ELVES, FAERIES, FAE, AND OTHERKIN TRIBES: More Descriptions of Otherworldly Folk is the third book in the series of Elf, Fae and Otherkin tribes by The Silver Elves. The first book, Elf Tribes, is composed strictly of Elfin tribes (150+); and the second book, Faerie, Fae, and Otherkin Tribes, describes Faerie, Fae and Otherkin tribes (150+). After publishing the first two books in this series, we Silver Elves continued to have many of our kindred fill out the kin type survey and contact us asking for a tribe narrative, so this third book in the series contains all of these new tribe narratives to this date and is dedicated to a variety of tribes of elven kind, faeries, fae that are faerie blends, otherkin, otherworldlies, and miscellaneous assorted fae. The 124 tribe narratives in this third volume are all newly published and are not found in the two previous books. Some of the narratives are a bit longer than those in the first two books. These tribe narratives will beautifully describe to you about their history, their unique powers, their unique magics and spiritual beliefs and practices, their way of governing, their spell crafting and herbal adeptship, along with their lifestyle and special creative interests and abilities.

     You will find as you read through the many narratives in this book that the elfin, faerie, fae and otherkin are quite varied in their magic, healing abilities, lifestyle, art, ancient ways, governance, love of nature, relationship to mankind, preferences, symbols and skills. The book is divided into three main sections: The first section being tribes of elves of which there are 59, some are of the forests and valleys, others of the mountains, rivers, lakes and oceans. There are migratory elves, traveler elves, and elves of the mists. There are meadow elves, elves of the grasslands and plains, desert elves, and some elves that are advanced Faerie beings. The second section is composed of 24 tribes of faerie and of fae that are faerie blends of the mountain forests and the valleys. Some of these tribes go back to the most ancient times and etheric and subtle dimensions of being. Others are fae who are travelers or trooper, of the rivers, of the deep forests, of the forest lakes, of the forests near the ocean, those traveling through the forests, of the lakes, and of the ocean caves. And the third section contains narratives of 41 tribes of a variety of otherkin, otherworldlies, and various assorted other fae. These are a variety of otherkin and otherworldly folk who are not necessarily elves or faeries even though they may well be related. This includes orders of the Shining Ones who are advancing upon the path of light and realization by returning to physical form to help heal others. Also included are tribes of unicorns and centaurs, leprechauns, the dryad, were-wolves, dragons, dragon fae and starkin, pixies, phookas, shapeshifters, djinn, fauns and satyrs, orcs, some mixed otherkin tribes, the unseelie, dwarves, döckálfar and svartalfar, mermaids, selkies, sirens, water sprites, bogles, brownies, and Kitsune.

     In these modern times we now abide, it is most important that the faerie, fae and otherkin have a strong magical narrative of their own in a world that often likes to tell us who we are and who we are not, and mostly quite inaccurately so. It is the hope of The Silver Elves that in reading the magical narratives contained in Elves, Faeries, Fae, and Otherkin Tribes that elfae kindred will be inspired to begin if they have not already done so to create their own narrative or add to what they already remember and intuit.

Over the last 30 years or so, we Silver Elves have given out over 6,000 elf names in our magical language Arvyndase to individuals who requested them. For years, many of the individuals who requested an elf name would also write to us and say that they felt that they were elven but didn’t know any more about their elven or fae tribe. And for years, we told them that they should trust their imaginations and intuitions and while that is still very good advice, we realized in time that this was not any easy thing to do for many of these kindred of ours who were often newly awakened and needed a bit of guidance upon the path. In response to this, we created the Elf, Faerie, Otherkin Survey on our website, as a means of eliciting the information that we needed from these individuals so we might create a narrative for them about their own magical tribe or clan of Elves, Fae or Others that was germane to them and as close as we could get based upon their responses and our own intuition. Note: we have also added the Elf, Faerie, Otherkin Survey to our blogsite, so you may also go here to find the directions for taking this quiz and receiving your magical narrative.

Sample Narratives from Elves, Faeries, Fae and Otherkin Tribes:
Here for you to enjoy reading are a few examples from the 124 kin type narratives found in Elves, Faeries, Fae and Otherkin Tribes.

Excerpts from Section One: Elf Tribes

The Leadothla (pronounced lee – a – doe-th – lah) tribe of the Syndalynlae (sin – day – lynn – lay) nation are wood elves who live in a hidden city deep in the forest. They migrated to the Earth from another star system but that was so long ago and much of what was known about that system has been lost to time and memory. And, at the same time and for the most part, they are happy here, except for the fact that so many among Men seem hell-bent upon destroying the Earth that, like so many elfin, the Leadothla cherish as well as revel in their deep and abiding connection to Nature overall.

