[@LadyRunic] Hundreds of years?  How do they keep the humans from dying before they finish?  =P  Teasing, I am sure there's either a way or the start of the ritual is enough to do it.  Oh, and the whole fey realm thing.

Actually this makes Laira's background a bit difficult, as if he's going to invest that much time into converting the mother, why would the father not stick around?  Plus it messes up the timeline for her story.  Unfortunate.  I thought it was a matter of a couple years at the outside, but that's much, /much/ longer than I thought -- and also a huge effort.  Also a big risk to change anyone, if it takes that long, and a big commitment.  And again, there's the issue of she'd need to be with a group, and who else was turned, and why?

I wonder what happens if you start the ritual and don't finish it.  Actually, Runic, it occurs to me that in modern times, I don't think the Fey courts have much of a need for humans turned to fey, so any ones converted would be done in the higher-risk manner.  That will discourage most fey, but not all.  An interesting thought.

Also Falk...I wonder who turned him, and what era he's from.  I wonder if he's from the era of the Tuatha de Danaan...it'd make some sense....*thoughtful*
