Welcome to Annwn
Realm of the Fae

Existing in the in-between spaces of the mortal realms, Annwn is home to the fair folk. Long ago, the entire realm was controlled by the Fae Court on the sky isles of Fata Morgana. However catastrophe struck and the great kingdom of old collapsed. Monsters and corruption blights spread across the land, causing the Fae to retreat until they had no place left to go but Fata Morgana. Even there, while safer than the ground, they remain constantly under threat of attack.

However, the fae are nothing but prideful. Not content to simply survive by hiding, they intend on retaking what lands were once theirs. But after losing so many in the collapse, they need to bolster their numbers with both servants and new fae. So they turn their eyes to the moral realms, sending Fae out into these worlds with the intent of bringing back people with potential. While some Fae are kind enough to convince targets to come willingly, most will resort to trickery and kidnapping to get their way.

In this PSL, you can start from a few different points:

I. New Arrival/First Few Days
On your first day, you wake up in a bed different from your own. Unless you were convinced to come willingly, you have no memory of where you are or how you got there. Even those who came willingly will find their memory foggy on the exact path. Quickly, you're informed of your situation: they're in Annwn and a servant of the Fae. Some have a specific fae they are meant to answer to, while others belong simply to the Fae court. Each servant is assessed and given a role to perform based on their skills.

Some role ideas are:
Housekeeping/Cooks/Etc: a very literal servant.
Fighter: Either to protect Fata Morgana or sent to grounds below to fight and reclaim land.
Entertainment: Faes enjoy good entertainment. Musicians, performers, or occupations of an adult nature.
Get creative, the sky's the limit.

No matter what their role, characters who spend these days looking for a way home won't have much luck. While the fae expect some levels of disobedience from new arrivals, those who especially difficult will be kept on tighter leashes: either metaphorically or literally.

II. Settling In: Changes & Memory Loss
Days. weeks or maybe even months have past since arriving to Annwn. Those who have taken to their roles will find themselves being approached by Fae. Some will offer food, or enchanted trinkets, or even directly cast a spell. Whatever way it may be, characters will find themselves physically changing. It starts small: feathers sprouting among hair, nubs of horns, a green tint to skin, etc. But small changes pile on and make way for bigger ones. Fae and long-time servants come in all shapes and sizes, and you're to be no exception. Some of these changes are meant to be beneficial for your role, others are cosmetic, and some others are simply unexpected side effects. Sometimes mental changes are mixed in, but you're still you at the core. How the changes feel is different depending on the method and the Fae causing them. Some are painful, some barely noticeable, and some even feel downright pleasurable.

For those who continue to resist and cause too much trouble despite their short leashes will also experience changes. However these changes will be even more extreme, and they'll start to have animal instincts that override their own thought processes. The Fae have decided it'd be better to change you into a mindless beast to tame for menial labor or some other use.

And if the physical changes weren't enough to contend with, there's the matter of memories. For some, the longer they stay in Annwn, the more distant their past lives feel. Little details here and there start to fade, almost unnoticeable at first, until it becomes harder and harder to recall even basic things. Some will have their memory stripped more dramatically, if their controlling Fae deems it necessary. And for the rest, their memories stay clear ... until they need a favor from the Fae. The fae will grant wishes or bestow you powers, but often at the cost of some memories. The bigger the favor, the more important the memory. The largest favors come at the cost of one's own name.

III. Full Fae
Some never escape the servitude, forever clinging to past memories and dim hopes they'll find a way home. But for those who take to their new home, and are willing to cast away all memories of their past, have the chance of full fae themselves. These Fae no longer remember that they were anything but a Fae. No longer servants, they are allowed to do as they like. Often, they are encourage to take some reclaimed land as their own, shaping and ruling it as they like. Though the true mark of status among the fae? Is going into the mortal realms, and returning with some mortal servants of your own.