     Their nation is ruled by a King, whom they refer to as the Great Star Singer but then their people as a whole are often called the Star Singers, or the People of the Singing Stars, for they see thems’elves as singing with the stars. Their king is just being the chief among them. The lead singer, you might say. His title comes from the fact that while the Leadothla may have forgotten many of the details of their lives in another star system, they have never lost their inner connection to that system, and they use their voices, often in a combined form, like a chorus, to draw down the magic and energy of the stars into their lives and into the lives of those around them. In this way, they spread healing and blessings upon the Earth overall. For they are a very healing folk, advanced elven souls, striving to bring light and love to the Earth and its inhabitants and to help all beings to realize their destiny among the stars, living in harmony together.

     So, it is that these elfin folk don’t wear fur, and are, in fact, very much against it, because of their sympathy with all of the Earth’s creatures. As the Leadothla say, everyone deserves respect and if they haven’t earned it, they should still be given respect so that they will learn to respect themselves and all others. It is sort of the philosophy of paying it forward, only perhaps, in this case, paying it first and getting the ball rolling.

     Their flags and banners bear a white tree upon it, with stars in its roots and the moon above it upon a blue background. The stars at the roots represent their origins in another star system, a system they call Tae Fyr nar Rafan (The Fox and Raven) where their planet was called Tae Bihyr, The Deer. The moon above denotes their connection to the Earth and the Earth’s magic as it functions in harmony as a part of this Solar system.

     The white tree is said to indicate the purity of their being and their essential connection to the trees and woodlands. But it is also rumored that there was a white tree, with white bark and white leaves that grew upon their home planet and that they brought the seeds from these trees with them to the Earth. However, it is also said that this tree doesn’t seed but every ten thousand or so years, and that the Leadothla are saving the seeds for a time when the forests are no longer in danger of being destroyed due to the predatory behaviors of Mankind. Some have said that when the Leadothla do plant those seeds it will mark the beginning of the Age of Faerie, which is predicted to coincide with the emergence of the Sixth Root Race of Mankind.

     The Leadothla are noted for wearing temporary tattoos, made from silvery henna like tree bark. They paint it upon their faces, hands, arms and legs particularly. These are often vertical or horizonal lines or streaks upon their skin and, like henna, this substance dyes the skin and lasts for weeks, or sometimes in this case, for months. However, unlike henna, the original color does not fade to another color, as for instance the black of henna becomes orange, but their tattoos remain silvery throughout until they fade away entirely.

     Religiously, the Leadothla are mixed. About half of them believe, as most elves do, that the Divine Magic is an energy that exists in potential in all things and all beings awaiting to be realized by each in their own way. The other half of the population believes in an outside force, or deity that they call Tae Wyl Tendas, The All Seeing, which is a non-gender power that set the Universe in motion and oversees all things, but for the most part, doesn’t interfere except to make sure its essential designs are fulfilled. However, being elven, there is no conflict between those holding these two points of view, and each appreciates the right of others to believe as they will. Nor do they try to convert each other.

   

The Nåralaar (pronounced nah – ray – lay – air) elves of the Klyntåpa (clinn – tah – pah) peoples organize thems’elves into small bands and of these there are two essential types, the wolves and the dragons, although really the wolves are formed in bands and the dragons, for the most part, are inclined to be wizards and sorcerers and sometimes hedgewitches who spend most of their time alone pursuing their particular studies, doing various experiments and living just slightly apart from the villages that they serve. The wolves have a banner that shows an eight-pointed star with eight smaller stars at its interstices upon a blue field. The eight points and eight small stars indicate the diversity of their bands, while the blue field symbolizes the sky or heavens under which they roam.

     The dragons, however, have a brown banner with a single green ash leaf in its middle. The single leaf denotes their individual and often loner nature, and the brown suggests the Earth itself and their connection to understanding the material plane with an eye toward mastering it. The green of the leaf suggests their dedication to healing and making the world a better place for all beings. Some have thought that the wolves are basically extroverts and the dragons introverts but we expect that they are still a number of variations of extrovert and introvert among those who have chosen these different paths.

