Question Along came a Sin

Greetings, welcome, rah!

mythology geeks always welcome, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, the important thing to remember is that if you aren't writing under the canon banner, it doesn't really matter what specifically we would define it as in canon... because non-canon stuff can go whereever it wants.

But... if you DO want to bring this into canon as much as possible... you'll want to get a good understanding of
1. Sidhe, the Courts, and pre-Sundering society - most of what we consider mythology of the Tuatha da Danaan and faerie... is explained as oral tradition and outside perspectives of the survivers of the Sundering... those who were forced to flee from this world because all Essence was consumed/destroyed in the destruction of the World Trees and the Courts as a result of the Sundering of space-time. Some of those who survived did so in a sort of energy state... and modern mutants and technology interact with them as spirits and gods. Others survived by going off-world, both via interplanetary gates and living ships... and also escaped off-dimension. Either alternate dimensions or offworld gates can account for 'under hill' references. Many of the other references can be explained through their people's inability to live on this world... not because of the proliferation of iron, even though they are allergic to it and the effect it has on Essence... but because the world was absent Essence which the Sidhe need to survive.

pre-Sundering Sidhe are physically stronger, smarter, and generally more evolved physically than humans. A Sidhe put through mutant testing will typically test out as an Exemplar 3 or even 4... but that is simply the 'default' for Sidhe. Like Exemplar 1 is baseline... for... well... baselines. Sidhe also are inherently magick, they are made up as much by Essence as physical elements... and do not need a lit Well (or a Well at all) to use magick... they either use their own life force for Essence or they draw it naturally from their surroundings. Stronger Sidhe mages can draw from more specific sources, including ley lines, nodes, and other world scale Essence supplies. The Sidhe could also provide temporary connections to other beings (spirits or the divine) though this was not as symbiotic an ability as Avatars and was typically magick driven instead of an innate ability.

2. You need to understand the differences between Avatar, Channelers, and Paladin - avatars have a symbiotic bond with a hosted spirit. channelers bond with a spirit or dimensional entity who stays in their home realm but has an agenda in the physical world and contributes power to the channeler for the purposes of that agenda and the channeler's survival. a paladin is something of both... and bonds with a being far too powerful to be hosted in its entirety. the being creates a shard of its nature and power and plants this in the paladin, while bonding to them also, not unlike a channeler, so that they can guide and support the shard of themselves and its host.

4. A glamor in the sense that is used in the WU is a protective world class/level spell that the Sidhe Courts created to protect their young. It generated some sort of defensive field around each pre-adult who was a part of their Society, stronger among those of status, and generally reflective of that young Sidhe's nature and role in society. Aung had an aura that generated love and respect... made it easy for her to acquire champions to come to her aid. But lust, fear, confusion, and so on... any such thing could be an effective protection to keep the Court youth from casual danger.
