Titania (AoC Universe)

Titania (honorifically referred to as Fae Queen Titania) is a character in the Aeon of the Champion story series, ruler of Prismdale and racial leader of all the faes in the common universe as well as member of the Goodwillow Council.

As the Fairy Queen Titania's chief function was that of a spiritual guide, embodying the principles of benevolent intervention as laid out by the Godmother, a deity revered by all fairies in the common universe. She had been personally chosen by the goddess to lead the faes on their spiritual journey. Under her rule the faes travelled to many different worlds, helping to order them and bring life to their most deprived parts. They were rarely seen when they passed by a planet, as Titania ensured they remained in the background, but it is believed that at least half of the planets of the Great Unknown were visited by the mystical race. As the process of ordering and blessing continued, Titania grew closer and closer to the goddess; serving her a little more expediently with each passing day. Sometimes, Titania would be absent from Fluttervale for several days at a time, as she communicated with the goddess in unknown and mystical tongues.

To help her with the ordering process while she tended to religious duties, her Lord Councillor, Falan, suggested promoting some of the most loyal and hard-working fairies to rank higher than Fairy First Class. The idea pleased Titania, who had been looking for a way to reward the goddess' most fervent followers. Thus, the Fairy Princesses were created, and Titania promoted the first five - Rhoda, Sapphira, Tyrina, Virdine and Citri - in a public ceremony at Fluttevale Proper. The next two - Nivian and Melano (daughter of Falan) - were promoted several years later. They served as beacons of leadership while Titania was absent from the kingdom, and became kingdom icons in their own right.

Titania also allied herself with the unicorns of High Faerun, after they helped to defend Elmhurst from King Jamal and his leonin invaders. A tether between Prismdale and Middle-Earth has existed ever since, as a reminder of their eternal friendship.
