@Crimson Raven A fair bit. As I've been researching Fae Lore for two years plus for this Rp. And more specifically Falk. Who I made to be King of well- Fall. Fall King = Falk. The name stuck.
"a bearded giant or goblin who lures little children to the land of death." His daughter is said to lure people to her own design.
Essentially I'd like to hear your idea, but I'm not sure I'll accept a Eriking as they've been noted as 'king of Fae'. A position Falk and Yggdrasil both hold.
Oh not him exactly, (one of) his daughters. I’ve been doing some research of my own, but found very little.
Here was my working idea, heavily influenced by a book that had a neat interpretation of his myth, was thus:
The Erlking is a powerful Fae, what the queens of the Seele and Unseele are to their courts, over the “Wyldfae”, who are the fae who don’t usually align with either court, but rather fall between. This includes goblins and trolls. Basically the have-nots of the Fair Folk.
He is a hunter in nature, holding dominion over the spirits of fallen hunters, and the energy of the hunt: excitement, hunger and primal bloodlust. He also is one of the beings who can call up the Wild Hunt.
Of children, he either preys on them, heralds their deaths, or he's a guardian making sure the souls of children aren't harmed or diverted as they leave their bodies. Nobody is quite sure.
However, with the disater that befell the Sidhe, he too disappeared. After so long, his six daughters, each lesser in power than he, but still strong enough, grew concerned and began to search for him. For while he is gone, his duties go unfulfilled...
My character would be would be the youngest (and least powerful and respected) of the daughters.
Just the rough idea I had. I could tweak it to better fit the setting, or scrap it entirely if you don’t like it.
