Storyteller 5:05am, March 22, 2011 [Edit] [Delete] | Elena, Duchess of the Southern Coast (Sidhe Wilder) - Chrys
Once heavily into politics, Elena has retreated into her freehold of Wild Sea in the wake of an assassination plot against her. Threatened with the prospect of killers wielding cold iron, the Duchess temporarily allowed her Unseelie side to take over. While she eworks to make her court impregnable and fills it with diabolical traps to snare the unwary, she has temporarily handed over governance of her duchy to Count Morrig. Once she feels secure again, Elena may emerge from her self-imposed isolation. Whether she will have entered Bedlam by then is anyone's guess. Until then, for all practical purposes, Elena is out of the political scene (which is what the Shadow Court wanted anyway) and Morrig is de facto duke in her absence.
Count Morrig of House Gwydion (Sidhe Wilder)
Morrig has tried to rule fairly over the Kithain of Savannah and environs. He granted Lady Una Morrowind a freehold within Savannah both because she had served the Seelie Court by uncovering a plot against Elena, duchess of the Southern Coast and because he saw in the lovely lady echoes of hi sown mother's sadness. Any fae who wishes is welcome to visit the count's court (known as Wisteria Hall) in the folly behind his ancestral home in the Historic District... so long as they agree to behave with decorum and cause no disturbance. Famed for his hospitality and exquisite manners, Morrig rides to the hunt at least four times a year and hosts a midnight ball each year in the grand ballroom of the mansion. Most of his time is spent helping preserve Savannah, however. He is popular in both fae and mortal circles... except at Willow's Heart. Though forced to swear allegiance to Meilge, the count often works alongside the lord and lady of Vellumton to unmask the evil they all know is the true Meilge.

Crwen (Satyr Wilder)
You are absolutely devoted to Count Morrig, just as you were to his mother. It is your responsibility to see that he rules justly and wisely, that he doesn't get too full of himself and that no one hurts him. You know he relies on your counsel and always try to think things through. That's not always easy, but you do the best you can and consult your book when you're at a loss. You aren't totally consumed by duty, however. No Satyr can exist without a few parties and assignations to look forward to; you're just more discreet about yours.

Florist Primaeval:
-Lady Una Morrowind ap Liam - Peanut
Twice bereft of love, you gird yourself with solitude. Benevolence, compassion, noblesse oblige: these are your duties, and you attend them earnestly. Though you know atonement is denied you, you cannot but hope to redress the overbalance of harm caused by your desire for love. By aiding others, leading them to discover the numinous within themselves, you hope to find some measure of forgiveness. Treat all with compassion and understanding; the only love you allow yourself is maternal. Repay every injustice with kindness, and reward kindness generously.
-Squire Douglas Biggins ap Liam, Troll Wilder (Sheet already written)
Others perceive you as a kind, gentle man, but you know yourself to be otherwise. The dark half of your being revels in pain, power and fear; you constantly guard against its release. You move and speak slowly, taking the time to consider the results of anything you say or do. You honor Lady Una, and her slightest wish, save one, you obey without hesitation; she has earned both your trust and your respect over the years. You distrust Garrett, more for the pain he may cause your Lady than for any fault of his own. Twyla is the younger sister you never had, and in all things you treat her tenderly. Even her pranks at your expense earn nothing harsher than a soft chuckle. With all your heart, you wish you truly were as others saw you. Perhaps in time it will be so.
-Twyla ap Liam, Cat Pooka Wilder (Sheet already written)
Life is fun. Sure, you're waiting for your one true love to come and seep you off your feet, but you have to fill your time until then. You manage to see the humor in almost any situation, and strive to make it plain to others as well. You're an incredible sucker for romance, and flirting is one of your favorite pastimes. You think Lady Una is just the coolest, all tragic and noble. Bigs (Douglas) is the big brother of your dreams; nothing you do seems to make him mad. Garish (Garrett) is cute, but way too stuck up for his own good. And Dion... wow. You're trying to think of just the right prank for this charmer. Barring that, you'll find some way to trip over him.
-Squire Garett Brody ap Eiluned, Sidhe Wilder (Sheet already written)
Others may perceive you as aloof, but you are merely contemplative. You never speak, or act, without purpose, be it idle pleasure, the Great Game, or the pursuit of your beloved. And you do sincerely love the Lady Una. Both a beauty and a mystery, she has engaged your heart and your mind. Though externally stalwart, you tremble inwardly when in her presence, awaiting even the slightest sign of her acceptance. You have even begun to work in the garden, and you find it less distasteful than you imagined. You respect Douglas for his knowledge and patience, but often find Twyla abrasive. You suspect she is planning some prank at your expense, though you aren't terribly worried. Though you barely know Dion, you find yourself questioning his motives. Of course this isn't competition; you merely wish to protect your Lady's honor and home.
-Dion, Eshu Wilder - DW
All you really want is adventure, and the life you know you deserve. You see yourself as a fae Robin Hood; if the Seelie nobles didn't hoard everything for themselves, you wouldn't have to take it from them. Rules are for other people; passion is all that truly matters. Perhaps you'll deign to save a few Seelie women from the bondage of such an unpleasant way of life. Like that Twyla: a woman who knows what it means to have a good time. Of course, you could never stay with just one woman. That would be unkind to the others.
-Nathan Earl, embittered Mortal - Fel
