Past
In the beginning, it was just Arawn's
people in the land of the Celts. They carved themselves a wonderful
existence within these lands, and existed for countless years unaware
that there were other people in other lands. These people slowly made
their way into the lands of Arawn's people, and settle there. They could
see that Arawn's people were different than they were. His people had
powers and abilities that these new comers did not possess nor did they
die of old age. It was this that lead the newcomers to decide that
Arawn's people were divine beings and worship them as such.
They
lived this way from many eons until other beings similar to them found
their way into the lands of the Celts. The newcomers wanted to convince
the Celts to worship them instead of Arawn's people, but Arawn's people
had no desire to give up their place on top. A great war broke out
between the two groups, and was fought until the newcomers managed to
push Arawn's people into another realm called Annwyvn. It was during
this time that Arawn and his twin sister Maeve ascended to the throne of
Annwyvn. They had been trained from the moment of birth to rule their
people, and they were expecting their parents to eventually step down
from the throne. The day they would become king and queen of their
people came sooner than they expected, but not in the manner they
thought. Their parents were killed in the great war.
It
was these deaths along with the overall victory that lead the newcomer
to declare that Arawn's people were false gods, and demanded that the
Celts denounce them. The Celts would not have this. They believed that
Arawn's people were gods, and nothing these newcomers tried would
convince them otherwise. In spite, being banished to another realm
Arawn's people could influence their lives just as well as any deity.
The Celts continued to worshiped them much in the same manner they had
before they were banished into Annwvyn. There were a few Celts, however,
that turned their alliance to the newcomers, worshiping them instead
but no matter what they tried they couldn't gain a foothold into the
Celtic lands like they hoped.
Countless years drifted by,
and during this time mortals begun to move away from the old ways. They
begun to neglect the old traditions, rituals and offerings towards their
gods. This fact upset Maeve greatly. She believed something had to be
done to remind mortals of their place. This was a sentiment that Arawn
didn't share. He saw no harm in mortals moving away from the old ways,
and as such he and his sister ended up fighting over the entire issue.
It was a fight that ended up with Arawn banishing his sister from court.
This worked out fine for Maeve, whom decided to create her own court.
She had those who agreed with her sentiment join her as well as those
fae who did not live up their people strict standard of beauty.
It
was within this moment that the Seelie and Unseelie courts that mortals
often associated with the fae was born. The unseelie court is known as
the court of darkness, where many of the grotesque fae reside, and for
their more malice attitude towards mortal. The seelie court, on the
other hand, is know as the court of light, where many of the more
beautiful fae reside, and for their more playful attitude towards
mortal. Many mortals tend not to enjoy the games that the seelie fae
play with them, but they prefer to cross path with them rather than
their unseelie brethren. Mortals are more likely to survive an encounter
with a seelie fae alive than an unseelie one.
Both courts
are known to abduct mortals and bring them into their lands. Through,
they differ in their method. The unseelie tend to just take the mortals
they like while the seelie will trick the mortal in agreeing to come
stay with them. It is why mortals have tales that warns against entering
fairy rings and drinking fairy wine as well as tales to ward fae away
from them and their homes. In spite, their differences the two courts
seem to balance each other out, and many believe that dividing into two
courts was what the fae needed. They believe that if they continued
going along as one court that the fae would have ended up destroying
themselves.
Present
Present
The years drifted by until the world found
itself into the modern age. Arawn and Maeve still rule their respected
courts, but they have found their influence have seeped out of the lands
of the Celts and into other lands. It appeared that the world is filled
with other people--both human and gods alike. There is no question with
the mind of mortal in this version of earth about the existence of
gods. Evidences of their existence is everywhere. They walk among them,
mingle with them and rule over various city-state.
In
fact, this version of earth isn't divided by countries as much as
city-states. Each god or goddess have their own city-state, and it is
only if multiple city-states ruled by gods of the same pantheon does one
consider that area to be a country. Through, belonging to the same
country doesn't necessary make city-states loyal to each other. They
will often go to war, or stand against each other over various issues.
During the passage of time, Arawn became the patron god of Cardiff.