     Mostly, however, these elves are bards, combining the magic of poetry and music as a tool for influencing the hearts of those who hear them. In fact, while they do prefer to keep their elven nature hidden from Mankind, they have been known to travel about the land individually or in small bands as minstrels, playing minor venues and gigs. Of course, their music and poetry is enchanted and enchanting and it is in this way that they act to transform humanity toward the greater light of understanding of mutual tolerance and harmony. They see their role mostly as that of inspiring Mankind and others who encounter them, and their bardic performances subconsciously encourage individuals to lead better lives and treat all others with courtesy and fairness.

     The Klyntåpa have a king who, with his advisors, considers all important issues that relate to the people overall. But for the most part, the Klyntåpa elves look out for thems’elves and each other. Their king carries a wand made from the branch of a silver birch tree, which is then plated with silver that has a moonstone prominent just below the grip. He is thus sometimes called The Silver One, while his advisors are sometimes referred to as The Maples. Together, as a guiding body they are known as The Forest. The flag of the Klyntåpa is a combination of the banners of the types of Klyntåpa. It bears an eight pointed star with the eight stars around it, with a single green ash leaf over it at its center. All this is upon a blue background with brown trim that looks a good deal like lichen and goes around the border of the flag.

     While the Klyntåpa are a forest dwelling folk, it is said that they are the caretakers of a magical glowing pond that can be found in a cave or grotto at the center of their realm. This is sometimes called the singing cave, or the singing waters, which has led some people to assume that the pond itself makes some sort of singing sound, or perhaps that acoustics of the cave to do, but the truth is the Klyntåpa keep an eternal vigil within this cave and there are at least three singers, at all times, harmonizing enchantments around the pond and thus spreading magic from there out into the world and particularly outward to the Klyntåpa peoples.

     However, the waters of the pond do glow and this seems to have something to do with chemo-luminescent properties of the rock beneath it, although some have suggested there is a certain type of glowworm that breeds in the water that causes this to occur. It is known, however, that people can bathe in the pool without harm, in fact, its waters have been said to be miraculously healing and some are known to drink regularly from its waters.

     Spiritually, the Klyntåpa have very similar beliefs as the elves in Tolkien’s Silmarillion with a single creator who gave issue to all things and the process of creation being in the form of a song. Clearly, when they sing to the magical glowing pond they consider thems’elves as sub-creators or in many ways as stewards of the bounty of creation and are keeping its wonder and magic maintained and functioning perfectly and distributed fairly for all to profit from and enjoy.

 

The Farylynde (pronounced: fair – rill – lynn – dee) elfae of the Ratåtålor (ray – tah – tah – lore) tribe can nearly always be found living in the mountains in the area of waterfalls. In many ways, you could say that their homes and villages cascade down the mountains alongside of the water’s flow. They are an elven folk but very much like the ancient fae or sidhe folk in their way and they place blessings and enchantment’s in the waters so as they flow down into the worlds of Man and the normal folk they serve to heal and enlighten them. Although, alas, mankind is all to eager to pollute those waters and dilute the pure magic of the Ratåtålor with the madness of the modern world.

     The Ratåtålor have a Queen who organizes their society and seeks to bring prosperity to her people in all that she does. She is known as Queen Sage since she is quite wise, but also because everywhere she goes her attendants burn sage and waft it around to purify the area before her arrival. Her crown is made each day of lavender plants woven together into a circlet. And she, like nearly all of the Ratåtålor, is tattooed from head to toe with sigils, elven runes and various other magic symbols and enchantments.

     The Ratåtålor, also, frequently have chains dangling from their ears, or from their ear to their nose or from ear to ear. They are a quite wondrous people and can move smoothly and blend among the dark elfin, the Goth pixie folk, the steam punk fae and even among biker orcs, trolls, grimlins and goblins if they feel a need or desire to do so.

     These elfae folk further have a custom of tattooing a white dot, rather like the red dot the Hindus put on their foreheads, to represent their third eye. Sometimes, as the individual elfae advances in their mastery and adeptship, this white dot will be extended into some rune or sigil to signify their advancement on the path. It is said that rather than tattooing this dot on her forehead, their queen is selected because she is born with the symbol on her brow.

     The flags and banners of the Ratåtålor usually show a mountain with a waterfall upon a dark blue background with white fringe. In front of the waterfall is a seven-pointed elven star and above the waterfall is a crescent moon turned upward that has water flowing from its cup and streaming down upon the mountain. There are dragonflies on either side of the moon, just above the mountain, fluttering about. The Ratåtålor sometimes refer to this as the Dragon Moon flag. Although, others have been known to call it the Moon Dragon flag, and sometimes the Water Dragon flag and others still have titled it the Dragons Flying banner.

