Fae Nobles are powerful figures in the Faen Court, rulers who use their intimate knowledge of the wild magics that exist where the Shade and the land of the living touch, in the deep, old wildernesses where no axe has touched the flesh of trees older than civilisation. Fae lords are often considered cruel and malicious by mortals, but it is more accurate to say they are simply alien and powerful. They know the power that lies in the shapes of stories, and how they hold the mind captive. It is this knowledge that all Fae magic is based upon, and the Fae Nobles are masters of.
