Editing Fae (section)

== Origins ==
The origins of Faerie are disputed. Some say they began as human [[Practitioners]] who cast off their ugly sides (which became the [[Goblins]])<ref name=":10" /> and/or simply buried themselves so deeply in lies [[Glamour]] there was nothing but the facade left, which took on a life of it's own. Others say they are the ultimate form of the [[Glamour Drowned]] victims of the fae, transformed by the winter court until every trace of their humanity lost and nothing but glamour in their general shape remaining.<ref name=":9" /> Another theory is that they are lies that become stories that become people and anon.<ref name=":9" /> Different stories may be true for different Fae, of course. 

Faerie never seem to remember their own origins,<ref name=":9" /> presumably excepting those born to faerie parents.<ref>If [snowdrop] could talk to the ‘staff’ face to face, then maybe there was a chance.  Faerie were smart, and fairy things were like Faerie.  Toadswallow had explained it all, a few weeks ago.  Fairy-with-a-y were things that had some glamour but they were old and followed more precise rules, or it encompassed things that were a bit glamour-y but also a bit goblin-y, or a bit abyss-y.  Every Faerie was a bit different but fairy things tended to be uniform and when they had kids, if they could have kids, the kids were like the parents. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/12 Excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.x]]</ref><ref>“You named the bust?” Raquel asked.<br><br>“After a cousin.  I had custody of my child’s child, after my son was lost in war.  This scion of my scion… a rare thing for us, you call them…”<br><br>“Grandkid?” Verona guessed.<br><br>“Yes.  Grandchild.  We have so few children and fewer grandchildren that we exist long enough to see.  And my cousin turned her into a fish and fed her to me.  I smile when we meet but I’ve named the bust after him.  Perhaps one day he will chance upon this market at the same time I demonstrate how the needle is used.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/01/30 Excerpt] from [[Vanishing Points 8.6]]</ref>
