Who is he?
A friend of the Eberyon in his youth, and a companion on the Quest for the Rings of Creation, this short cheerful magician was with the Fey King and his Queen at the creation of the Wold's Cradle. He became the leader of the fairies at Eberyon's first court. The Pixie Lord, a noble fey related to the King and Queen, has always been a diplomat and a trickster both, delighting in laughter, and seeking even to make the subjects of his pranks laugh. From the very beginning, the lesser fey folk who followed Eberyon to the Wold's Cradle came to The Pixie Lord when they needed someone to intercede with Eberyon on their behalf. He has many names: The Magician, Sir Fey, Puck, Robin Goodfellow, and Jack Frost, as well as others.
The Pixie Lord appears as a small fey, like a leprechaun (without wings) or a pixie (with wings). In dreams and visions, he may appear as a swan. He has an affinity for magic and for water birds.
Geographic Region:
The Pixie Lord has not chosen a side in the "disagreement" between the Fey King and Queen Maab. During the King's long sleep, he served the Queen, and still may be found in her lonely court. And he has also joined the myriad fey who have dashed into the Wold's Cradle to the King's new court, a place of revelry and joy in this later age. In the natural Wold, mortal followers find a connection to The Pixie Lord in secluded fairy circles, in enchanted woods, and in deep secret groves and grottoes that fairies love. Therefore, clerics who honor The Pixie Lord can regain spells on the Wold's Cradle, in the Valleys of Twilight, and in magical natural places in the Wold.
Relative Strength:
Moderate to Low. The Pixie Lord has never sought to rule any people or place. His effectiveness comes from wisdom and magic, as well as from gentle persuasion and a silver tongue.
