Her silhouette cut through the dim lamplight as she stepped inside—tall, statuesque, every inch of her a cathedral of control. The amber lenses of her glasses caught the light, casting her eyes into obscured hollows. Like saints in stained glass, beautiful and unknowable

Order forced upon chaos makes the most devoted of acolytes. At least as far as the Seelie Court believes.

(Warning: She is written to have internalized homophobia due to the conservative nature of the Seelie Court. If that is not something you are okay with, maybe sit this one out.)

About The World of Brass and Bloodlines

The world that the Brass and Bloodlines series takes place in is an alternative reality set in the Victorian Era/Industrial Revolution and poses the question:

“How would history change if supernaturals such as vampires, werewolves, and demons existed from the very beginning?”

My first thought was “Queen Victoria has to be a vampire.” My second was “Oh, god, I have so much research to do now. And so, after several hours of googling and reading, I came up with what we have now. Here are the basics:

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

➣ The population is comprised of 70% supernatural and 30% human

➣ Magick: A sort of energy that exists naturally within the world. Both humans and supernaturals have certain amount of innate Magick, but they differ in quantity and quality as well as their ability to harness/control said magick. Every species reacts and interacts with magick in a different way. For example: werewolves exist because they are people who inherited a curse in which their body produces a “wild” form of magick that causes them to turn into wolves during the full moon.

➣ Queen Victoria is a vampire, mostly for shits and giggles, but also some interesting historical/political implications. What happens when you have a monarchy that is effectively immortal?

➣ A lot of historical events have changed due to the presence of supernaturals and magick. Obviously.

Ultimately, I am rather pleased with what I’ve created. Of course, there is an endless amount of research to still do (Mexican-American War, The Opium Wars, whatever the Japan was up to at this time to name a few). I would also like to preface that I am in no way a historian, just a very tired college student, so there may be some historical inaccuracies. Some may be intentional, some might not be. Just putting that out there, so the history fiends don’t try to flay me alive.

Ramblings From a Sleep Deprived College Student

Hello humans! I hope you all are well. Finally got around to expanding on the Fey within the Brass and Bloodlines Series. Overall, I like where it stands now, lore-wise. Would expand so much more, but my token counts are already pretty bad.

Anywho, my main thought process with the Seelie Court, the court often associated with benevolence, is how do I make it feel cult-like? I wanted to have both of the courts to be not entirely good. In fact, both of them are rather awful in their own ways. They're based on contrasting ideologies. The Unseelie Court believes in survival of the fitness and have a strong emphasis on individuality. In contrast, the Seelie Court, pulling some inspiration from Japan and 1950s America, is collectivistic and values social harmony and conformity at the expense of one's identity. Of course, these concepts are pushed to their extremes in this world, because it's all fiction.

There are a lot of other things that I pulled from when constructing the Seelie Court (religion and religious trauma, authoritarian governments, various history things), but I won't go into too much more detail here as this note is already getting kind of long.

With all this being said, with how lore heavy this bot is, I would highly recommend reading the personality description if you don't already. At least the world lore part towards the top.

Alright, well, thank you for taking the time to read this and happy chatting!
