The Fairy Lord embarked on one of his usual quests, in one of his many disguises, during which he routinely checked on fairy functions and took care of problems within the realm. The Dream Librarian documented those natural events. Initially, they did just that under the Fairy Lord's guidance and watchful eye. Their specialties and assigned duties were to watch over natural forces, such as wind and fire, tides and growth, and all matters plant-related. Once they infiltrated the Mortal World, fairies put their hands into everything. Few have gone out into the mortal world to live as mortals, and those who have are generally shunned. Fairies have inbred for centuries, due to their system of arranged marriages. Anywho do enter cannot be allowed to leave, lest they divulge fairy information or history. They still return to meditate upon their fairy origins. Finally, after seeing a sign from the heavens, the fairies left the Ancients' Place. With their sudden exodus, they left behind many structures that now help others understand the Way of the Ancient Fairies. That was when some fairies assumed control over the dreams of mortals. The fairies took that as a sign that it was time to leave the Ancients' Place and spread out all over the world to run the realm in the ways they had determined. Three stars aligned in the heavens and then fell from the sky. Many years after the creation of the fairies there was another spectacular astrological event. New works and observations are created constantly. These volumes were overseen by the Dream Librarian, who has later editions of the same volumes deep in the bowels of the Dream Library. The first fairies used the Print Stones Machine to create the first volumes of fairy knowledge and history. The Fairy Lord directed everything and selected a Dream Librarian to record everything the fairies did, said, and decided. There, they created a hierarchy, assigning each fairy to an area of the earth: some to the oceans, some to the air, some to weather, and some to dreams. This occurred at the Ancients' Place, where fairies have since lived for thousands of years. Long ago, the first fairies were created from mortals when a meteor collided with a field of magic crystals.
Those secrets also reveal how the story in the first Dream Chronicles begins.
