Message: <blockquote data-quote="Baron Opal II" data-source="post: 9786376" data-attributes="member: 6794067">I've been thinking on how to put a more interesting framework for Faerie and their kin. At the moment I only have two solid things; they must follow agreements literally and have little conception of time. Agreements are always followed as spoken, literally, but usually non-maliciously unlike with infernals. They won't necessarily twist wording to the other party's disadvantage. However, they certainly can if they are upset with you. Because their nature compels them to fulfill their part of a bargain, they have difficulty not understanding when mortals break their word, unintentionally or not.Faerie time-blindness can play into this as well. When the Lady of Summer Revels does not get her promised offering at the special well on Midsummer's noon, she rightly appears at the side of the mortal who agreed to do so. To her great surprise he's been dead for a few years, and the kids forgot to do the otherwise meaningless ritual dad performed. While the fae are aware of human mortality, their concept of the passage of time, both personally and between realms, is sporadic at best.I can see a difference between the Seelie and Unseelie courts is one of respect. The Seelie initially have some baseline respect for mortals and the Unseelie don't. However, by mortal actions and Faerie's inscrutable rules this respect can be lost or gained without necessarily knowing the trigger.What do you all think?</blockquote>
