Sidhe
 
SHEE
 
Sidhe Childling
 
Overview
 
     Sidhe are human dreams of their leaders made into one beautiful race of fae. The sidhe are tyrants, kings, and noble lords, sometimes all in one individual. They are what has come of dreams of both King Arthur and Prince John, and for good or ill, the self-proclaimed leaders of the fae. There are no mediocre Sidhe- they are the evil, domineering tyrants, the consummate Politicians, or the benevolent rulers, but never the wallflowers of the fae.
 
     Sidhe are generally considered (even by those who disapprove of them as leaders) To be the most beautiful of the Fae. It is they who engendered the stories of the Good Folk, the fae who's unearthly beauty and tendency to wrath caused mortals to never say anything but compliments where the subject of the conversation might hear. They have been one of humanity's sweetest daydreams and more disturbing nightmares for generations.
 
     The Sidhe live deeper in the Dreaming than most other fae, due in part to the fact that most of them have seen Arcadia much more recently. The Dreaming's Glamour shines through them, lighting the world for any who look upon their true forms. Unfortunately, this tie to Glamour also makes them more sensitive to Banality, and they feel its chill on even the most Glamourous mortal creations. The sadness of the comparison between Arcadia and the mortal world never leaves them.
 
     The Sidhe do not reincarnate as the other Kithain do, and no one is really sure what happens to the soul of a noble when they die. This has had the effect of giving these fae a much stronger fear of death than many other kith. Even the bravest Sidhe warrior gets a chill down her back when the subject of death comes up, and the concept of going to death quietly is one you will not find resting in the minds of these fae. They try to go out in Glamourous blazes of glory, for the idea of simply fading into nothingness haunts these kithain in every quiet moment. This sends many bouncing between their nobler and baser natures, which might be one reason they are not well trusted.
