--- Quote from: fillmoreb on January 06, 2022, 07:13:15 PM ---Personally, I never thought of Redcap as a separate species of Fae. I believe the Redcap is just a fairly high ranking Sidhe, and his changeling offspring would just become a standard Sidhe. I view the whole Redcap thing as an affectation of his. He dips his hat in blood to terrify people, and goes by the name Redcap. I know this doesn't jive with the real world mythology of Redcaps, but I think Jim just took some poetic license on that.

Actually it does, the Dutch Redcaps have a different origin story, but like the Leansidhe and Jenny Greenteeth and most of the Winter Court this Redcap is likely to hail from Ireland, Scotland and Northern England.

Maeve's/Sarissa's father was an Austrian composer in the 17th-18th centuries, per WOJ. Mab's got a thing for musicians, seems.
Rashid slew the Mad Arab, pre 800AD.
He's older, objective time.
I believe you can roughly sketch out handovers of the Outer Gate guardianship. 0AD- Greek Pantheon to Norse Pantheon. 1000 AD, Norse Pantheon to up-powered Fae. 1000 BC- I suspect Dragons to the Greeks. Or perhaps Titans to the Greeks.
Unless it's matter of the 666 year cycle.
Also, Gard referred to her father as "the Geat"- Beowulf. She's 600-700AD for birth. Thought: Beowulf as a Starborn?
River- they crossed the ice to flee Beowulf and his people seeking vengeance for Grendel. Post 600AD.
Conspiracy Theorist:
All the Fae love human music. Except Polka.
Didn’t Vadderung admit he was also Beowulf? Odin killed a dragon, and St Nicholas/Kringle banished dragons, no wonder Ferrovax and he have staring matches, and this is one reason why I think Michael is a candidate for the Kringle Mantle when Odin dies at Ragnarok, as another dragonslayer. I have a whole conspiracy theory on that and other points why I think that is going to happen)
River is older, he walked to North America from Russia during the last ice age when he was a child, suggesting the Bigfeet predate human settlement of North America. The Bering Ice Bridge i thought to have occurred 20,000 years ago. River is having his midlife crisis now with his son so that posits a lifespan of at least 40,000 years , so as a child he could have been about 5,000 years old at the point, so he could be 25,000 years old. They probably were fleeing man, rather than a Man.
Grendel would be a relative cast out from the migration who survived to more modern times.

This may sound sound petty because of all the work you have done, but Murphy was older than Harry

Corrected thanks. Can't believe I forgot about that.

Ah true I had him at the Crusades.

Actually she denied that, jokingly referring to him as saying. 'He does like us to call him "Daddy"

See the problem? Different theories from the same information.
