MATES
|
Only royal fae have fated mates (their mate can be a non-royal fae).
|
On a royal fae’s thirteenth birthday, the name of their fated mate is whispered into their minds by the gods.
|
Fated mates can feel each other’s stronger emotions.
|
A mate bond can be broken if one of the mates marries another person before the two fated mates marry.
|
A mate bond does not make them love each other.
|
Mate bonds are the strongest form of pure magic from the gods and were created to ensure the strongest royal fae heirs.
FAMILIARS

The “bonded” (royal fae) can see and hear through their familiar.

The bonded receives a tattoo of their familiar on their upper left chest at midnight on their fifteenth birthday, and their familiar
finds them within a few days.

Familiars and their bonded can communicate telepathically.

Familiars live to be as long as their bonded.
KINGDOMS
|
Mountain Kingdom (fae—cold, snowy, mountainous)
|
Desert Kingdom (fae—desert land with mountains and plateaus, hot days with cold nights)
|
Tropical Kingdom (fae—thick canopy of tropical trees, humid, mild temperatures, borders the ocean)
|
Garden Kingdom (fae—lush flowery greenery with comfortably mild temperatures all year)
|
Human Kingdom (human—surrounded by the four fae kingdoms. Made up of all four habitats, depending on which fae kingdom the human regions border).
Note: Fae kingdoms possess magic that the Human Kingdom does not. Their vegetation, animals, bodies of water, etc. are different and can be dangerous to humans.
THE BARRIER
A magical wall that protects the humans from the dangerous fae lands
Fae can pass through the barrier freely, but humans require a fae escort in order for the magic to allow them through.
The five kingdoms agreed to erect a wall along the barrier with only one gate to each fae kingdom.
Any fae or human who passes through the barrier must have a legal permit to do so.
