While the two cultures may be very distinct, the Cinneadh and Rynnish both share a similar belief in their Fey. Many of the Fey of these areas are extremely mysterious and only show themselves to specific individuals. The Fey of these areas also seem to be more delighted in trickery and pranks on mortals than elsewhere on Serrus.
Boggart
In folklore, a Boggart is a household spirit which causes things to disappear, milk to sour, and dogs to go lame. Always malevolent, the Boggart will follow its family wherever they flee. In Rynland, at least, there is the belief that the Boggart should never be named, for when the Boggart was given a name, it cannot be reasoned with or persuaded and become uncontrollable and destructive.
It is said that the Boggart crawls into people's beds at night and puts a clammy hand on their faces. Sometimes he strips the bed sheets off them. Sometimes a Boggart will also pull
on a person's ears. Hanging a horseshoe on the door of a house is said to keep a Boggart away.
Brownie
Customarily brownies are said to inhabit houses and aid in tasks around the house. However, they do not like to be seen and will only work at night, traditionally in exchange for small gifts or food. They take quite a delight in porridge. They usually abandon the house if their gifts are called payments, or if the owners of the house misuse them. Then they turn into Boggarts. Brownies make their homes in an unused part of the house. They were also known as the guardians of dragons.
Brownies have a slightly different approach in Rynland. It is said that they are woodland spirits who help hunters and woodsmen find their way. If angered, they can lead a traveler astray for days, weeks, or even months. This has led to most Rynnish to always leave a portion of meat from a hunt or a sprig from a tree when felled out for the Brownies to appease them.
Bean Sí
According to legend, a Bean Sí wails around a house if someone in the house is about to die. Bean Sí are frequently described as dressed in white or grey, and often having long, fair hair which they brush with a silver comb. This comb detail is also related to the centuries-old traditional romantic Cinneadh story that, if you ever see a comb lying on the ground, you must never pick it up, or the Bean Sí, having placed it there to lure unsuspecting humans, will spirit such gullible humans away. Other stories portray Bean Sí as dressed in green, red or black with a grey cloak. Often times, they are seen as old women washing blood stained clothes by a shore.