     Spiritually, the Ratåtålor usually associate with the ancient goddesses of Norse and Celtic mythology and the ancient fae goddesses. They see their queen as being one or other of these goddesses incarnate, changing goddess form with the phases of the Moon, and flowing from one energy to another as the water flows and falls. For water tends downward, and the goddess and their queen give unto their people just as the waterfall gives life to the land.

     As one might expect, the villages of the Ratåtålor are filled with dragonflies flying about adding beauty to their realm. But, the Ratåtålor also have a very strong association with the raccoon folk and you will commonly find raccoons here and there in their villages at night and the Ratåtålor often leave food out for them and sometimes even have feeding bowls, with water by them (since raccoons are very hygiene oriented and wash their hands after eating), in their homes so the raccoons can come in and help themselves.

     The Ratåtålor say that they originally came from Andromeda ages go, but that is so far back that it is hard now to speak of their life there save to say that they were beings of light that descended into the material world and sought incarnation upon the Earth for spiritual reasons.

 

 

Excerpts from Section Two: Faeries and Fae Tribes

The Namaynfa (pronounced nay – may – in – fah) faeries of the Novarili (no – vair – rye – lie) nation generally find that living in woodlands around a lake or large pond is most conducive to their magic and their happiness. They find the combination of the forest and the lake waters to be soothing and healing.

     They are elemental magicians, and while they are also adept herbalists and grow medicinal plants everywhere, most of the magic they do centers around the evocation of the four elemental forms and their blending (see The Elements of Elven Magic by the Silver Elves). Their magic also involves the use of quartz crystals in various forms, and you can find these, often in enormous sizes about their realm. In fact, most often around their central lake or body of water, you will find at least four huge quartz geodes placed to represent the four directions. Sometimes you will find slightly smaller crystals, but still very large, at the midpoints between them. Thus these represent the midpoints between directions, such as SSE or NNW but also the merging of connection of the elements. But they also represent the solstices and the equinoxes and their between points.

     These faeries also seem to have a fondness of pearls and mother of pearl shells. You will not only find many of these here and there about their land, in their homes, gardens and along the various paths, but they also wear a good deal of mother of pearl jewelry, enchanted, of course. And while medicinal plants grow wild in their demesne, one may also discover fields of bluebells surrounding their region. The Namaynfa say that these flowers ring or sing when strangers approach their realm.

     And while there are a variety of trees in their realm, Rowans, Lilacs and Willow trees are particularly abundant. Yet, one may also find groves of birch trees for the birch trees figure into their enchantments and often have sigils upon them, not carved but grown naturally and the Namaynfa see these as signs and communications from the spirit world. They sometimes wander among the young trees to observe what signs have grown upon them. In this way they become familiar with the particular tree and its especial powers.

     The Namaynfa have a queen who is seen as being a goddess or a representative of the Shining Ones upon the Earth, sent to help, heal and guide them in their enchantments and aid in their effort toward personal development and attainment. Mostly by virtue of her example, but also by the enchantments that radiate naturally from her being. For the Namaynfa value many things but most of all they value the unique and eccentric and encourage every individual to develop hir own s’elf to the fullest possible in hir (her/his) own way. They say even the trees may look the same to the untrained eyes, but if you look deeper you will find they are each individual unto their own s’elf, similar but unique.

     It is said that their queen wears a crown that has a mother of pearl shell in the center above her forehead. This shell has a small amethyst quartz at the center, and from that, extending along the sides toward the back of her head, are golden and silver filigree birch leaves, descending in size as they approach her ears. It is rumored that when someone has accomplished something particularly significant that uplifts the Namaynfa people, or the individual has shown true advancement upon their own path, she will give them a pearl — white for helping one’s people, black or sometimes pink for s’elf development to signify their accomplishment and evolution. They call these the Pearls of Wisdom.

     As to Mankind and the normal folk, the Namaynfa are quite kindly, doing all that they can to help, heal, encourage and enlighten all that come to them. No sincere soul is turned away. Of course, most of those folks don’t recognize that these are faerie folk or that they are being aided by the fae but that is okay with the Namaynfa for the most part. Some of the Namaynfa may declare their fae natures publicly here in the modern age when it is somewhat safer to do so, but most of them are quite happy to just be their own s’elves in the world, expressing thems’elves fully and letting others have whatever opinions, however uninformed they might be, about them. As the Namaynfa say: other people’s opinions do not affect who we are, only how they see us.

