The faeries may choose to ignore this news or rush to assist, staying hidden, of course. Fyrath is known as a powerful and irascible creature, approached at great peril, but she rarely stirs from her massive bed of gold. Why is she moving against Bochran?

She will not fight until out of Essencehaving been imprisoned by Leanans friends before, she has little desire to be punished again. She carries a potion or charm to ensure her escape: a nutshell filled with something that creates a bright flash of light to blind and confuse her enemies temporarily, a potion of invisibility or even magic shoes that whisk her away to her home. When her side appears lost, she will flee.
