|
||
Long ago, Britain used to be way smaller. Back then, this area was all ocean.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
At the time, Britain was the only landmass in the world[line 2]at least, the faeries thought so. So they worked to expand the isle.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Then, one day, when they'd expanded it up to where Manchester is now, they noticed there was a forest on the far shore.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
That was this place: the British Lostbelt's Lake District. A forest in the middle of the ocean.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
That's where the northern faeries come from. They'd been living off the fruits of that forest all that time.

@Habetrot
|
||
Yup. The six clans and the northern faeries[sr]have totally separate lineages.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Anyway, back in Fae Era 6000[line 2]Um, I guess that'd be eight-thousand years ago...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Britain had its very first war. In it, the northern and southern faeries fought each other.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Nowadays, it's only known as the War of Spring.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
It happened when the northern faeries got jealous of all the land the southern faeries had, and crossed the sea to invade it.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
But even though their leader was super strong, on average, the northern faeries were still weaker than the southern ones.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Back then, there were no humans on the northern faeries' side. Only the southern faeries kept humans.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
So the war ended with the southern faeries' victory. Apparently, it was a total massacre.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Whenever the northern faeries' successors were born, the southern faeries would just kill them on the spot.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
That's where they got all the bodies they needed to fill in the ocean up to the Lake District.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
They killed so many northern faeries that eventually, new generations stopped being born altogether.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
?1:What happened to the northern faeries after that?
|
||
|
||
?!
|
||
|
||
[charaFace E 8]
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Everyone thought they'd gone extinct... But nope![sr]It turned out they were still alive.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
The leader of the northern faeries was made of much sterner stuff than any faerie from the six clans.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace E 0]
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Well, they weren't called the six clans back then,[sr]but you know what I mean.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace E 10]
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Anyway, the northern queen escaped, left the Lake District, and went on to make the western island all by herself out in the middle of the empty sea.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
The western island, Ireland, became a legendary island that no one could see, but existed all the same...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
It became the final hope for faeries who were exiled from Britain. A sort of last bastion of castaways.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Later on, there'd be another war between the north and the south called the War of Summer...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
But that has nothing to do with the Lake District,[sr]so I'll just skip that one.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace E 0]
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Anyway, after the first war, the War of Spring...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
...the southern faeries claimed the Lake District for themselves and began developing their civilization even further.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
The faeries that would go on to become the Mirror clan, and the faeries from Britain's northmost area that would go on to become the Rain clan, each built thriving cities here.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Though of course, as you can see, they've long since been wiped out.

|

|

|

@Habetrot

Mab made that island to keep her faeries safe. She took it all back into herself just before she invaded the British Isle!
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
That was the War of Summer, back in Fae Era 2000. Aesc the Savior and the first Tam Lin fought in it, too!

@Habetrot

Man, you guys wouldn't believe how strong Queen Mab was!
|
||
[k]
|
||
|

@Habetrot
|
||
After their failure in the War of Spring, the northern faeries coexisted with humans in Ireland for four thousand years.
|

[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace E 0]
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
The southern faeries only saw humans as tools for producing entertainment...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
The northern faeries, though? They saw humans as partners, and together, they built a real civilization.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
So even though the southern faeries had the numbers advantage, the northern faeries were still overwhelmingly stronger.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
At first, Queen Mab wanted to wipe out the southern faeries as payback for what they did to the northern ones...
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
But eventually, Aesc managed to broker a peace between the two sides.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
As part of the deal, the northern faeries were ceded the north part of Britain as their territory, and welcomed into the fold as the King Clan.
|

[k]
|
||
|
||
[charaFace E 7]
|

@Habetrot

||
That's when the six clans we have now first came about. The rest, you guys already know.
|
||
[k]
|
||
|
||
@Habetrot
|
||
Anyway, with that kind of bad blood between them, it's no wonder the faeries of the north and south still don't get along even in the Era of the High Queen right?
|

|
||
|

?1:Uh, right. I totally remember my faerie history...

?2:Honestly, I'm having a little trouble keeping all this straight...
|
||
|

?!
|
||

Basically, all you have to remember is that there was a big battle between the clans in the last years of the Fae Era, right before the Era of the High Queen began.
