[b]Corvus Bay[/b] + City of Crows + Entrepôt + Churched + Eye of Mab ______________________ [b]Powers and Principalities [/b] [hider=The Thousand Churches] There aren't really a thousand churches in Corvus Bay but there are hundreds. Draughty old Protestant meeting halls, neat well appointed Synagogues and neo-gothic catholic constructions from the old world. New faiths flourish also, long links to the ocean bring the faiths of Haitian Migrants, Middle Eastern Refugees and East Asian businesspeople. Most of these communities are begin, at least for the most part, but there are darker sides, mega churches that fleece the vulnerable, the mysterious Lodge of the Silver Twilight, Confutation temples which serve as fronts for organized crime. [/hider] [hider=Old King Crow] It is no secret that Corvus Bay is home to many crows. Literal crows, statues of crows, sports teams named after crows. There are also a surprising number of superstitions that circle around crows. No one kills a crow in Corvus bay, inordinate care is taken not to disturb their roots and the day after Christmas offering of left over food are scattered outside for 'Old King Crow'. Anthropologists have tried over the years to find the source of this custom but it remains a point of obscure folk lore.

[/hider] [hider=The Foreman - Vengeful Spirit of Kingsley] The Foreman - Back in the 70's there was a major industrial accident in Kinglsey where a chemical factor burned. Eleven workers and a foreman, the so called 'Kingsley Twelve' burned to death due to failure of the company to take proper saftey precautions. Over the next decade various directors of the company were found horribly murdered. The cases were never solved by the police, but those in the know realize it was the spirit of the Foreman and his men, now restless shades. They spirits still occasionally manifest in Kingsley, particularly after fires, scaring or harming bystanders. [/hider] [hider=Giselle Rainwalker - Lead Guitarist of Gossamer Axe] Her name was Giselle Rainwalker, and you just had to look at her to know she came from a magical place. A place of glamour and spectacle. A place known as the 80s. The blonde hair goes up and back, and she's obviously trying to bring back the hole in the ozone layer by herself. The hippie skirt and wrap clash with the AC/DC tour t-shirt. She came into Corvus Bay five years ago, playing with a band called "Pixies from Hell." The band rolled up, blew up, broke down and then everyone but her blew town. She's now forming a band called "Gossamer Axe" playing classic heavy metal. Tonight they're going to be playing at The Moon's Gift, and she wants Aliyah to be there. She is human on a technicality. She spent two real-world decades - 1991-2011 - in the Fairy Realms, and due to the time dilation effect of the Fea realm she experience a century or more. She soaked up so much magic and music - synonyms to some of the distant Fae - that she's mostly fae herself. She's a shit-hot guitar player, and that's all on her, playing an axe carved from the wood of a fairy harp. She wants to be better. She left someone behind in the Fairy Realms, and she's honing her craft to get them back. Someday she'll smash the gates of the fairy castle with the power of epic metal. She just needs the right songs, and the right band to play them. Someday. Two years ago Aliyah was investigating a Faun who was seducing his way through the younger female portion of the community. Aliyah finally confronted him at a club, but found herself not as immune to his glamour as she'd thought. Then Giselle took the stage and hit the Faun with some riffs from Randy Rhoads-era Ozzy. It shredded his glamour, smashed his enchantments to powder and shipped him out of town on the Crazy Train. She doesn't acknowledge the debt herself - kicking out douchebags is just one of the perks of the job - but Aliyah feels it keenly. Not enough to show up at her gigs, though. But if Giselle is reaching out, she must want to talk about something.
