Ng (Ing)

The Hooded, Arch-Fey

For more information on all Arch-Fey, see: Arch-Fey

Ng the Hooded is a particularly mysterious member of the Arch-Fey: divine fey creatures of tremendous power said to be able to reshape the very fabric of Faerûn on a whim. He is considered to be the herald of either a distant god or of the plane of Faerûn itself. Few know anything about Ng's true nature, leading to many potentially conflicting theories: that Ng might be the ghost of a lost Arch-Fey, an automaton, a servant of the Palace of Seasons, a herald of an absent deity, or the voice of a sentient Faerûn or plane-spanning consciousness. Ng refuses to confirm or dispute any interpretation of his origin, history, or role among the Arch-Fey.

Physical Description

Cloaked in secrecy, even the one visible part of his body—his gloves—is shrouded in mystery, with some maintaining the gloves hide clockwork mechanisms. His facial features are a true mystery. The only sign of his gender is his dispassionate voice, and he leaves no trail of footprints, only a trail of robes.

Divine Realm

Ng has no permanent dwelling in Faerûn, ever traveling and never resting.

Tenets of Faith

• Travel, and never rest your head in the same place twice in a row.


• Hide your identity and your motives. Wear nothing on your sleeve.


• Observe the shifting of the seasons. Embrace change.

Worshipers

Ng's followers faithfully worship him despite his exceedingly rare acknowledgement of them, leading some to question whether Ng is responsible for their divine magic. None of his followers know what Ng's plans or ends are. Those who venerate him take their roles as travelers seriously, in contrast to Avandra's more carefree wanderers. Ng's temples are often based around crossroads, weathered stones, and trees in the middle of changing their colors.

Contacts & Relations

Arch-Fey

Ng interacts with others through cold logic, strange questions, and cryptic statements. He is known to travel and converse with Sehanine, with whom he shares much in common. He also is welcome in the Lost Prince's Crumbling Tower, and receives Ragadahn's invitations to research esoteric lore. None of the Arch-Fey turn Ng away, though the rest of them remain wary of his inscrutable nature.
