Story
Long ago, fairies were peaceful, mischievous, happy-go-lucky creatures who spent most of their time dancing, playing, singing, and eating honey and fruit. Honey is a sweet and Viscous fluid produced by Honey bees (and some other species and derived from the nectar of Flowers According to the The term fruit has different meanings dependent on context and the term is not synonymous in Food preparation and Biology.
That all changed when a foolish fairy by the name of Merryzot decided to try eating the meat of a dead mouse. The never-before-tasted substance proved addictive, and soon all fairies, being as amoral as they are adventurous, were carving up all manner of flesh to discover the best tasting. The term " addiction " is used in many contexts to describe an obsession compulsion or excessive Physical dependence or psychological dependence such as Amorality is the quality of existence in which the concept of Morality (or Right and wrong) is invalid
Eventually it was discovered that the best-tasting meat of all was the meat of the fairy, and their society was plunged into chaos as they devoured one another, with the old fairy nobility fleeing to the moon and the Gnomic races (gnomes, leprechauns etc. In Irish mythology, a leprechaun (leipreachán ) vanishing underground, acts that would come back to haunt the Woodland Fairies later.
Eventually the very essence of Fairydom was altered, and fairies, who spring into being fully grown from pods produced by amber drops in spring, were born addicted and hungering for the flesh of their fellows. Flesh is the soft part of the body of a person or animal which is between the skin and the bones
Races
The fairies of Fairy Meat are divided into a variety of sub-breeds, some of which form different Circles than others. See Breed (song for the song by Nirvana. See Breed (video game for the video game by Brat Designs The breeds of fairies are:
Woodland Fairies: these are the primary fairies the player uses, all that remains of a once enchanting culture. Divided into several sub-breeds named after various plants, Woodland Fairies are regarded as primitives by other fairy races. Their diet of fairy flesh apparently makes them incredibly strong (by fairy standards).
Glitter Fairies: a sub-breed of Woodland Fairy, these are the descendants of lesser fairy nobility and those fairy sorcerers who survived the downfall of fairy civilisation. Nobility is a government-privileged title which may be either hereditary (see Hereditary titles) or for a lifetime Magic, sometimes known as sorcery, is a Conceptual system that asserts human ability to control the natural world (including events objects people and In the game, these are weaker than normal Woodland Fairies but make up for by being able to use the Nasty (battle/offensive) and Nice (healing/defensive) branches of fairy magic. Magic, sometimes known as sorcery, is a Conceptual system that asserts human ability to control the natural world (including events objects people and
Gnomes: After abandoning life alongside ancient humans and going underground to prepare for world domination, the gnomic races eventually fell to infighting, which resulted in the annihilation of all races bar two; the science-loving Gnomes and the drunken, undead Leperchauns. A gnome is a Mythical creature characterized by its extremely small size and subterranean lifestyle Gnomes have lost all of their former magical powers, but in return have developed incredible technological skill, including bionic body parts, chemical weapons and rocket launchers. Chemical warfare involves using the toxic properties of Chemical substances to kill injure or incapacitate an enemy. A rocket or rocket vehicle is a Missile, Aircraft or other Vehicle which obtains Thrust by the reaction of the The mad Leperchauns, having become zombies due to an addiction to alchemical shoe polish formula, are apparently easy prey for Gnomes, as many Gnome inventions are powered by Leperchaun brew (blenderized Leperchaun). An invention is a new form composition of matter device or Process. Gnomes as a race seem to suffer from a Napoleon Complex ,and are determined to one day conquer the surface. Napoleon Bonaparte (15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821 was a French military and political leader who had a significant impact on the History of Europe. Though slower than fairies, their deadly weaponry and their cyborg slaves (the Clock-Fairies) make them a force to be reckoned with. A cyborg is a Cybernetic Organism ( ie, an organism that has both artificial and natural systems Their racial enemies are the Gremlins, who live to destroy machinery. A gremlin is a folkloric creature commonly depicted as mischievous and mechanically oriented with a specific interest in Aircraft. Gnomes, Gremlins and Clock-Fairies are detailed in "Clockwork Stomp!", the first supplement for Fairy Meat.
Clock-Fairies: These twisted abominations are created by Gnomes. A Gnome must first assemble a fairy body of machinery, including rotor-like wings, which serve as a power source. Then he needs to catch a living fairy, cut its head off then graft it to the mechanical body. Though most Clock-Fairies work for Gnomes, some do manage to go rogue, joining fairy circles to take revenge on their former masters.
Moon Fairies: When a mysterious force threatened fairies at the onset of the Dark Ages, the nobility did what they do best - they ran away. In this case, they made it to the moon before they finally stopped. There, the fairy culture survived and eventually evolved (or degenerated, depending on how you look at it) into a rock-and-roll obsessed civilisation. Rock and roll (also known as rock 'n' roll) is a form of Music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s with roots in mostly African In recent years, the music-loving Moon Fairies returned to earth, only to find that in their absence the Woodland Fairies had become fierce cannibals, who refused to obey the descendants of the creeps who had left them to rot so long ago. Cannibalism (from Spanish es ''caníbal'' in connection with cannibalism among the Antillean Caribs, also called anthropophagy (from Greek ἄνθρωπος Unable to match the strength that their former minions' cannibalistic diet gave them, the Moon Fairies developed a mystical lipstick called Pink, which allowed them to suck the life from another fairy and thus give them the opportunity to match their degenerate kinsfolk. Lipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments oils waxes and emollients that applies color and texture to the lips. Moon Fairies make no distinction between fighters and wizards, but their style of magic is different from earth Fae, being divided into Glamour and Glitz branches. A magician, wizard, sorcerer or a person known under one of many other possible terms in fiction is someone who uses or practices magic Moon Fairies and their Beat Pixie minions are detailed in Sugar and Vice, the second Fairy Meat supplement. Pixies (also Piskies and Pigsies as they are sometimes known in Cornwall) are mythical creatures of Folklore, considered to be particularly concentrated
Beat Pixies: Obnoxious things, Beat Pixies are possessed by a natural rhythm, which afflicts them with a kind of hyper-activity. Once they start moving, they can't stop! In Moon Fairy society, Beat Pixies are drummers and front-line warriors, when they aren't dancing crazily in the Mosh Pits. Moshing or slamming refers to the activity in which audience members at live music performances aggressively push or slam into each other
Wicked Things: This title is used to refer to the various types of fairy 'converted' by black witches. Wicked Things consist of Bitter Fairies, who then progress to Gloom Fairies and then to Doom Fairies, the berserk Blood Fairies, devilish Cricken, the filthy and disease-loving Leperchauns (as in leperous Leprechauns), and Night Fairies, which are converted Glitter Fairies who now use all manner of cheesy incantations when they use their magic. Wicked Things are detailed in the sourcebook of the same name, the third supplement to Fairy Meat.
