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!

I've been wondering about the "lost" lands of Faerie (presumably autumn, winter, and spring, assuming their existence is still canon). I was going to ask what happened to them, but figured the answer would just be "they disappeared". So instead, here's my question:

Are all the fae races we've seen native to the summerlands, or were they forced to move to the summerlands when their homelands disappeared? Like, were trolls originally from the winterlands or whatever? And if so, is there an elemental association with the native land (i.e. summer=land, winter=water, etc)?

Ashes of Honor contains all the information on these topics that we are likely to get at this point. It also answers your question: All of the /fae/ were /presumably/ evacuated to the Summerlands prior to the doors being closed to the deeper lands -- which most certainly still exist, they are just inaccessible (without dire consequences) at the current time. There doesn't seem to be any elemental association with the deeper lands, although we only get details on one.