     Their flag is blue with a yellow sun on the left, a white crescent moon on the right and a birch tree bending to the right as though being blown by the wind in the center. The tree’s roots are showing, rather like a Celtic Tree of Life symbol. The Sun represents fire, the Moon represents water, the tree represents both air (being blown) and earth, its roots. The deep blue background denotes the sea, the sky and the night.

 

The Nåmåja (pronounced: nah – mah – jah) tribe of the Wafrodatym (way – fro – day – tim) Faerie Empire are very loving and kindly faeries, who like to dwell in the forested mountains near by waterfalls and lakes and spend their days seeking knowledge, especially knowledge on how to help and heal the world and all who are in it.

     However, one should not think that these are just ‘airy-fairy’ folk, who are oblivious to the dangers of the world, for they will defend thems’elves if need be and live in the high mountains, not only because of their love for them but because they wish to be away from most of the tumult of the world with its incessant struggles and conflicts and people rushing here and there doing not much of anything, for purposes that seem unimportant really despite the passion that the worldly assign to them. It is, as Shakespeare said, “Much Ado about Nothing.” Or so it surely seems to these faerie folk as it does to most elfae sorts.

     The Wafrodatym have a Queen, who guides their world shedding her blessings upon her people and encouraging them to be ever better as individuals and as a people. The Wafrodatym don’t seem to have a flag or banner to represent them. However, wherever the Queen goes a faerie follows her with a pole that has wings upon it, somewhat like the caduceus that is the traditional symbol of Hermes that has two snakes winding around a winged pole or wand, only without the snakes. They call this her wand and staff, while she hers’elf is referred to as Her Winged (wing-ed) Ladyship. This staff seems to be both a symbol of her office and of her Empire overall.

     Magically, these faeries mostly practice a form of Faery Witchcraft with an emphasis on the acquisition and attainment of knowledge not only from study but from experimentation and from divination. They are ever exploring and getting to know the various planes and dimensions that exist in the Universe hopping from one to another. And since Faerie can be, as Tolkien said, a perilous realm, they continually surround thems’elves with an aura of protection. For these can be dangerous worlds that they explore, much more dangerous in the normal world of Mankind, although that is surely dangerous enough as it is.

     Spiritually, they don’t have any common religion or spiritual beliefs as far as we can tell. In their minds, if there are gods, they are elsewhere and of no real concern to these good faeries. For them, Faerie and its power and magic and Nature and its power and majesty are all they really need to know about the world of spirit. For those two worlds which are in many ways really one world, Faerie and Nature, are charged by Spirit and filled with spirits. However, if they happened to come across this or that god or goddess in their explorations they would surely be polite about it. Like most Seelie Fae, courtesy is a significant feature of their culture and their interaction with each other.

     It is known that these faeries have a great magical treasure, which is called The Wand Invisible or sometimes The Wand Ethereal. It is passed on from one of these witch faeries, or faery witches, really, to another over time both as a significator of great power and achievement but it also whispers secrets to the individual faerie about faery magic and about that individual’s personal spirit and development.

     Once, the faery has absorbed the wand’s energy, they gift it to another of the fae folk who will then be advanced by the teachings of this wand. It is rather like a private tutor and some therefore call this wand the Great Wise One.

     Once an individual has absorbed this wand’s power, they no longer need to have it around, for it has truly become a part of them and they of it. For their knowledge and experience is added to the wand’s knowledge and passed on to the next individual. Thus, both the faerie and the wand gain from this exchange and the wand just gets more and more knowledgeable, wise and powerful. By the time it comes around to an individual again, if it does, it has even greater power and wisdom to impart. Sometimes, they call this passing of the wand from one to another, the Journey of Wisdom and Knowledge Ascending.

 

Excerpts from Section Three: Otherkin [and Otherworldly] Tribes

The Loardar (pronounced low – air – dare) spirits of the Spirata (spy – ray – tah) order were once dragons but as dragons they became extinct upon the Earth and, alas, some other planets. However, some of them rose to the realms of the Shining Ones after that and, in fact, many of them are at the level of development and evolutionary progress that the Shining Ones call the Dragon level, which still entails an earthly existence in fae humanoid form but with greater magical powers and enlightened awareness. They are, indeed, dragons (or powers) upon the Earth helping to promote healing, awareness and enlightened behavior among the mass of the beings here.

