creatures are those that dwell within the [[lore:Shadow Realms]], in an area of it commonly called the [[lore:Fae Lands]]. Like the [[lore:Divine Realms]] or [[lore:Infernal Realms]], the Shadow Realms are divided and splintered. The Fae Lands are those areas closest to the [[lore:Mortal Plane]]. | Faerie creatures are those that dwell within the [[lore:Shadow Realms]], in an area of it commonly called the [[lore:Fae Lands]].

| - | **NOTE:** A name is not just a name for the fae. With a font of power comes the freedom to separate their name from their True Name.

In order for their true name to work it must be used absolutely perfectly. | + | <WRAP center round info 80%> |
| + | A **name is not just a name** for the fae. With a font of power comes the freedom to separate their name from their **True Name**. Knowing the True Name of a fae gives the user tremendous control over them as long as they do not try and force them to act against their nature. In order for their true name to work it must be known and used absolutely perfectly, preferably gained from the fae themselves or from another fae that knows it. Translating from one mortal to the next is fraught with error. | ||

| Traditionally the fae are drawn to a place by the belief of those in the mortal lands. Thus, the fae that live within the loci are those most closely linked to the spiritual belief of the mortals. | Traditionally the fae are drawn to a place by the belief of those in the mortal lands.

| A tree whose leaves are believed to heal the sick can in time draw fae to it who are drawn to helping the sick. As these fae dwell within the Mortal Lands a Genius Loci will form whose leaves can magically cure the sick. This strengthens the mortal's beliefs, often drawing people from far away to this magical place. If this continues in time a sentience will form from the fae. | A tree whose leaves are believed to heal the sick can in time draw fae to it who are drawn to helping the sick.

| While it has a body, it is still limited to the area around where it was formed. It can still only act as was the nature of the fae who formed it, but on a scale that was impossible before sentience occurred. It does not have "free will," but it does have a great deal of choice. | While it has a body, it is still limited to the area around where it was formed.

| Over many generation mortals have visited the Tree of Life as it has become known. One day that belief becomes so strong that a sentience is formed. The sentience forms a body from the tree and shapes itself as the first healer whose use of its leaves to cure a sick child drew the fae. The body is imperfect as it is made of wood, but now the spirit can express its will. | Over many generation mortals have visited the Tree of Life as it has become known.
