Swirls[edit]
The origins of the Fey Swirls is unclear. Fey society is an incomprehensible collage of conflicting loyalties, shifting allegiances, interrelated races and creatures of immense power with unknown goals. That Amber has one set of Fey and Chaos another, with all shadow between them filled with Fey influences, the 'Fey Swirls have bridged many divides.
Fey join in societies called Swirls. There is no set standard for leaders of these swirls, nor for terms of loyalty or duties. There is no required connection to various Fey courts or ranks. In fact there is no clear idea what matters to any particular Swirl at all. What is known is that a Swirl comprises many members of most of the races. There are 7 generally known ranks or titles amongst the Swirls though some Swirls have many more. What relationship they have to each other is unknown.
Membership in the Fey swirls is not limited to 'fey' races. Elves are frequently members of the swirls. Dwarves and humans have been known to be members as well. Animal kings and their courts are almost always closely associated to the Fey Swirls. The Skylords also maintain contacts in the swirls on an individual basis. Most surprising is that even Orcind have been known to have been befriended by the swirls.
