| Current Political Stance | The Fey are cautiously isolationist but willing to intervene when the balance of twilight is threatened. Recent tensions with the Unseelie Court have prompted a Council of Shadows to be convened, aiming to negotiate a new Twilight Truce. |
6.5 The Weeping Glade Incident
The Fey's guardian role was tested dramatically during the Weeping Glade Incident (1 231 YR). A mortal arcane academy, experimenting with anti-illusion fields near the border of the Fey realm, inadvertently tore a hole in the Weave at a location the Fey call The Weeping Glade — a shallow valley where Lumen-Willows grow in such density that their combined glow creates a permanent soft rain of light-motes. The tear caused the willows to weep actual tears of liquid twilight, poisoning the soil and driving fauna into panicked flight. The Ministry of Growth & Renewal dispatched a restoration team led by Root-Singer Aelwyn Fernwhisper, who spent three years sealing the breach and nursing the Glade back to health. The incident intensified Fey suspicion of mortal magic and is frequently cited by isolationist factions in the Twilight Council.
