The Tradition is the cornerstone of the powers of the faerie realm. It is a set of rituals, beliefs, and objects that have power simply because they have always had power. The two most basic powers from the Tradition are glamouring and vanishing.

General:

• Most faeries can glamour themselves using certain ancient rhymes (varies by subrace).
• Most faeries can vanish and become insubstantial by speaking their True Name into a mirror.
• If they do not speak their True Name backwards into that same mirror in half a minute, most faeries lose their True Names.
• A circle of salt will protect a faerie from supernatural powers for as long as it goes undisturbed.
• Iron or steel will bind a faerie into powerlessness. An iron horseshoe nailed over a door will bar a faerie from entering a house.
• Any fey being may summon a faeriesteed or cheval mallet (seelie or unseelie court respectively) by whistling three special notes.
• Most faeries detest tobacco smoke, and it can be used to stave them off. This is just a preference, however, and not a weakness.
