Talk:Sidhe

Hello @ Slaug. I had some questions I wanted to ask. In the edits I saw that you wrote: "The Sidhe are not affiliated with the Fae or any of their existing lore. The Sidhe are benevolent eccentrics, as opposed to malicious tricksters."

I realize that Belegarth lore often diverges from real world lore, but because the Sidhe are commonly considered fae(ries) I wanted to ask about it. Particularly since the Sidhe page references "fae" in several places, and the sub-category Fae page also mentions Sidhe. It just kinda seems like if Trolls or Ogres said they weren't monsters.

I also wanted to note that there aren't any inherent traits to (Belegarth, or real-world) fae(ries); "fae" are not inherently malicious (and collectively are not inherently tricksters; at least no more so than Sidhe historically are). For example, both Merfolk and Unicorns are listed as fae within Belegarth.

Looking forward to your response. Thanks, Rasheab (talk) 22:54, 13 August 2021 (CDT) Last edited 10/10/2021

>We are not affiliated with the Fae or any members of that race or its subcategories. Please stop policing my lore and stop moving my page. Stop demanding explanations from me. Stop lumping me and mine in with people we don't know and forcing an association where none exists. This race doesn't care about nature or the forest, they don't have wings, and they aren't even native to this world; they're unaligned extra-dimensional beings shoved into a skinsuit so they can experience existence in fewer dimensions within the mortal realm, bound to rules and purposes they can't explain in order to maintain an ineffable balance between forces they don't even understand outside of their home realm. The Wyldefae only exist so that people who play more traditional fae-type characters can be included if they want to be. Fae can call themselves sidhe if they want to, and Sidhe can call themselves fae, as both words are common nouns and there are no lore police in this game.

Now, this is time I have had to take out of my day to explain a story I made up to a stranger on the other side of the country who decided he knows where it goes better than I do, and then put it back where it goes for a SECOND time. I would rather not have to do it again. I said we're something different, so we are. Stop being a jerk about my lore. I can be whatever I want.

Given that this page is based on real world lore that has been highly colonized through the perpetuation of disinformation, I am going to work on editing it to be as in line as possible with actual lore. I will do what I can to maintain what is already here and label it as fictional or some such. - Aine SilverSun
