Research Notes: The Hob and the Brownie
House elves come in many different forms. The most common and benevolent here is the hob or the brownie. Part of the ‘Little People’, House Elves assist in running and cleaning the house in exchange for eating the food left out by the family it’s connected to. Brownie’s appear as small humanoid creatures, covered in hair/fur while Hobs have more animal like features and could be mistaken for rats or kittens in the wrong light. If the hob or brownie is hurt or poisoned in any way, misfortune befalls the house and the elf curses any food that comes into it. It’s important to care for the house elf so giving it bland but well cooked food along with nutmeg or cinnamon will help the hob/brownie on the way to good health and will be back to helping around the house once again. Once known as house deities, it’s important to show them you care and appreciate them.
'The Only Thing That Is Constant Is Change' - Heraclitus
The Libraries have served their purposes for the people involved in researching and combating the Fae in this world. Now, they lie unused as those concerned have had the knowledge contained in these books passed from one generation to the next and everyone has lived in blissful security for centuries.
Now the Fae have started to change. Small but terrible incidents have started to take place and the systems that have been set in stone for so long have started to crumble in the face of something new and frightening.
Having recently inherited one of these Libraries, Salem Gascoigne intends to undertake new and brave research, documenting these odd Fae instances in hopes of understanding what is really happening to the strange creatures in this world and why they seem to be targeting humans.
With the help of an assistant (who my be less than human) the two set out on this research mission and get themselves tangled up in something bigger than they bargained for.