     Most of these dragon level Shining Ones have come from other star systems, and upon reaching a certain level of enlightenment thems’elves were assigned to the Earth to assist with the great push toward enlightenment. Some of the Spirata, however, came here from other star systems ages ago, first manifesting as dragons upon this planet and later, once this became uninhabitable (due to hostility) to dragons, and yet having developed to an advanced degree of spiritual realization, they took on fae humanoid bodies to continue their work on this planet. Others of dragon kind, not quite ready to leave their dragon bodies, migrated to other planets to continue their evolution in dragon form.

     These frequent migrations through the star systems developed in the Spirata a sort of wanderlust. They are travelers now by inclination and by necessity, since they don’t always know when they might be needed elsewhere. Thus, they roam from region to region upon the Earth, spreading light as best they may wherever they go. Therefore, you could encounter one of these beings anywhere upon the Earth or elsewhere if you happen to venture into space.

     As far as social organization or government, they are essentially anarchists. It is true that there are Shining Ones who are more advanced than they but these higher beings don’t give the Spirata orders so much as point out what needs to be done and see who volunteers to do it. Their missions are not assigned to them exactly, but offered to them. They represent opportunities to serve and help and heal and in doing so develop upon their own spiritual path. The Spirata might therefore be seen as independent agents taking on whatever mission they choose that is available, although if they can think of something better to do, a more effective way to help, they are encouraged to do that as well. They are what might be called S’elf Starters of an advanced degree. And thus, they are Initiates or those who initiated things.

     The crest of the Spirata Order displays a swan gliding with the sun above it and stars on either side. Beneath it are a pair of crossed swords with a morning star upright between them. The background is navy blue and there is an ivy vine, with roses upon it that are on fire, that entwines around the border.

     The swan represents the essential dignity and grace of their members. And the stars indicate the Universal nature of their work. However, the sun above it all denotes that their work is carried out upon the Earth plane, upon material planes and that they are not on some far off plane detached from earthly existence, sending love and healing to those who need it. Rather, they are right here with those who are struggling.

     The crossed swords indicate their advanced powers, crossed because the Spirata use force as little as possible, therefore it is force restrained, while the morning star or mace at the center suggests that if push comes to shove they have the power to move things by force, but they’d rather not have to do so. The ivy suggests the interconnection of life that is behind all that they do and the fiery roses the benefits and beauty of enlightenment, saying essentially that spiritual advancement is not dull but really quite thrilling.

     Of course, being Shining Ones, these folks understand that the Divine Magic underlies and exists as a potentiality in all things, finding its expression in the individual as each one advances toward hir (his/her) own divinity. So it is that the Spirata honor the Shining Ones who are more spiritually evolved than they, for those Shining Ones are god like beings, often perceived by those upon the Earth and elsewhere as being gods and goddesses, or as great powers manifesting in the Universe and bringing enlightenment, which is to say ecstatic revelation, to all who are open and who are ready.

     Naturally, their relationship toward Mankind is one of healing and consists of an effort to educate and uplift Men and their kind. However, it should be understood that the Spirata see the all of life and all beings as carrying the Divine Magic within them, waiting to be realized and they don’t see Humanity (as a species) as being more important than cats, or dogs or fish swimming in the sea or the trees stretching toward the Sunlight and reaching down toward the waters of the Earth. All are destined to awaken and realize their own essential nature, to fulfill thems’elves perfectly and find a place for their own magic in the Universe in harmony with all others and blessed and graced by the joy of realization.

 

The Uarfurme (pronounced you – air – few-r -me) elfae of the Bowaarno (bo – way – air – no) tribe are centaurs who have unicorn horns, so unicorn centaurs. They usually live near the ocean, liking to run along the beaches, for that reminds them of the vast star fields from which they originally came to the Earth. They frequently abide in woodlands and forests often among manzanita and madrone trees near the sea.

     These folks love mobility, love running and, in their elfae human form, love riding bicycles and roller blades and skateboards and other instruments of movement that are powered by their humanoid bodies. They are not so much for engines but prefer their own power and control of the instrument of motion, which they think of almost as one would consider a musical instrument. They play the bicycle, so to speak, as one might play an oboe.

     In fact, their great magical treasures center upon these types of vehicles. Their own bicycles, roller blades, etc., are all enchanted and they can do amazing things with them that wouldn’t normally seem possible. Even when they step into the dimensions where they can assume their true unicorn centaur forms, you may still find them on magical roller blades or enchanted bicycles. It is a sight to see, for certain, almost like a dream or a hallucination.

