We live in a universe where the laws are set in stone, nothing special happens if I believe in something... Yet not all universes work as such. In a close neighbour to our own it is belief that defines the fundamental nature of reality, and in that universe there is a world formed from our own beliefs they call it Faerie.
Faerie is the home of all our fantasies, dreams, nightmares and faiths, from all of human history. They are borne into Faerie and then can themselves believe and reshape their world. Faerie itself is sundered into 9 ideologies. Spirits of nature, beasts and plants live in the Seasons, spirits of justice and holiness live in the Temple, spirits of wrath, punishment and condemnation live in the Torment, spirits of madness and formlessness live in the Void, spirits of greed and magnificence live in the Rune, spirits of death and unlife live in the Crypt, spirits of law and machination live in the Enigma, spirits of brutality and conflict live in the Waste, and spirits of essentialism and purity live in the Forge. There also exists the Crucible, the realm for things beyond the ideologies, and the battlegrounds on which ideologies clash.
All creatures native to Faerie are fae, some fae lack 'sentience' their existence is only in the minds of other thinking creatures and as such are called figments. Those fae endowed with sentience are split into the folk and the gentry as a measure of their power. A strange distinction between gentry and and folk is that the gentry are more bound to belief, they can reshape the world with greater ease but at the same the the world defines them more. The gentry only speak true words, either they reflect how the world is, reshape the worlds or are an oath to ensure the world occupies that state.
You are not from Faerie though, you have been stolen away from your home here and now on earth. Stolen into a world of unreliable rules and surrounded by what you considered to be mere takes and myths. Your only strength is that only your belief shapes your path, and reformed the world about you.
