Fae Facts?

[AbsentmindedMage]

I know that Fae are newly designed race but perhaps I have missed some information on them or perhaps a developer/lore master might offer some back information on them.Some of the questions I have:1. What is the lifespan of a Fae?2. What are typical Fae names?3. What type of society structure do Fae have?  <div></div>

The Fae are still the same mischivous little pranksters from 500 years ago, but other than thier society being first ruled by Queen Joleena, not much is known about thier social structure.</P><p>Message Edited by Cusashorn on <span class=date_text>09-15-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:42 PM</span>

<P>can look at named fairies in game such as the ambassadors in Forest Ruins or the named in nek forest.</P> <P>seems like alot of names are with YLA, EENA, INA in them denoting femininity with most names.  Alot of long vowel with smooth constanents<sp?>.  nothing i have seen with hard k, ch, ct, rt sounds in em. seems more like s, d, th, r, n m sounds.  am thinking the only hard sound may be a Qu sound.  only exception to the hard k would be a K or C as the starting letter.</P> <P>thats just what i've seen though.</P>

<DIV>My question is, When I kill a Fae Player, will I gain a kill twords my Slayer of Faries? And can Fae, get the title of Slayer of Faries? And still be able to go to there Farie Socity?</DIV>

[Cusashorn]

<DIV>no, because you'd be killing a Fae, not a Fay.</DIV>

<DIV>When I made my Fae character and went to Fae city I hit tracking (scout char). To my amazement half of the names on track were familiar to me. They were Finnish! As I'm from Finland it was fun to speak to Katri Eloranta. I had crush on girl with same name whe I was 9 years old <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV>So if you want to give your Fae name that fits the Fae naming lore ooc if there is any Finns playing and ask them if they wanted to help you naming your new char.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Here's a few finnish links for names:</DIV> <DIV>Mens first names (click links for different eras): <A href="http://www.etunimet.net/lukuPojat.htm" target=_blank>http://www.etunimet.net/lukuPojat.htm</A></DIV> <DIV>Women first names (click links for different eras): <A href="http://www.etunimet.net/lukuTytot.htm" target=_blank>http://www.etunimet.net/lukuTytot.htm</A> </DIV> <DIV>Usually Finnnish first names dont mean anything.

[kajirala]

<DIV>5  second lifespan!</DIV>

[Zutan]

<DIV>Well since fae made from "magic" and are "reborn" and even can remember their previous life one could argue that they have a somewhat unlimited lifespan.  Only their physical form "dies."</DIV>

Offcourse older people werent taught as much.
