Apologies for the late reply, I’ve been busier than usual today.

In regards to unique elements was where you mentioned the way they formed their pact with their Husbands. The way I always heard the story was that the Fay made the pact she bound her soul to her lover along with revealing her true name only to her Husband. In this way they shared the same life force and would live as long as they continued to truly love each other; a reward of sorts for finding true love.

Of course the pact was far more nefarious in accordance with the reward. The way my Grandmother described it was that the pact had two stipulations.

The first being if he ever struck her three times (For whatever the reason) she would leave him never to return, and he would be cursed to wander the Earth the rest of his mortal life in a loveless existence.

The second was even worse; if he ever revealed her Fay name to anyone then she would flee back to the Fay Kingdoms. The man would die of a broken heart and be cursed to become a Sluagh or a restless spirit, which would be welcome nowhere on Earth or the afterlife.

So I am glad that you chose to tidy up the girl when making her a Mamono, and tone down the more vindictive side the Wee Folk can sometimes display when slighted.

As I said I grew up with all this lore from my folks so it really interests me when people adapt it and you have done a fine job of it.

Cheers,

The Weary TimeLord.
