puts on groucho glasses

HI GUYS. I've got something of a heads up/plotting post for you today! You see, Hans here got assigned by Morla to infiltrate the Seelie court in disguise, attempt to wheedle information out of various Seelie subjects, and pass said information on to Ganondorf. Morla granted Hans a magical ring that disguises not only his appearance (so those he has met will not recognize him) but also his true court allegiance. Basically, Hans will appear as a humble knight native to the Drabwurld, come to Caer Glaem to pledge his service to the Seelie. Great news, right?

Morla assigned Hans to stay at Caer Glaem for a season, so this will be a slow-burning plot with Hans focusing on building a rapport first with various Seelie, especially those with bounties, before stealing any information. So! A couple of things:

  • Though I won't be using an alt account or alt icons, Hanseelie will not be recognizable as himself. He'll look more like your run-of-the-mill stock knight character (but still a ginger, because gingers represent). Also, he will be going under a pseudonym, obviously, one he picked up while traveling to Caer Glaem, and you can bet he'll have invented some tragically heroic backstory for his alter-ego.
  • If your character gets CR with Hanseelie, that certainly doesn't mean later they'll have to forfeit information! I'm all for building the CR up and Hans not getting anything out it.
  • If you do want to use this plot as an opportunity to get your character or the Seelie in hot water, I'm happy to work with that, too! And at any time, as well. My goal is to make this plot as fun and smooth for everyone as possible, so Hans can either end up cutting a serious blow to the Seelie court, or learning nothing at all! It all depends on how ye Seelie players want it to go.
  • Down the line this plot will expand and there also will likely be opportunities for Hans to be found out. Because really, what's the fun in just letting him get away with it?
  • Hans will be keeping up appearances as himself on the lockets so those aware of his true character won't get suspicious about where he's gone. If anyone asks him, he'll say he's at Mair.


  • UM YES I think that's all I have for now! Hanseelie will be arriving at Caer Glaem on the 10th or 11th and I'm planning to put up a log for that. Shoot any questions, comments, ideas, etc. to me here or on Plurk ([plurk.com profile] cinematic). Thanks!!

    definitely!! she's a member of the golden cadre so she's already technically a knight and she already does a lot of training to keep her mind off things so sparring is always a thing that can happen yes yes

    however, she is about to leave for a quest thing and she'll be gone for a while, so this may not happen until she gets back? i'm not sure when they're leaving yet so it could still happen before she leaves! i'll add you on plurk so we can work things out when i know what's happening with the questy thing c:
