Large metal bird cages hang all over the forest, empty and open. If you’re in desperate trouble, or simply wish to give your life to the fae, climb in, and close the door.
This week and next we’ll be talking about the fae courts you’ll meet in Little Wolves, our folk-tale TTRPG about werewolves in The Enchanted Forest. To start, we’d like you to meet The Witch Court, who make their home to the north in the cliffside town of Whisperer’s Canyon.
Structures are connected by carved hallways or weaving bridges, built with the canyon’s stone, and the cliff is lined with brick towers, porches, and balconies at every level that make it perfect for any broom-riding or feather-bearing witch to land or take off from.
The Queen of Witches is the Arch Witch of the Academy. Over time, as anyone loyal to this court grows in power, feathers sprout from their bodies and they begin to take on the body of a Harpy.
When a Queen is ready, they choose a successor and retire to the Harpy’s Roost.

The world of Little Wolves is vast, and we have many secrets to share with you~

Concept video for my up-coming Buck x Bucky Sorcerers vs Fae AU
- Buck ends up being found and captured by the Sorcerer's Guild after being separated from Bucky. Brought back to be tortured for information on his fellow Fae in front of the entire Guild, Bucky has to helplessly watch, less he give away the (incredibly illegal and damning) love the two share and have developed while on the run as he has tried to help Gale cross the country to safety from the Guild he is still expected to be a part of.
DISCLAIMER - these particular concepts may not make it into the final au, but it's fun to world build with stuff :)
This took way too long because my laptop is a POS that needs replacing so nothing runs properly on it, but I tried. Sorry the editing isn't as good as it should be, again, I wanna throw my laptop across the room because the lag is UNREAL WHILE TRYING TO EDIT FML it would have been easier to edit on a rock in my backyard
Hey! I've been curious, are there any extranormal sports?
Oh, great question. Never was a sports guy myself, despite growing up in football-obsessed Virginia. Most extranormal folks like a lot of mundane sports (there’s been a few semi-famous professional athletes who were lycan or what have you) but there’s a few unique to or famous in the extranormal community.
Yellow Circle folks have this game with three teams and three “balls” that’s a little like basketball mixed with hockey. It’s infamously a contact sport and also completely underwater. It’s a little hard to spectate, much less participate - you pretty much have to be a certain way into your “development” as a Circle member. I also wouldn’t recommend spectating unless you’re already used to nonstandard spatial forms. I can’t pronounce what it’s called in the Circle tongue, but it translates to “Returning The Eyes To The Empty Below”, or colloquially “Eyeball.” Fun fact - it’s actually adapted from an Atlantean sport. They’re similar enough that two teams could hypothetically play together without much changing of rules, but the two styles have extremely proud traditions and have horrible arguments over which style is best. Think American Vs Canadian football.
Fae don’t have a sport, I think, but they do play this incredibly complex board game via messenger butterfly that can take years, sometimes generations.
I hear younger wizards play something called “Valorant” and they take it incredibly seriously but I wouldn’t know about it.
