Swirls
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.

Fey Loyalties are amongst the most incomprehensible part of understanding the Fey. One must keep in mind that they have loyalties, which they are fanatically strict about, but that they change frequently. Humans have complained that it is not Loyalty if it changes so rapidly. Elves complain that the fey have far too many overlapping levels of loyalty. Dwarves complain that the fey have no leadership and no loyalties at all. Orcind complain that the fey are difficult to catch and eat, although they are well worth the effort and taste good raw.
Much of the social activities revolve around the Rath or hall of particular fey. Hospitality is nearly a religion to the fey and the Rath is the place hospitality is worshipped. A generous fey will adorn a hall and other fey will visit it. Where these are built varies widely. Rath loyalty depends on the ability of the Rathskall or holder of the Hall to entertain his guests. Combat and Consequence Fey join swirls for several combat related reasons. If a swirl is victorious in battle or receives combat acclaim then fey of that inclination may join. Pleasure Some swirls are sensualist and hedonists, being loyal to those who share their pleasures. Also Rath loyalties fall under this heading. Raths being places of celebration and entertainment. Tutorial Some swirls exchange service for instruction in various forms of skills: magical, combative, intellectual, artistic. They then may remain loyal to their instructors. Elven Influences Some joins swirls at the request of the Elven Council or individual elves. Racial Some join swirls comprised of compatible or complementary races. Submission Defeated fey may join the victorious swirl as conditions of surrender or submission. This relates to single combats up to swirl conflicts. Prejudice Some join swirls who espouse hatred for other races or swirls. Obscure Motives Simply that. Gambling debts. Colors of clothes. Ancient prophesies
