Hey, it's me. The person who did the fey lore.
Catch you up to speed, I was the old fey head, due to differences between me and the server owner I had to leave Avalore (sorry for everyone's plot-threads I left hanging, I really was invested in them.)
Anyways, for the last few months I've been made aware I'm uncredited on the lore I did, and have been trying to work things out. I've met positive responses from everyone I've messaged about getting it fixed, but basically nothing's been done about it. I'm not credited on any of the internal, or external docs, nor the lore changelog, and the entirety of my writing has been credited to Ava as a rework when it is, essentially, just my writing with the sentences moved around—with the only additions (to my knowledge) being examples or changes I talked about in the discord, like the move of near vs high, and giving examples of sylse through forest fey.
This has occured because the lore I wrote was private, and had purposefully not been made public to the players, and after I left it was made public without credit to me.
Here's an excerpt of my own writing versus Ava's as example.
Those of High Monsoon are human monsters, wearing their skin like tourists to reality. When they interact with humans, there is a palpable oddness and uncertainty in the air. These are the sort that become stories of selling firstborns for fortune, or those who grace coronations with prophecy, trinket, and curse. Their schemes are the sort where their prices are delivered plain and ‘fair’ but always cost more than one initially expects. They are deeply associated with markets, ‘fairytale fairness,’ and ‘classical fey’; In terms of fey customs, they are most associated with the Rules of Three and Prophecy - They most use words as a snake oil, making things seem more meager or palatable than they are as they upsell.

Those of Near Monsoon are human monsters, wearing their skin like tourists to reality. In their interactions with mortals, there is a palpable oddness and uncertainty in the air. These fey are those that fashion tales of children sold for fortune, of coronations graced with prophecy, trinket, and curse. Prices are delivered plain and fair, yet bear greater cost than expected. Fey of Near Monsoon are closely associated with markets, ‘fairness’, and the fey customs of The Rule of Threes and Prophecy; that thirds are more than firsts and seconds, their words are snake oil, downplaying or inflating something’s worth as benefits their aims.
For the sake of preserving the parts of lore that remain censored, I'll refrain from posting the entirety of my internal doc; But as you might imagine similar occurs for every court and other details, as the courts as they exist were my invention.
Anyways, chiarophinx signing off. Burn bright.
Hey!
Entirely an oversight on my part that this wasn't added yet after we had discussed. Relevant Fey pages on the Compendium have now been updated with due credit.
