Esoterica Like all faeries, they are users of The Tradition, a form of poioumenonic lore empowered by dream energies.
The Tradition
  • Most faeries can vanish and become insubstantial by speaking their True Name into a mirror.
  • A circle of salt will protect a faerie from supernatural powers for as long as it goes undisturbed.
  • Any fey being may summon a faeriesteed or cheval mallet (seelie or unseelie court respectively) by whistling three special notes.
Glamour Most faeries can glamour themselves using certain ancient rhymes.
Weaknesses If they do not speak their True Name backwards into that same mirror in half a minute, most faeries lose their True Names. They have a fortnight to recover it or they become targets of the Wild Hunt, corrupted into another kind of fey, or turn into a hag or boggin.
Iron or steel will bind a faerie into powerlessness. An iron horseshoe nailed over a door will bar a faerie from entering a house.
Most faeries detest tobacco smoke, and it can be used to stave them off. This is just a preference, however, and not a weakness.