     While they are adept at grammarye and enchantment, their main magic has to do with flowing with the energies of the Earth, Moon and Stars. They call this Surfing the Waves of Reality. For while their connection to Mankind and the normal folk is quite friendly, overall, these elfae like to stir things up, turn the world on its head and by doing so inspire the Normals to think for themselves, color beyond the lines and the Bowaarno, in that way, see thems’elves as transforming the world. In the minds of the Bowaarno, the Earth, Stars, Moon and all else in the Universe are in constant motion and it is best if we, as individuals, understand this fact and stop clinging and trying to hold on and keep everything the same and instead let go and move with the flow of Nature and Life. Constantly swimming against the current of Life and the Universe, just wears people out.

     The Bowaarno have a democratic society. They elect representatives if needed but mostly, not being a large group of people, they just vote on each issue directly. They have no particular religious beliefs other than they know that there are more powerful spirits in the Universe that are on various other dimensions than they are and they are aware, respectful and cautious in dealing with these beings. They know of the great waves and the power of the ocean and the tremendous waves of energy and power that flows through the Universe itself and they ever keep these in mind as they weave and bob their way through the world.

     When they first came to Earth, ages ago, most likely during the Second Root Race of Mankind, they settled in the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa, where they were free to run along the beaches of the Mediterranean Sea delighting in their freedom. Even when taking on humanoid form in order to continue on this plane to achieve greater realization and advancement as spirits, they have still retained the look of the Ancient Arabic peoples with whom they first interacted.

     There are actually three clans of the Bowaarno. There is the Dolphin Clan. These are the ones that most love being near the ocean and feel if they don’t get salt water on thems’elves from time to time they will shrivel up inside. There is the Unicorn Clan whose unicorn horns are larger and longer than others and they are quite proud, even somewhat vain about this. And there is also the Penguin Clan, who are the most amazing swimmers and surfers and who often live in more polar regions in the far north and far south of the Planet. These folk like to swim in the ice-cold waters in the winter time and feel invigorated by doing so. Some have also said about them that they love to wear tuxedos, but whether that is actually true or is just a joke made at their expense, we are uncertain.

 

The Toclara (pronounced: ntoe – clair – rah) guild of the Yåvarkyn tribe are Starkin who came from a place that was rather like Atlantis or Lemuria but on another planet in another star system, although they don’t entirely remember where. If you were to ask them they would say ‘somewhere in Space’, for they have embraced the Earth and their life here with fervor.

     They look rather like a cross between what Tolkien would have called Hobbits and the Vulcans of Star Trek, only with the emphasis on the hobbit or what we Silver Elves would call the Brownie or Gnome side of their nature. However, they are not so strictly logical as Vulcans, nor quite as food oriented as Hobbits are reputed to be.

     They first arrived upon the Earth in Japan and then spread out into China, Tibet and other parts of Asia and were deeply influenced by the Buddhists of that time. In the course of things, they traveled across Eurasia and encountered the Dragons of Western Europe, who were being hunted down and persecuted, killed for their hoards and treasures and all and all feared for their predatory nature.

     In fact, these Starkin realized quite quickly that most of these dragons were really only trying to protect the Earth. The dragons often established themselves in caves to keep miners from digging into and desecrating the mountains and they sought to protect the Earth’s inner resources, since Mankind was forever attempting to tear up the Earth and destroy it to get to its riches. Some of these dragons went so far as to attack men and take back the jewels and treasures they had stolen from the Earth and Men, in their turn, concluded these Dragons did so out of greed. In fact, they were just ascribing their own greed upon the Dragons.

     The Yåvarkyn Starkin realized this fact right away and while they most heartily agreed with the dragons, with whom they formed a permanent alliance, about the need for protecting Gaia, the Earth Mother, they also sought to persuade them to do so in a somewhat less aggressive fashion. It is the Yåvarkyn way to always help those who are of good heart and intention, especially to assist those who seek to protect the Earth for they have embraced the Earth fully and completely as their Mother. Like converts to a new faith who are even more devoted than those raised in the faith, the Yåvarkyn having come from elsewhere adore the Earth with a deep and abiding passion.

     So, it is that the Yåvarkyn began to live at the base of mountains, usually among the yews, oaks, pines and mulberry trees, beneath the caves of the dragons as a sort of protective barrier between Men and Dragon folk. Alas, their attempts to keep Mankind from ripping up the Earth for its riches has not been entirely successful, however, they still seek to enlighten Men about our (everyone’s) symbolic relationship with the Earth and the need to preserve and protect it. The Yåvarkyn are a ‘green’ people, as they say. They love being surrounded by living Nature and many of them wear green frequently and simply blend into the greenery around them.

