Grand Ballroom, Alfheim Palace, Faerie

There were more nobles and dignitaries gathered together here since the end of the war. Lord Dagos of the Merfolk, King Thane of the Dwarves, the Matriarch of the Dragons were in attendance along with their immediate families. All the nobles of the lands of Faerie, even some from Unseelie Lands were there as well.

And then there were those Leda was meeting for the first time. The Dryads, Pixies, Kitsune, Nunnehi and Menehune had all sent representatives. And countless others.

Though naturally no Diplomats from the Human realms could be present, the Elven ambassadors to their countries had sent greetings and gifts from them.

"Furachoque of Iguaque!" the herald announced another arrival. A woman in rather elaborate golden attire entered. Her people inhabited a tropical land rich in metallic ore. They traded regularly with the Dwarves, though they were best terms with the Nunnehi and had ancient ties with the Merfolk. Their capital had become known as El Dorado out in the world. She resembled the Elves save for one difference, her feet faced backwards.

[For those invited. The herald is moddable on hand to announce you as you wish.]

Depending on how familiar the Scarab was with Human mythology, that was hardly surprising.

"I'll be honest with you, I sometimes have trouble keeping all the races straight in my head. The lady from El Dorado for instance, I can't remember the name of her race, and until I saw her feet, I thought they were just like Elves. Sometimes the differences are subtle you wouldn't know till you were up close, some are obvious.

"And then there's the Dragons who typically take humanoid form when dealing with us." She pointed out the Matriarch of the Dragons, who at the moment was a regal, statuesque red haired woman.

"It's a lot to keep straight," Jaime agreed. "And I bet most people aren't very thrilled if you get it wrong, huh?"

"Some are more easy-going than others. I think sometimes it depends on how often the mixups happen. I know Dryads and Nymphs hate getting mistaken for one another. And I have to admit I get a little irritated at how often humans have gotten Elves, Pixies and Gnomes mixed up."

"Nobody likes it when people don't recognize them, I guess."

"Unless that's what they're going for. I hear Leprechauns deliberately present themselves as other races."

"Yeah?" Jaime shrugged. "I guess it takes all kinds."

"Might have something to do with the whole pot of gold thing." Leda shrugged as well. "But if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Will do." Jaime smiled. "And thanks."
