We reduced the list down to drop ones that were similar and ones that don’t fit. So we’ve picked Vainglorious and Cruel to represent that second axis – a vainglorious True Fae wants to be worshipped by its slaves, and a cruel one wants its slaves to cower in fear. Good and Evil shouldn’t really be concepts applicable to the True Fae though, even if Chaotic and Lawful work pretty well. So then we took the D&D alignment grid meme and mapped them across, giving us a sense of their personalities and which ones might be diametrically opposed. We have a target of twelve but for this exercise we figured we would do nine so that we could add three extra ones in later to cover any gaps. The second step was to reduce the number of them. The list of them is (according to the wiki): The Emperor, The Ritual-Master, The Garthim-Master, The Chamberlain, The Slave-Master, The Treasurer, The Ornamentalist, The Hunter, The General, The Collector, The Conqueror, The Gourmand, The Scientist, The Satirist and The Mariner They have the advantage of covering a lot of specialist areas and personalities. We could have picked from various schemes, but we got very excited last year about the Skeksis from Dark Crystal. The first step was to take an existing group of imperious overlords for our inspiration. We arrived at these decisions through a process which I’ve detailed below.
CHANGELING THE LOST 2ND EDITION TRUE FAE SERIAL
I imagine scenes of dark forests with inviting houses and caves, full of danger, tricksters warding off being eaten, promising larger sheep will cross into the realm soon.ĭarker concepts would be those closer to Wendigo myths, or the modern folklore of serial killers like Hannibal.Īs you can see we’ve incorporated ideas about elements, kiths, fairy tales and a possible quick durance for each one – hopefully enough to start giving people ideas. I was also struck by the scene at the beginning of Spirited Away with the thought that in Arcadia, one day you’re enjoying the feast, and the next day you are the feast.ĪM – From classical Mythology we have Circe, and many gluttonous metamorphoses, from narcissism to lust.
All your wishes come true, in a warming world of comfort with someone who knows exactly what you need, but you’re trapped – mind, body and soul – your belonging is your undoing.īF – This is our ‘Monstrous’ Ogre True Fae as opposed to ‘Militant’ Ogre True Fae. Lots of options for people to feel lost without her, or to no longer trust other people or to become angry at the mortal world and data collection or surveillance.ĪM – Imagine if the reboot of Fantasy Island was good instead of awful. Finally, we will look at three more True Fae in detail.īF – Have you seen Mirrormask? Why haven’t you seen Mirrormask? Go treat yourself. To start off, we will give you a look in detail at some of the True Fae we peeked at last week with their working design writeup and then go into how we came to these Fae in particular. In this design blog, we plan to look at some of the True Fae in greater depth, and give you a glimpse into the design process.
