=====The Sidhe===== The Sidhe (pronounced shee) are the ruling nobility of the Summer and Winter Courts. The vast majority behave and look like a disturbing combination of Tolkein's elves and WH40K Eldar; otherworldly and beautiful, but also having questionable intentions and sanity. For the most part, they have white hair, cat eyes, and almost perfect physical beauty, but when they're particularly weakened, they become gaunt and alien in appearance. They have an innate ability to use magic. However, Sidhe can diverge greatly from this description, as any sufficiently powerful faerie in the Summer or Winter Court can be elevated to the position of Sidhe and become one of the nobility. For example, if a troll somehow manages to gain enough magic power, it might be welcomed into the ranks of the gentry, it might even decide to shape-shift into the basic quasi-elf form of the regular Sidhe. Alternatively, a Changeling could have one of the Sidhe as his or her inhuman parent, and upon Choosing might be automatically elevated to noble status. The Queens all technically belong to this subgroup of Fae. For the Sidhe, magic is as easy as breathing, its an intrinsic part of their being, although they interpret it differently from wizards and thus their magic has its own strengths and weaknesses. *A Note on Glamour: Glamour is the legendary power of illusion that all Fae can utilize to some extent. Using Glamour, a faerie can create the appearance of something and simulate the emotional and sensory stimulations of that appearance. For example, if a Fae were to use Glamour to create the illusion of a sword, anyone hit with the sword would "feel" and "see" the sword biting into their flesh, even though there would be no actual physical effect. Or a powerful Fae could create Glamoured "walls" around his/her home that look and feel like actual walls, trying to climb them will result in either injury or unnecessary hard work depending on how much effort was put into the illusion's effect on others. One cannot directly kill with Glamour, but the the pain induced by it can potentially lead to shock if the Glamour is powerful enough (keep in mind that this level of skill with Glamour is '''not''' the norm in Faerie). Glamour is part of reason why its a really bad idea for to accept food or drink from the Fae; it could'' look'' like a five course meal, but it could really be day old goat's intestines for all you know, or worse, you could be eating nothing real at all and slowly waste away without noticing it over time. Fortunately, Glamoured food tends to be ... over the top, there's usually something ''off'' about the way it looks or smells that sets it apart from real food. Surprisingly, the Fae actually prefer to eat mortal food due to their obsession with mortals, Glamoured food is usually used to tempt mortals into a debt or spice up bland meals. One can see through Glamour using True-Seeing ointment, even if the Glamour is purely auditory or olfactory(the ointment is just a topically absorbed potion applied to the eyelids). Sometimes, a strong enough mind will enable one to see through Glamours.
