In Which We Return to the Story of Urban Faeries
A few years have gone since a group of Faeries, living among the people of New York City, saved Christmas. Sort of. Perhaps they saved the city from too much Christmas. It has receded into lore, strange events shrugged off.
Now it is summer. It's one of those warm wet northeastern Julys. The air is thick with humidity, the streets are thick with tourists. Evenings can bring sharp, sudden thunderstorms almost nightly, as the cooling air cannot sustain all the moisture. The storm a few nights ago was spectacular; not even a Sylph would fly through a storm like that.
Our story begins a few days after that. Another summer day, the skies are clear today, the Yankees are home and the Mets are away.
Something links the Faeries involved in this. Choose at least one:
Your character is closely involved with the Morgan Library, which investigates unusual things and problems tied to the Faerie World. When the Faeries face a problem, they often turn to the library.
Your character knows one of the other **active** player characters well, and will tag along as a result of that connection.
Your character knows one of these three NPC's well:
Sionann, the Hudson Selkie. She comes, she goes, lately she's been very happy with the fact that the natural environment of the Hudson river has been recovering. Whales have even been seen there.
Thale the High Elf. He's one of those Fey completely embedded in Human culture with an identity, a job (actor, male model) and even credit cards! He's very popular with a certain circle of wealthy Humans and Fey that are part of the art world. A very nice person, really, but no intellectual. It's okay, most of the time, Thale is just about enjoying life. Typical for a High Elf, he's extraordinarily good looking and gets invited to high society parties.
Proge the Goblin. Works for the Department of Sanitation, generally at the Harlem River Waste Transfer Station. Socially about as opposite to Thale as one can get. An avid fisherman, and sports fan.
