So, if notifications are not your thing, please feel free to unwatch if you're watching (it's not like I know). Of course, if you want to help, please feel free. I may also edit info as I go, so unless someone does use something I wrote, it's liable to change. Also these sections are likely to be long. There's no tl;dr other than "I'm trying to make a setting created by fairies and dragons and use more folklory things instead of something that sounds more "classic".[SPOILER="In the Beginning"]At the start there was Nathair Sgiathach the Fairy Dragon and there was everything else, but everything else didn't talk, so Nathair Sgiathach was sad and lonely as can be. Eventually ze decided that if ze couldn't have anyone to talk to, ze would at least have some treasure to find comfort in.So ze headed West of West until ze reached a gem darker than night, but whose inside looked like it was swirling with wind and clouds. Nathair said to the gem. "Ah, if only you could talk, then I could be happy.And the gem said. "I can talk, so be happy. I am the Gem of Air and Darkness. What do you want of me?"Nathair was overjoyed! "Ah, I've been sad and lonely as can be! I've wanted company for ever so long a time!""I can be as your daughter, but you must say if I will be fey or dragon at first. While I can change later, I don't want to be such a mix as you!"Nathair was too pleased to take the insult and said, "Oh! A fairy!"And the darkness swirled and the wind blew and the gem it grew and changed until there before Nathair was a fairy with ebony skin, silver wings shaped like a luna moth's, and hair of night and stars. Her eyes were purple and she was clad in a gown of darkness. On her head there was a silver crown with twelve stars for gems. "As you have said, so I am: Mab, Queen of Air and Darkness!""I'm so lucky to have a beautiful daughter like you!" said Nathair."Yes you are, but I have a sister, and if you'd have another daughter I can lead you to her."Nathair wanted nothing more and let Mab lead zem East of East until they reached a gem brighter than day, but whose inside looked like it was shifting earth and ore. "Sister, we have come for you!" said Mab."Ah! What do you want of me?""I want you to be my younger daughter," said Nathair."I can be as your daughter, but you must say if I will be fey or dragon at first. While I can change later, I don't want to be such a mix as you!"And, again, Nathair was too pleased to take the insult and said, "A fairy like your sister!"And the light swirled and the earth shook and the gem it grew and changed until there before Nathair was a fairy with ivory skin, rainbow wings shaped like a butterfly's, and hair of day and sun. Her eyes were blue and she was clad in a gown of gossamer. On her head there was a gold crown with twelve rainbow lights for gems. "As you have said, so I am: Tanaquill, Queen of Earth and Light!""I'm so lucky to have a beautiful daughter like you!" said Nathair."Yes you are, but I know of another gem who can be a son to you. I can lead you to him if you want."Nathair did want and Tanaquill led them North of North until they reached a gem of wintery light, but whose inside looked like it was shifting red and green. "We have come for you, Holly Gem!" said Tanaquill."Ah! What do you want of me?""I want you to be my son," said Nathair."I can be as your son, but you must say if I will be dragon or fey at first. While I can change later, I don't want to be such a mix as you!"And, again, Nathair was too pleased to take the insult and said, "A dragon!"And the wintery light swirled and the red and green joined it and the gem it grew and changed until there before Nathair was a dragon with fur white and sparkling as snow, with crystal wings like a bat. His eyes were half red and half green and he had a mane around his face. On his head were branched horns like a deer, covered in holly and ivy, with red berries looking like gems. On the base of the antlers grew icicles like diamonds and at their tips were twelve flames like candles. "As you have said, so I am: Cullen, the Holly King!""I'm so lucky to have a handsome son like you!" said Nathair."Yes you are, but I have a brother, and if you'd have another son I can lead you to him."Nathair did want and Cullen led them South of South until they reached a gem of summery light, but whose inside looked like it was shifting gold and blue. "We have come for you, Oak Gem!" said Ilex."Ah! What do you want of me?""I want you to be my younger son," said Nathair."I can be as your son, but you must say if I will be dragon or fey at first. While I can change later, I don't want to be such a mix as you!"And, again, Nathair was too pleased to take the insult and said, "A dragon like your brother!"And the summery light swirled and the gold and blue joined it and the gem it grew and changed until there before Nathair was a dragon with gold scales and sparkling as sand in the sun, with golden feathered wings like a bird. His eyes were like the shore and the sea and he had a mane around his face. On his head were branched horns like a deer, covered in oak leaves, with acorns looking like gems. On the base of the antlers grew mistletoe and at their tips were twelve flames like rainbows. "As you have said, so I am: Daire, the Oak King!"And that is how Nathair gained four children and some company. Nathair was happy for a time, and was even more pleased when grandchildren arrived. First there was Damona, Princess of Water and Twilight. She was a fairy with dusky skin, wings like a firefly, hair of eventide, and eyes that were like the sunset.Then there was Fagus the Beech Prince. He was a dragon with scales like autumn leaves and eyes that changed between autumn colors. His horns were like beech branches in autumn and could bear whatever he wished them to.Then there was Áine, the Princess of Fire and Dawn. She was a fairy with sparkling skin, wings like a dragonfly, hair of the dawn, and eyes that looked like the rainbow.Finally there Betulus, was the Birch Prince. He was a dragon with pastel scales and eyes that were also pastel colors--often patterned in strange ways. His horns were like birch branches in spring, blooming with and flowers he wished them to.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
