geekyI will make five blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the five that I think are the most interesting/fun/relevant, and will detail them to my heart's content. There's a lot to learn and know, and asking loses you nothing.
Leave your questions on this post. I'm declaring comment-reply amnesty for any that I choose not to answer this time, since otherwise, my wee head may explode.
Game on!
ETA: Things covered last two times we did this: inheritance, fosterage, madness, historical records, Cait Sidhe court structure, the Changeling's Choice, locational biology, where fae races come from, shapeshifters, and merlins.

I'm particularly interested by the use of what seems to be Irish for some of the race names - daoine sidhe, dochas sidhe, etc. (I admit to be slightly bugged by the singular of daoine sidhe being daoine sidhe but I keep telling myself that Fae =/= Irish).

What should the singular be? Curious cat is curious!

"Daoine" means people (at least in modern Irish), so the singular would be "duine" (person), but "fae pronunciation and grammar is a little...questionable." as a reason leaves me at least perfectly happy.
What I did find interesting in that regard is that the German translation had "duine sidhe" as the singular.
