Llieah

Wife to Durand and mother to the Brothers HOZZ.

Stolen by The Fayrie as an infant, Llieah was raised as a servant to a triplet of Sylph. In time she caught the eye of Durand, and was married. After bearing three children, she escapes with them to earth, followed closely by Durand, where they live in hiding to this day.

History

Childhood

Llieah never knew her parents. On the third day after her birth, she was captured by the Fayrie and taken to Faierie. Recieving the care of these airy spirits, Llieah grew light and agile. As she grew older, she began to serve her three Sylph masters, as was her station in the Fayrie society. Living among the topmost branches of the enchanted forest, the Sylph were unwilling to descend to stuffy stale airs of the forest floor and the tunnels beneath. As she grew older, Llieah was ever sent to these darksome regions on errands...

Courtship

Durand and Llieah meet somehow. In time they get married... more details here someone?

Married Life

After their marriage, Llieah and Durand go off to find a place to live. Securing a comfortable spot, Durand built a house for her, and they lived there peacefully for several years. Llieah's first pregnancy resulted in twins, Ziggy and Hugh. A few years later she had Zack.

Enslaved

Soon after Zack was born, her feelings toward Durand soured. She felt a growing distance between her husband and herself, and felt entrapped by the earth-bound house Durand had built. Longing for the free air of her childhood, Llieah took the infant Zack and ran away to some far off sky vine forests. Durand, hoping to lure her back home, changed the house to be more comfortable for her, and then went to find her, leaving Ziggy and Hugh in the care of a friend. What neither of them knew was that the newly escaped Mogan and Shaquell had begun their plundering in the area. Llieah is captured (along with Zack, whom she manages to hide) and taken to Mogan's ship, the Woe. There she is enscorceled to use her acquired fay talents to propel the ship. After searching high and higher, Durand tracks down Mogan, battles Shaquell, and frees Llieah from the spell, bringing her back with him.

Escape

For some reason Durand and Llieah escape to earth...

Misc

what are changlings?

Ahh, good question. A changeling[1] is (technically) the fake person the Fay leave in place when they steal the real person (usually an infant). Often this is just a block of wood enchanted to look and behave like the real person until it apparently grows sick and dies. Alternately, a changeling is the Fay's own child, exchanged for the human child. The concept of the faeries stealing people away and replacing them with changelings is the oldest tradition surrounding the faeries (in mythology). I also use the word "changeling" (for lack of a better word) to describe the humans that are stolen in this fashion. I sould probably stop doing this however, since it is foncuesing.

questions

• if Llieah is human how is she not dead yet? or is that by Durand's doing?

I'd guess that living in Faierie (or certain areas of it at least) lengthens the human lifespan.

• Does Llieah have fey powers? I would think that she didn't. Even so she could have been captured to be fed Shaquell.
