Do the fae have any kind of afterlife or souls? Traditional folklore says no, but it seems rather unfair to have them souless compared to the other two races..
Greg responds...
They have the potential.
Todd Jensen writes...
Do you have to be a fay in order to be a trickster? I'm asking this because Xanatos is 100 % human, and he's definitely a trickster-figure just as surely as are Puck, Raven, Anansi, and Coyote, at least IMHO.
Greg responds...
Technically, yes. But anyone with the soul of a con artist, the hands of a pickpocket and a decent sense of humor can be a trickster.
Vashkoda writes...
Considering the amount of iron in rocks/soil, would being underground have any significant effect on a fae's magic?
Greg responds...
Not much.
LSZ writes...
I just want to check on this; if Demona had succeeded in her plague, we already know it would not have affected Gargoyles, wiped out humans, done serious damage to the New Olympians, and possibly sentient animals as well as Nokkar might have been unknown factors..but the thing is, would the fae have been affected at all by the plague, being creatures of pure magic?
Greg responds...
Possibly. Of course, most were safely isolated on Avalon at the time.
LSZ writes...
1) Did the struggle for power between Oberon and Mab get recorded however dimly in any myths or legends? Since fae seem to be remembered in stories pretty well, being worshipped as gods and so on..
2) Did the struggle cause any great devestation to Avalon or the Earth?
3) Did it occur before Nokkar arrived?
4) How long did it take Oberon to win?
Greg responds...
1. Probably.
2. Probably.
3. Haven't thought that one through. Hmmmm.
4. The length of the conflict.
LSZ writes...
Just why did Oberon choose to start the Gathering?
Greg responds...
He planned it 1001 years ago. He was just fulfilling his own command.
Todd Jensen writes...
Is Queen Mab subject to Oberon's non-intervention law?
Greg responds...
Queen Mab is currently subject to a life sentence. Everything else is moot unless -- or until -- she gets out.
Todd Jensen writes...
About what time did Oberon and Titania get married? Was Shakespeare corect about them being a wedded couple during the time of Theseus?
Greg responds...
Ask me again some other time, I'm currently in a re-think on Midsummer. I'm not sure how it's gonna come out.
LSZ writes...
Just why did Oberon overthrow Mab?
Greg responds...
She was trouble.
Also she didn't approve of Titania.
Abigail Thorne writes...
How did Goliath and the others learn that Demona and Macbeth can only be killed if one kills the other? Demona told Brooklyn in "Temptation" how she had been dealing with humans for hundreds of years, and Macbeth told Goliath in "Enter Macbeth" how he had named Demona, which she herself said in "Awakening Part 5" happened long ago. So I get how they could figure out both were immortal, but how exactly did they figure out the terms of the spell?
And another thing--if they knew that only Macbeth could kill Demona and vice versa, how come they thought Macbeth died in the crash in "The Price" and Demona died in the fire in "The Reckoning'?
Greg responds...
From the Weird Sisters, after they were captured -- but before they were released -- in "Avalon, Part Three".
"The Price" took place before "Avalon". And they never said she was dead in "The Reckoning". Goliath simply acknowledged that he wasn't sure. I mean how many questions have I had to answer here about the rules of the whole Macbeth/Demona thing. If you all have some doubts about how that spell works, don't you think Goliath and Angela might also.
