Lacewing

---

Lacewing is a typical fae from a typical fae nest. Here in the Wyrmwound she is out of her element and so, like Mirek, she has limited access to her magic. She suffers from homesickness, trying to be around Mirek as much as possible to maintain her frill language. She is disappointed in Lisbeth, as she has no aptitude for usual fae expression. Due to the large coatl population in the Clan, who are largely unable to communicate with her, Lacewing finds herself somewhat isolated. Mirek, Lisbeth and Harlequin - all the other fae in the clan - have adapted to communicate with intonation that makes them decipherable to coatls. Lacewing alone is unable to be understood.

Lacewing left her home clan so she could be with Arial, who was not allowed into the exclusively-fae clan. The pair met up with some others from the ice flight on their way out of the Fortress of Ends: Tarkovskii, Sekhmet, Goddess, Tsirk, Rico and Lvovna. At first they tried to make it as a clan-of-sorts, but they found themselves preyed upon by bandits and chased from place to place.

Eventually they met Alyosha's fledgeling clan and merged with it on invitation. Lacewing is closest to Arial. She makes use of her knowledge of fae expression to act as an ambassador and translator of sorts when negotiating with other fae clans. In the course of her journeys, she has learned several of the languages of the Beastclans and is the closest thing the Clan have to an ambassador or translator with them too. She works with Alistair, although they have difficulty understanding each other.

Alyosha's Clan is a ragtag army of misfits who couldn't find a home elsewhere. It was founded by Alyosha, Lisbeth, Mirek, Skywall and Svetlana. With an unusually talented army, they have managed to carve a space for themselves in the Wyrmwound. However, the pilgrimage to the centre of the Plaguebringer's domain was not easy, and many fell along the way. Their territory is large and upon arrival it was inhabited by several undead who have all now fully integrated into the Clan. The Clan's primary export is plants, and they boast a powerful magically-supported Garden cultivated by Rico. Despite their location in the depths of diseased terrain, several talented healers allow the Clan's many non-plague denizens to live healthy lives (although they face challenges from Beelzebub's faction).
