Get to know the Fae of Thorne

Hidden in the cracks of our world like a sliver of glass embedded in flesh, exists Thorne. In it's ancient, fractured ways it's fiercely alive as it was long before the times of Men and Women. It is not a place either of danger or of safety. It is a place coexisting in the places where you are. It's a place of meaning and where translation is perilous.

For those of and in Thorne, shadows blossom and light tells you lies. It's where any whispered pact or disgarded trinket can carry the balance of your fate- even of Fate in general- in passing.

Poeple wander into Thorne by accident, insanity or sometimes even by explicit invitation—but they never return unchanged. Time chews you up slowly in Thorne but it's teeth are sharper too.

The fae of Thorne don't resemble your storybook pixies very often. These fairies don’t sparkle. They watch. The amuse themselves - maybe at your expense if they are having that kind of day. They barter but only with those who know the ways of the fae and ask for their favors correctly. But then if you really know the ways of Thorne? You probably would be wise enough not to try to barter with the fae at all.

A little knowledge- incomplete knowledge especially- is a dangerous thing in Thorne. Everyone knows that. If your world is roses remember what waits beneath every bloom. A Thorne.

A LETTER FROM THE SCRIBE

Dear Thorne Newbs,

Welcome! I will be posting an index of those fae of Thorne as I am able and as they become known to me.

I'll give you the survival guide to interacting with Thorne and will soon post talismans and other throne artifacts as they are available. These are objects charmed or cursed to call to or ward off specific residents of thorne. Sometimes they are charmed objects imbued with a small taste of fae magic-- just enough to repell brain funk, attract the right kind of attention of to help you remember the things you value most.

I have been nominated for the task of making introductions between the Thorneverse and the human world and I take it aeriously.

So we'll be in touch I'm sure.
