Talk:Sidhe

Hello @ Slaug. I had some questions I wanted to ask. In the edits I saw that you wrote: "The Sidhe are not affiliated with the Fae or any of their existing lore. The Sidhe are benevolent eccentrics, as opposed to malicious tricksters."

I realize that Belegarth lore often diverges from real world lore, but because the Sidhe are commonly considered fae(ries) I wanted to ask about it. Particularly since the Sidhe page references "fae" in several places, and the sub-category Fae page also mentions Sidhe. It just kinda seems like if Trolls or Ogres said they weren't monsters.

I also wanted to note that there aren't any inherent traits to (Belegarth, or real-world) fae(ries); "fae" are not inherently malicious (and collectively are not inherently tricksters; at least no more so than Sidhe historically are). For example, both Merfolk and Unicorns are listed as fae within Belegarth.

Looking forward to your response. Thanks, Rasheab (talk) 22:54, 13 August 2021 (CDT) Last edited 10/10/2021

Given that this page is based on real world lore that has been highly colonized through the perpetuation of disinformation, I am going to work on editing it to be as in line as possible with actual lore. I will do what I can to maintain what is already here and label it as fictional or some such. - Aine SilverSun
