Also known as the Faerie Queen, or the Witch Queen, Mab is a powerful sorceress residing deep within the Fey Wood. She actively strives to bring the people back to the Old Ways, and therefore interferes with mortal politics on a regular basis. She is cunning and ruthless to those who oppose her, but also very protective of her people, her realm, and her followers. She has an uncanny eye for hidden potential, and often selects the least likely to be her mortal agents.

She is strongest in Alexandros, where the bulk of her worshippers reside, but devotees of hers can be found throughout the continent. She brings the gift of magic, and the power of knowledge to mortals. Such gifts sometimes come at a price. Other times, she is charitable: it is because of her that the Garnet Spire was founded during Serra’s reign. Wizards from Tharos and Alessa go to her, seeking her council on matters ranging from politics and trade, to the use of magic itself.

She is both feared and loved by her followers. Mab’s rewards are great, but her ire is severe. A bargain struck with her cannot be broken on either end. She represents both the positive and negative sides of magic. Covens of witches, wizards, midwives, common villagers and ambitious nobles are all counted among her faithful. She cares little for the alignment of her worshippers, so long as they do their work in her name, and spread the Old Ways.