     Spiritually, the Starkin believe in the Light of Creation, what we Silver Elves call the Divine Magic, that shines through all things. Socially, they have a sort of pirate democracy, which is to say they have a charter that they abide by and they elect a king, queen or ruler according to the particular needs of the time. There is no set length that the leader will be in charge except usually it is for the duration of whatever he or she was elected to do. During hir (his/her) period of rule the leader usually wears the Crown of Lapis Lazuli and the Amulet of Labradorite and passes these on to the new leader when hir term is completed. At those times when they have no king or queen, these gems are returned to the Dragons for safekeeping, although the Yåvarkyn say that they are returning these jewels to the Earth where they belong, the dragons are only the Keepers. In that way, their leaders are reminded that their power is born from and borrowed from the Earth.

 

The Shidorfyn (pronounced: shy – door – fin) clan of the Havoral (hay – vour – ale) Empire are dragon fae who prefer to live in small woodland cities often among Elderberry trees, Willows, Cedars and Dark and Red Oaks. They look somewhat similar to elves or pixies, however, their skin has a dragon-like or snake-like feel to it and they do shed their skin annually and take on a whole new skin that they call The Luster, because it is so bright, shiny when it is new. Their old skins are often fashioned into various items, such as bags and purses. This may seem odd to some people but the Shidordyn waste almost nothing.

     The Havoral Empire is a sort of constitutional theocratic monarchy. They have a King and Queen who have the final say about things but they also have elected representatives from every clan and they further have individuals who are considered holy and very advanced spiritually that counsel and advise the king and queen about how they might proceed in any circumstance or concerning any issue before them.

     The Shidorfyn originally came from a dimension that sat at the center of various other dimensions, like one of those places where four or five states come together, and was thus used as a portal or threshold to other worlds. They called this place The Ways or sometimes The Link and other times The Way-through. The Shidorfyn came to Earth through a portal from another dimension linked to The Way-through, however, something shifted in the Universe and they have to wait until the Way opens again. This may not be for some time, although their dimensional astrologers seem to disagree thus far about when it may be exactly. Such things are not easy to calculate, especially since they don’t remember this happening before.

     The Shidorfyn do a variety of magics; however, Druidry, Sorcery and Weather Witchery seem to be prominent among them. Their Druids study nearly everything in Nature, especially the trees and tree magic, while it is their Sorcerers, along with their Astrologers who are attempting to find the way back to The Ways. However, like Faerie, The Way-through can be a dangerous place to be and not all the Shidorfyn are eager to return. On the other hand, considering this world and its current condition, they are not sure it makes much difference. Others of their kind are of the mind that they can establish a Way-through here, with just a bit of magic. They are, after all, dragon fae and have advanced understanding of Portals and Thresholds. And being Weather Witches they can make things very pleasant here, at least as far as the weather goes.

     As to Mankind, they are generally inclined to help enlighten Men, however, they would prefer to do this at a distance from them, using magic to gently massage Man toward a better world. At the same time they feel that Man is ‘rather dense’ and therefore somewhat hard to influence. They do point out that once moved toward a better way of being, Men are unlikely to change again anytime soon. In the meantime, the Shidorfyn hide away from the vast majority of Men as best they may and pursue their own lives while wishing Man the best or as they sometimes put it ‘the best elsewhere’.

     Men for their part, who have little knowledge and almost no belief anymore concerning the Shidorfyn, once called them the Silents, or the Quiet Ones. Even other fae folk tend to think of them this way because the Shidorfyn are very psychic individuals, and almost always use telepathy among thems’elves to communicate. Therefore, it appears from the outside that they almost never talk to each other.

     The Shidorfyn do have four magical treasures. There is the Staff of the King, which identifies him as the Grand Wizard, there is the Dagger of the Queen, which signifies her power as the War Duchess, there is the Sacred Chalice of the Holy Ones, and the Book of Laws of the People. The Staff of the King provides him with the wisdom to guide his people, the Dagger of the Queen enables her to organize any defensive activity and gives her strategic understanding, the Chalice makes sacred anything that its contents are poured upon and the Book of Laws ensures the rights and freedom of the people. Some say that it is not the individuals as King or Queen who rule but really the power and wisdom of these treasures that are passed down from generation to generation.

Until the night doth gently rise with starlight cast upon our eyes,
And love abounds and circles ’bout,
And we greet the moon with howling shout.”
