Line 42:
** Sometimes steel is named instead of iron, which is, of course, the coplete opposite of cold iron.
* [[Can Not Tell a Lie]] - Sometimes. Note that they ''will'' exploit and [[Ambiguous Syntax|twist]] this for all manner of deception, but a trickster hero can take advantage of this.
** [[I Gave My Word]]: A related note, often the Fair Folk ''must'' keep their word once they give it. Again they might exploit a loophole. For example, a favorite trick is for them to lead a mortal to a tree with the insinuation that there's a buried treasure under it; said mortal realizes he needs to go get a shovel, but also realizes he'd neve find the tree again if he leaves. So he decides o mark the tree with a ribbon tied to a branch and then get them to promise not to remove it. But when he comes back, he finds ''every'' tree in the forest to has a similar ribbon on it. They never said they wuldn't do ''that''.
* [[Magically-Binding Contract]] - Related to the above. Any deal with the Fair Folk ''will'' be upheld from their end, though they tend to respect only the [[Exact Words|letter]] of any deal they make. God help you if you fail your end of a deal. (God help you even if you don't!)
* [[Pride]] - That bit up there about how they demand to be called the "fair" folk? They're ''all'' like that. To a one, they are proud creatures, concerned primarily with their own grand schemes.
