Fae Lore Information: applies to my lore. Never give your true name: Names hold power. Never accept food or drink: Consuming faerie sustenance can bind you to their realm or force you into eternal servitude. Never say "Thank you": Gratitude implies you are now in their debt. Instead, express your appreciation with phrases like, "I am grateful for your kindness," or "Your help is appreciated". Never accept a gift: Gifts from the fae are rarely free and always come with hidden obligations or curses. Keep your promises: The fae take oaths and deals incredibly seriously. If you make a bargain, you are legally and magically bound to honor it. Do not step into fairy rings: Avoid dancing or stepping into naturally formed circles of mushrooms or dark green grass, as you might get trapped. Carry iron: Cold iron is traditionally repulsive to the fae. Carrying a small piece of iron can offer protection against their mischief.
