Hello, citizens of Etraya.

Our next mission will begin on Friday, November 15th. This mission will take place within a country called Auriel, and will last for approximately five weeks. Your mission parameters are to find the Lost Vestiges that have been left within Auriel and give them my token, so that I may retrieve them when I return for all of you. In addition to this, you are to display cultural understanding of those who live within Auriel.

Auriel is a country populated by people commonly known as the Fae. They have five Courts, each representing their own community within their country. In addition, each Court has their own boons and flaws. During your time here, you will take on these boons, and flaws, and in addition, will be given a Glamour to allow you to blend in amongst them. You will receive a briefing dossier on the laws of the Fae, in addition to their customs.

Please be careful about revealing your identities. The Fae are extremely prejudiced against outsiders, and I will not be able to gather you any sooner than December 12th. If anything happens before then, I will not be able to help you.

Thank you,
Aurora

I have a question. We're being send to a land of the Fae, yes? Thank you for providing a dossier, but what can you really tell us about this place? Do the Courts have monarchs that we can interact with or should we attempt to avoid them as much as possible?

[arora]

There are monarchs, yes, but I would not recommend reaching out to them. They may be able to discern the truth regarding you not being one of them more easily than the others.

[Sunday has so many questions about all this. After spending roughly ten minutes sorting through his thoughts, he picks out the question he decides is the most important.]

What if we do reveal our identities through no fault of our own? What should we expect?

A prompt execution? Prison sentence? Or...?

[arora]

It would depend on who caught you.

[hammerbearer]

Ugh, not the Fae.

[ A disgusted sounding sigh. ]

Those dossiers had better include details on the Courts themselves, not just rules overall.

I don't you'll know which Court each of us will join? How we're to blend in...

[ She's not upset with Aurora, she's upset at the AIR AROUND Aurora. Rescue missions in Fae territory are definitely not on the top of her list of things to do with her time. ]

[arora]

Your dossier will include information regarding each court, as well as which court you will be joining. With this, you should be able to blend in without difficulty.

We are dealing with the Fae, yes? Then humor me-are we returning with our years and recollections intact, or should I start drafting contingency plans for premature senility?

[arora]

You will return in one piece, unless you manage to offend them.

Is there a way to obtain information on these misplaced individuals, or has your counterpart conveniently forgotten to name them?

[arora]

I can give you some information regarding the Lost Vestiges, yes.

There are seventeen people amongst the Fae that do not belong. They had been in the city of my brother, Castor, before being left with the Fae two months prior. Castor had forgotten to gather them at the end of their mission with the Fae, and they had been left behind. These individuals are all familiar with Echo's quest to save the world. I do know that many of them come from the same universe as many of you, and some come from conjoined universes.

They are spread out amongst the Courts, so you will have to search through all of them. Given they also are wearing a Glamour, they may be difficult to spot.

Thank you Aurora.

1. How will our earpieces function for the duration?

[arora]

They will function as they usually do, but will be glamoured to appear as something the Fae are more comfortable with seeing.

Good. Something interesting.

[arora]

I am happy to hear you are excited.

[ornitiers]

fae? oh. so the glamour is kind of like the necklace you gave me on that other mission? to help us look like them? i'll do my best! how will we know these vestiges if we aren't supposed to reveal ourselves?

[arora]

It is similar, yes. And you will have to discern their identities on your own. They will be familiar with Echo, and as far as I am aware, none of them are truly Fae.

Oh! I remember someone told me something if I ever got a chance to go to the Feywild! I forget what it was, though.

un: Wolfman | text 2/2

[will_chase_balls]

Oh, I remember now! 'If you ever get the chance to go to the Feywild, don't.'

...

I'm sure it's fine.

[querulus]

what in the booktok

okay sarah j maas, should i just go ahead and assume telepathy ain't gonna be useful in finding these lost assholes? some kind of "a wizard did it" bullshit?? because that tracks with how things have been going lately.

[arora]

Your abilities should not be limited in Auriel.

[krtaps]

Fae? Like... fairies, from Peter Pan and stuff?

What kind of stuff do they do to outsiders?

[arora]

Their continent is full of only Fae and only Fae from their lands. Historically, they have turned other Fae into indentured servants.

As for humankind and others, I am uncertain. No one has been caught yet to my knowledge.

[arora]

Shortly before your arrival in Auriel.
