The morthos
fairy live in a parallel world known as
Shivenridge. They are a magical race of healers, empaths, and warriors. Born of the moon goddess,
they are guardians of the light. The morthos fairy
is bound to the light. It is an eternal bond. They
draw strength from the light and are able to use it
in defense. Because of their gifts, though, they
have been hunted down and enslaved for thousands of
years.
To protect the fairies, the moon
goddess has given each fairy a task at birth. They
must seek out and find their circle of strength and
protection. The fairy is at the
center of their circle. Within a fairy's circle are
a series of rings. The average fairy has three
rings. The first ring is the companion. This
person may or may not be a fairy. Separate, the two
are incomplete, but together they are one. Their
bond is unbreakable. The fairy and companion draw on
each other for strength and support. What one lacks,
the other possesses. The second ring is the mate,
because of centuries of being hunted down and
persecuted for their gifts. A fairy is born with a
strong mating instinct. Their bond with their mate
is instantaneous and mutual. The bond is for life.
The mate too, may or may not be a fairy. In addition
to a fairy, they can also take a elf or human
as a mate. The third outer ring is the
protector. This is considered an honored position
within the face of fairies, for it is this person,
whom the fairy entrusts with the safety and
protection of those who mean more to them than life
itself, their companion and mate. The three rings
completes an average fairy's circle. It may take
most of a fairy's life to find, and complete it's
circle. A more powerful fairy may add additional
rings within their circle. A fairy has a natural
innocence to their nature. They often appear
childlike because of it. They are however,
intelligent, skilled warriors, not to be taken for
granted.
Appearance:
A morthos fairy is human
in appearance with the exception of their ears. A
morthos fairy whose bloodline is mostly fairy and
elf, tend to have pointed ears. Fairies who are part
human, often are born with rounded "human" like
ears. A fairy's skin color ranges from white to
black just the same as with the human race. Because
of their increased metabolism, most morthos fairies
are shorter in height than humans or elves. Males
may reach a height of 5' 11" and females may reach
5' 8" though the average is around 5' 4". A first
level morthos fairy has no visible wings. Examining
their backs, there is no indication a set of wings
exist. A second level fairy is the same, except they
are able to extend and retract their wings at will.
The wings come in a range of colors, a morthos fairy
does not fly, the wings are used as a "solar panel"
during the day to draw energy from the sun. The
wings also glow. This glow is controllable by the
fairy and serves as a defensive weapon. A fairy can
momentarily blind their attacker or opponent
allowing them an instant to strike or flee.
Origin:
Three thousand years ago in the kingdom of
Shivenridge, a great plague befell the land. Despite
the efforts of the priests and wizards, the disease
spread quickly. On the eave of a lunar eclipse, a
desperate elven mother made a dangerous journey deep
within the heart of the Enderin Valley to the temple
of the moon goddess. Avoiding the poisonous tutarna
that inhabit the valley, the mother reached the
temple just as the totality of the eclipse was
approaching. She knelt before the altar of the
goddess in front of a patch of moon flowers. The moon flower is considered the
symbol of the goddess. The mother prayed for a
miracle to save her stricken children as the eclipse
reached totality. The valley became eerily quiet as
the first rays of moon light emerged from the eclipse.
The light struck a moon flower in front of the
mother. The flower opened and began to glow. Taking
this as a sign from the goddess, the mother began to
cry. A single tear fell into the open blossom. The
flower closed and began to glow brighter. Before the
mother's eyes it grew rapidly. In fear the mother
backed away and watched as the flower grew larger and brighter
still. Within the blossom, a
silhouette began to form. As the light became
blinding, the mother shielded her eyes. When the
light subsided, the flower opened. There within
stood a gold-winged morthos fairy. The first of her
race. As she spread her wings, they glowed with a
golden light that filled the valley. Around the
fairy the other moon flowers blossomed. The mother
dropped to her knees in fear bowing her head. The
fairy walked up to the mother and knelt before her.
She placed a finger under the mother's chin raising
her head. The fairy smiled and whispered. "Do not
be afraid, I have been sent by the moon goddess to
save your children, your prayers have been answered.
My name is Anghara Wynn." Hearing this, the mother
began to cry in joy. The tears of happiness rolled
down her cheeks. The fairy cupped her hands and
caught the mothers tears. She then walked to the
moon flowers and dropped a tear into each of the
blossoms. From those flowers other fairies emerged.
The fairies returned to Shivenridge with the mother
and fulfilled their promise. They healed the sick
and saved the kingdom. In gratitude, the people of
Shivenridge gave the fairies a home, and erected for
them a temple, atop the highest mountain overlooking
the sea. The people of Shivenridge accepted the
fairies with open arms. They have been brothers
and sisters ever since.
History:
For three thousand
years the face of fairies and the people of
Shivenridge have lived as one. Together they
celebrated the good times, fought side by side in
times of war, and helped one another through the hard
times. It was not long before the queen of the
fairies, was "adopted" so to speak by the people of
Shivenridge to be their queen as well. This
arrangement was mutually beneficial to both races.
Since the first gold-winged fairy, there has
only been only two others. They both were born at
times of dire hardships. Using their unique gifts
and powers the gold-winged fairies restored their
people to good times. Long ago it was foretold, that
a great tragedy would befall the race of fairies and
the people of Shivenridge. Out of this tragedy, it
was said, a gold-winged fairy, stronger than her
sisters before her, would lead her people out of the
darkness and into the light. She would bring a
lasting peace and prosperity. Many believe it is
just that, a legend, one that will never come to be.
Twenty years before Keya opened the portal, a
warlord from the west found a sword of dark power.
He unleashed the powers of the sword against the
people of Shivenridge and the race of fairies. The
warlord wanted to take control of the great portal,
so he might conquer and control both worlds. The
soldiers of Shivenridge, led by their fairy queen
fought a final confrontation against the warlord on
the great plains to the west. The battle raged for
hours. In the end, the fairy Queen, and the last of
the morthos fairies, gave their lives to insure the
freedom of their world and our own. With their
deaths, so died the legend.
