First Day

The strange music that had caught their attention on the trail miles back continued to lead them on. Other than the faint sounds of lire and bells, the only sound was the clip of horses hooves. Anyone who knew the three Stark siblings would have known something was wrong. Nathan's loud jesting, Lily's constant chatter, and Alexander's serene voice had always announced their approach. Now all three rode silenly forward, eyes staring into the darkness beyond.
Changling

Tonight, around a warm fire with a mug of steaming ale, the 3 Starks listen to tales of the Fae. Most stories stir distant memories of stories told by nursemaids or stable boys to frighten children into behaving. One wrinkled old woman spoke up. It is said that some of our ancestors experimented in the world of men. It is said, they sometimes snuck through the veil with a fae babe, and switched him with a newborn in it's cradle. These were known as 'changlings', and they grew up half in their own world, and half in ours. The practice was outlawed many eons ago, as these things never seemed to have a happy ending. Though I have heard rumors whispered in dark places of a recent changling. The deed was done in great secret, with much danger to those involved. It seems the Fae babe was in mortal danger, and this was the only way to save him. Those who saved him were caught as they came back through the veil. They were tortured it is said, to death, but never reveiled where they had taken him As the crone finished her tale, all eyes turned to Alex. His head was bowed, and a single tear was seen to drop from his cheek.
After the Changling

Alex had been quiet and somber since the tale of the 'changling'. Late in the afternoon, he asked his sister and brother to join him just outside the glade. He looked at them with love and affection as he spoke. You are my family, nothing can ever change that. But I feel the truth of the old crones words in my very soul. I am that Fea babe. I look around me and feel that I have finally come home. This world is mine, and yet the world we have come from is also mine. I feel the great danger to both of them coming from the north and east. There is peril for both men and fae. It will be dangerous, I may even perish in the task, but I must try. I cannot ask you to risk yourselves,... And here he was unable to continue as Nathan and Lily burst in at the same time. We will not be left behind! This is also our battle!
Mab

Now that their purpose here had been established, the siblings set out to question and learn what had passed before to lead up to this peril for Tir Nan Og. They learned that Queen Mab had been in the world of men centuries before, worshipped and feared by all. Seeking more power for herself, she used her magic to transform Merlin, a child she herself had orphaned, into a great magician. He became the trusted right hand of King Arthur. When Merlin realized the great evils Mab had done in order to further her own aims, he rallied the people to ignore her. To forget her and send her into the realm of the fantasy. It worked very well. Back to Tir Nan Og she flew, never again to pass through the veil. Her she sits in her castle ever hating men, ever plotting revenge.
The Sith

While discussing strategy, an interesting fact comes to light. A fire drake rises from the flames of the hearth to report. Mab has bought the help of the Death Fae. She has promised the Baobha Sith, the Ca Sith, and fetches much human blood and prisoners. For this reason they tried to stop Lord Alex and his party from entering Tir Nan Og. For this reason they will aim to stop you from finding the Grail. Silently the drake sinks back into the fire.
Elementals

Brownies sent to the far north come trooping into the courtyard this day. Small and quick enough to escape detection, they were asked to see how the conflict was affecting the elemental Fae in the frozen wastes. The kelpies and spriggens have been in contact with Queen Mab, we are fearing. They prance and skip about singing songs of great feast to come. Men they eat you knows sirs. Don't look good for them that goes north for the good of men sirs. No it surely don't.
