Notes:[edit]

  • Located at Witchfire Glen.
  • As these do not cast Cure on players when low on HP, they DO NOT count towards Pixie hate.
  • Sidhe will also cast Haste, Aquaveil, Blink, Protect II, Shell II, Stoneskin and Regen III on themselves.
  • While Grauberg (S) is under the control of the Allied Nations, Sidhe will use TP moves and follow normal outdoor respawn rules. While Grauberg is under Beastmen control, Sidhe will use no TP moves, and will respawn in one hour.

Historical Background[edit]

In Irish mythology, the Sidhe (properly spelled Sídhe) refers to both fairy mounds or hills in which fairies live and the fairy people which reside in those hills (thus, sidhe is the term for both the place and the people that inhabit that place). The Scottish mythology equivalent of the sidhe, the sith, only refers to the fairy people and lacks the geographic component. These fairy people were supernatural humanoid beings that often (but not always) appeared fair of skin and very attractive and often had magical powers or abilities. Sidhe is pronounced “shee” and means “people of the fairy mounds” and “fairy” (sith means “fairy”).

Those mounds or hollow hills in which they resided are tumuli, burial mounds, or barrows and are hollow earthen structures covered by dirt and grass (and later trees if in wooded areas) which are used to bury the dead in certain cultures. Burying the dead in this manner was common in the British Isles from around 3000-800 BCE.

Examples: Banshee, Baobhan Sith, Leanan Sidhe, Cait Sith, Cu Sith, Daoine Sidhe, Du-Sith.
