The Revenge of Fafnir

The revenge of Fafnir is Fae history adapted into a stage play by Ptelea Amaryllis. It tells the story of King Fafnir of Andvaranut, who was cursed by Titania, queen of the Feywild for meddling in the affairs of the Elves. Her curse transformed him into a monster resembling the enemy of his people. Unaware of his transformation, and hearing a monstrous roar from his quarters, those closest to him went to investigate. Finding a monster where their leader once rested, they raised arms against it. Shocked and confused as the monstrous bloodlust clouded his mind, the cursed King retaliated, slaying his friends and family with his own claws. When he awoke from this fog, he was horrified by what he had done, weeping and cradling the bodies he had torn through. He swore revenge on the Queen of the Fae. Weeks passed as he acquired interplanar travel and weapons that could fell gods, his rage persisting all the while. He teleported himself into the castle of the Fae Queen and snuck into her chambers. With a mighty roar, he struck her down, fatally tearing through her with his claws. Before he could finish her off though, Queen Titania used the last of her strength to banish the twisted King from her realm, barring all travel to the Feywild, and chaining him to his precious capital city. She then fell into a deep restorative sleep, where she spent the next 480 years recovering.

The play wraps up with Titania resting in her chambers in a deep coma.

He sought means to thwart oppression long past

Chasing magics breadth, both grim and fairer

Anger encased the elves, his fa
