Maemonoc

Maemonoc is a pixie/sprite of the Royal Court of Underhill.   He has served Her Majesty for untold years, not because he has forgotten, but because time moves differently in the Fae Lands.   Maemonoc met his first visitors from the Outside some months ago, when they visited the court several times. 

Maemonoc is small by Fey standards - standing less than a foot high.   His natural affinity was to shadow unlike many of the other elementally aligned sprites.  His time working with the powers of shadow have manifested themselves in his appearance, favoring blacks and purples, even down to the coloration of his dragonfly-like wings. 

Maemonoc exists to serve Her Majesty in whatever way she sees fit.  Because of his size and skills, he is often sent out to observe and report on what goes on across Her Majesty’s lands.   He has become expert at hiding and being unseen, while maintaining an excellent eye for details and information.   He has traversed the entirety of Underhill many times, watching and reporting on things that he thinks Her Majesty might find of interest. 

Most recently, he was present in the Royal Court having previously reported on the whereabouts and actions of an ancient and foul hag in the far northern reaches of Underhill.   As he rested in the court, passing his time flirting with fairer of the female court sprites, a tainted Fae from the Outside Lands visited in the most outlandish of attire.  

Maemonoc listened as he was able, occasionally using his skills where perhaps he might not have - to learn more about this odd and powerful tainted Fae Lord.   When it came time for this Lord to leave the courts and return to the Outside, Maemonoc was summoned to directly report to Her Majesty.   With a smile both cruel and knowing, Her Majesty bid Maemonoc to attend this Lord on his return and to learn what he might and to return and report to her when she might be ready to receive him again. 

Whether he was sent because he simply was in court, or as punishment for his supposedly unseen attempts to learn more - Maemonoc does not know.   All he knows is that he is now banished to travel to a strange and foreign world, and that he is bound and beholden to this outlandishly dressed Fae Lord until he is allowed to return again.
