The fairy world is a place of mischief, playfulness, magic, and power. Ruled by the mighty King Oberon and Queen Titainia, this world comes to life at the night in the beautiful forests outside of Athens. Although fairies come out at night it has been suggested that they may exists also in early morning. The faires themselves are unique creatures. They are tiny winged immortals with magical powers. These powers allow them to be invisible, travel around the world in forty minutes and affect the weather. Once Oberon and Titania had quite a quarrel over a changeling boy, a mortal child stolen by the fairies, which caused the seasons to go awry, “Contagios fogs; which falling in the land have ever pelting river made so proud that they have overborne their contents…the fold stands empty in drowned field…hoary headed frosts fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose.”

They often use thir magical potions and, being mischievous enough to play tricks upon one another, King Oberon once used a love potion called “Love-In-Idleness” on his Queen.

Elves and goblins are also part of the fairy world and , like fairies, are very tricky. Puck, a goblin, and personal assistant to the King is particularly tricky. He will steal the yeast form the beer to make it flat, pull the stool right out from under you, and even pesters the maidens by stealing the cream form the milk so butter cannot be made. Titania was also a close friend of the changeling boy’s mother and , Titania says, for the mother’s sake she adopted the young boy.

The fairies use the mature around them to provide for their needs. They have flowers for beds, snake skins for blankets and bat wings for coats, often worn by the elves. The Queen often requests that her attendants lull her to sleep with a lullaby. To keep her safe the fairies scare away owls, and cowslips act as her bodyguards.

Most nights these playful immortal creatures joyfully dance their encircular dances until again the daylight comes.
