In the faery world, all faeries are split into 12 known elements. The faeries live mixed but, once they connect with an element, they live as close to the element as they can get. For example, an Earth Faery may live in the bottom of trees, in caves, or even underground. But an Air or Storm Faery may build a house in the tops of the trees to be closer to the sky. A Fire Faery may live near a volcanic area. But Water and Ice faeries live near bodies of water, no matter how big or small. A Light Faery will live in a clearing with a lot of direct sunlight. But a Shadow Faery will live in the darkest part of the forest. A spirit guide chooses an animal faery, and that Faery will live with it's guide. Jewelry Faeries live near mines and mountains. Non-Specific Faeries live in town where they learn to be a Faery until an element chooses them.
The Faery World is also inhabited by other creatures. Witches and Warlocks are spread throughout the land. Contrary to popular belief, not all of them are evil. But in some cases the extreme amount of power is corrupted which then corrupts the person wielding the power.
Every elemental faery gathers once a decade with others of their element. This meeting is overseen by the High Faery King, Zordon. Two faeries from every element is chosen by the King to join his council, where they debate on all laws for the Faery Folk. The faeries lived this way, in peace and harmony, and untouched by the outside world, for well over a millennia.
This was so, until a thousand years ago, when King Zordon decided to open the gates of the Faery World, so that Faeries and Humans could live side by side. Very few humans were trusted with the secret of the Faery Folk, but, still, rumors spread of a race more advanced and powerful then the humans. In response to this rumor, Faery Hunters were trained to catch intruders to the human world.
By this time, the faery blood had been spread among the humans. Children born between a Faery and Human were raised as humans until their 18th birthday. On this day, they were told of their heritage and given 6 months to prepare. After 6 months, or whenever they seemed ready, they were sent to the Faery World to stand before King Zordon.
If King Zordon deems them worthy, they are given a Faery Guide. The Faery Guide and the pupil were sent on a quest for their element. Once an element has chosen them, they return to King Zordon who then decides on a trainer to teach them the arts of their element. Once they can control their element, the King will allow them to leave the Faery World. This gives them access to the Faery World whenever they wish to visit.
If King Zordon does not deem them worthy, they are kept in town for a full year, where they train to go on the quest. After the year is up, they will once again stand before King Zordon to be judged again. This routine will repeat until they go on their Faery Quest. During this time they are called Fae.
Children born in the Faery World go through training from birth. When they reach any age between 14 and 16, they are judged by King Zordon and sent on their quest if worthy.
Occasionally a Faery will be sent on a quest early because their powers start to develop early or it is necessary to send them on a quest. These instances are few and far between but it is known to happen.
