Editing Frost Faeries (section)

== Background ==
The Frost Faeries are not from the same plane of existence than Innworld. They travel between worlds, and so they have different perceptions. In some places the will of the world and fate can conspire against interference and punish those who would dare such folly. In the same way, Gods guard their demesnes jealously. Even the fae would not tempt the wrath of such beings lightly, when in their worlds. Hence, their rules are kept and enforced among their kind.<ref name="2.46" /> The Frost Faeries (or at least some of them) are members of the ''Winter Court''.<ref name="3.04">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/08/15/3-04/ Chapter 3.04]</ref>

Their superstitions and internal laws are meant to protect, but sometimes become redundant, like in Innworld where the [[Dead Gods|Gods are dead]]. They have more authority there, hence their control over the weather. But the fae seem to dislike attachments and debt in any case, which is why they would refuse to help. Since they love tradition, they would demand a gift for any great aid freely given.<ref name="2.46">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/07/22/2-39/ Chapter 2.46]</ref>

Winter Sprites appear at the beginning of every winter, as they are responsible for bringing the snow to the world, which was entrusted to them by their king.<ref name="2.21">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/03/2-19/ Chapter 2.21]</ref> They are presumed to be quite ancient, as they were friends of the Elves. They are immortal.

They can travel between worlds, and were on Earth in the past. When asked about their relationship to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuatha_D%C3%A9_Danann Tuatha Dé Danann], Ivolethe denied that they were related to either the Tuatha or the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomorians Fomorians], and suggested that these mythical people as well as the hero [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%BA_Chulainn Cú Chulainn] walked ''other'' worlds which they visited. They left the Earth, apparently for environmental reasons, as Ivolethe put it: <span style="color:#8ae8ff;">“We left your crumbling, dying world centuries ago. The earth dies, and death fills the air. We want nothing of it.”</span> For that reason, the Faeries never heard of modern-times myths, like superheroes.<ref name="2.28">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/24/2-23/ Chapter 2.28]</ref>

The Frost Faeries vehemently denied finding delight in harming children and innocents, and are proud to not resemble [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluagh Sluagh], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finfolk Finfolk] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redcap Redcaps] in that respect.<ref name="2.34" />

They indicated that they knew [[King Arthur]], but made misleading statements about him and the sword ''Caliburn'' or ''Excalibur'', calling Erin a fool for believing that it was the ''Sword in the Stone''<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/04/2-08/ Chapter 2.07]</ref> but later not denying that when Ryoka made the same assumption.<ref name="2.20" /> Other references they made about Earth are the names [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%BA_Chulainn Culann],<ref name="3.03" /> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Con Lugaid], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrddin_Wyllt Myrddin].<ref name="3.04" />

|quote=Faeries can’t be trusted. Never go near a faerie mound, never thank a faerie, never eat their food or tell them of your child. They fear cold iron, though, and I don’t believe you can enter a place without invitation.
