Telwyth-Teg
(a.k.a. The Solstice Man, The Goblin King)
Telwyth-Teg is an archfey of the Summer Court often reviled as a trickster and a traitor. He is known as the Goblin King for his role in offering souls to goblinkind after acquiring Jezibaba's Cauldron.
He is also known as the Solstice Man, for his unique ability to travel easily between courts of the Feywild without any discomfort or complications. His exceptional intelligence and ability to manipulate the circumstances around him have given him power nearly equivalent to the Archfeys Regnant.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Telwyth-Teg's usual appearance is something between fey and goblinoid in nature. He has leaf-green skin and the piercing green eyes of any fey creature. He stands taller than the average goblin—slightly over five feet, wtih a slight hunch—and has sharp Eladrin-like facial features, but with the signature goblinoid facial markings across his face, chest, and arms. His hair is short, messy, and a brilliant red-orange, and his long, spindly, clawed hands and toes are webbed like an amphibian. The sound of his voice, even from across a room, smells of cinnamon.
Apparel & Accessories
Telwyth-Teg dresses in light, simple tunics and pants of a fine cloth that makes no noise when it moves. He is always barefoot besides light footwraps, leaving his orange-clawed toes completely free. He often wears crowns or garlands of thistles, starflowers, and prairie burs. His only jewelry is a set of spherical golden bells he wears on his ankles and wrists. The bells make no noise, except to those who are Beholden to him. Telwyth-Teg will occasionally gift a bell to someone he finds particularly interesting or clever, in exchange for keeping a piece of the knowledge that impressed him. If this bell is thrown by a mortal in front of any fey creatures, they find themselves compelled to chase it down, pick it up, and swallow it—no matter what else they are occupied with at the time.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Telwyth-Teg was born a Goblin spirit, and thus a member of the Courtless fey. Early in his life, he was ensnared by Jezibaba and forced to act as a spy for her against Queen Mab. The story of the events that led to his escape from Jezibaba and eventual enshrinement as an archfey of the Summer Court is told in the Legend of the Caorthannach.
Reign
Telwyth-Teg is traditionally the patron of a Wargrave of the Cuarto Perso district of Cantonova. This wargraviancy was passed through the House of Murgatroyd for thirteen generations, though tragedy and scandal seemed to follow its bearers for most of this tenancy. He offered the position to Rusalka after the events of the Triple Defense of Cantonova, in which Ruthven Murgatroyd (the previous holder of the position) fled Cantonova in disgrace. Rusalka agreed to serve a seven-year tenure under his sponsorship, after which it will become an elected wargraviancy for the first time.
