Sorcerer

"...Every fae has an element that they’re associated with. For sylph, it’s air, but there’s also earth, water, fire, nature, light, shadow, and spirit.”

“Oh, that’s what Jazz meant? She said her family is air, but she’s nature?” said Kallima.

“That happens sometimes, yeah. Then there are sorcerers. They don’t have an associated element. They just sort of dabble,” Warren said, smiling.

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Sorcerers are named after their parents instead of taking a familial surname until someone in the family does something worthy of remembering. Merlin's descendants, for example, have kept the surname Lindon for generations. First names, however, are as diverse as their owners.

Major Organizations

The Divinity

A highly elite group, The Divinity is notorious for their grey morality and devotion to protecting the future by any means. Only sorcerers with divination skills are allowed in, and they are, in fact, kidnapped at a young age to learn to push down their own emotion and focus on the future. They often become advisors to royalty and/or war generals. However, with their foresight being their only means to interact with other fae, the members of this group often lack basic social skills and come off as incredibly blunt. Diviners not taken in by their second birthday are turned away, as The Divinity believes they have already formed bonds that would undermine the group's work.

Gate of Avalon

This very small group of social outcasts exists only in Evendial, where travel between the Mortal Realm and Faerie Realm is somewhat lax. They have a pretty tight grip on the Cream trade.

Beauty Ideals

In general, weight is considered a sign of health and, therefore, is more beautiful than those who are very thin.
Exotic eye and hair colors are also considered beautiful. Red and black hair are uncommon in sorcerers, as are blue eyes.

Gender Ideals

History

Sorcerers tend to fade into historical anonymity unless they are truly extraordinary or powerful, such as Merlin. However, some do have rarer powers that other fae lack, such as divination or empathy.
