Question time! Because Toby trivia is fun.

It's been a while since we've done this, and with A Red-Rose Chain coming up, I figure it's time to once again offer to answer your questions about the world. So...

I will make ten blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the questions 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. Remember that nothing I answer here is full canon until it appears in a book: I will always reserve the right to change things if the series shifts between now and then.

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!

the mortal world

The readers are given glimpses as to why the mortal world rarely if ever has cause to investigate the fae. It also seems obvious that that the stronger fae have an almost compulsion to rule and their demenes and the Summerlands hold more sway to them especially the powerful. You haven't touched on any fae trying to rule humans though, there seems to be a proscription against it but we never find out if it's something passed down or history speaking. My question becomes did the most powerful fae when they discovered earth and humanity try and rule humanity or have they always stood apart somewhat because of the draw of their other realms and or did they view humans as insects and not worth their attention?

If that can't be answered I have another question that touches on this one. We know the fae nature allows them to open ways to other realms and that it appears Oberon Maeve and Mab came from a different place than earth. It is implied they were adventurers and discovered humanity and the mortal world and even discovered that they could breed with us. I have to wonder if the presence of humanity made any sort of impact that acted as a barrier or magnet that drew the attention to our world?
