			=Orisons=

			Most Orisons of Ceadra are Cantors from the Eleventh Court. However, some mortals do make Pacts with the First Queen. In fact, mortal Orisons of Ceadra are among the most common of mortal Fey Orisons. Typically they are artists, mathematicians, and especially musicians who have an erratic genius and a desire to understand the rules, even if that means breaking them. Her most notable Orisons are listed below:

			* The Aletheian: Elf, Pelithos, Dawn Age, Alive. Composer infamous for never completing a piece, constantly being fired by patron after patron, only for chroniclers to later discover that the pieces were in fact complete, their completion could just never be perceived by the listener. Now he is infamous for other reasons, it seems the ending of his scores were not the only thing that audiences forgot, and his name is cursed.
			* Kirexsi of the Bloody Strings: Lascivian, Acrolon, Dark Age, Deceased. Performer famous for composing and performing playing excruciatingly long pieces that could last for days. No one who attended his magnum opus was ever seen again.
			* Jianyu Wei: Orc, Tonwei Unchained, Dawn Age, Deceased. Minimalist composer who opened relations between the Fey Courts and the [[Heavenly Empress]].
			* Samaithe of the Shallow Grave: Human, Vashad, Dark Age, Deceased. Composer who could cause the dead to sing in harmony with her melodies. Used this to invoke (or rewrite) ancient stories of cultures lost during [[The Fall]].
			* Laibhan the War Conductor: Cantor, Arcadia, Dark Age, Deceased. A composer that sought to conduct battlefields like orchestras. Travelled many mortal realms to influence battles before finally being struck down, his Fey soul fading into memory.
			* Glassbreaker: Sidhe, Arcadia, Dawn Age, Alive. Singer whose voice can shattered illusions, fracture dreams, and destabilize minds.

	* The Keening Women: Ceadra and the Keening Women are bound by long and complex history, going all the way back to the [[Zero Year]]. Ceadra being the founder of the coven the Keening Women being the coven who now refuse the genealogy that connects them. In public, the Keening Women treat Ceadra as a powerful figure, formally respectful, carefully distant, and unwavering in their insistence that she was never one of them. Beneath that composure lies fear. Of all beings in existence, they alone grasp the true extent of Ceadra’s power, and they are bound by ancient coven oaths to never speak of it. Their fixation on threefold structures and cardinality is not only philosophy, but armor, a way to deny the missing fourth that once anchored them. Ceadra's departure forever warped the Keening Women's feelings of security and promise. Ceadra understands this completely. She regards her former coven with affection, regret, and absolute clarity, accepting both their denial and their hostility as inevitable consequences of growth. She does not challenge their lies, knowing that their fear is proof of what she became, and that their hatred is, in its way, a final acknowledgment of her supremacy.		* The Keening Women: Ceadra and the Keening Women are bound by long and complex history, going all the way back to the [[Zero Year]].

	* The Lady of the Web: Ceadra and the Bright aspect of Lolth share a quiet, mutual recognition of guilt over collaborative cosmic transgressions neither fully regrets nor fully forgives. Each knows the other has committed an unforgivable acts against the structure of meaning itself, Ceadra by revealing the path to Fey Godhood and developing the secrets of [[Denial]], Lolth, largely aided by Ceadra's ancient tutelage, by developing the arts to split Strange Essence into Bright and Bleak inflections, and honing Denial into [[Erasure]]. Their interactions are restrained, extremely courteous, and shaped by the understanding that they are accomplices to a crime so vast it fractured Strange reality itself. Neither seeks absolution from the other, but both recognize that if judgment ever came, it would have to come from outside their Strange universe.		* The Lady of the Web: Ceadra and the Bright aspect of Lolth share a quiet, mutual recognition of guilt over collaborative cosmic transgressions neither fully regrets nor fully forgives.

			* The Never Queen and Promised King: Ceadra and the toxic couple maintain a relationship of formal distance and careful restraint. Simply, the two are intimidated by Ceadra. Morrigan distrusts Ceadra’s calm certainty and suspects that her genius hides unacceptable inevitabilities, while Finvarra finds her intolerably precise, as though she already knows how his story ends. Meanwhile, Ceadra is deeply unsettled by the violation of sequence that Morrigan and Finvarra's philosophy proposes, possibly the only real threat to her own.
	* The Porcelain Queen and Grey King: Ceadra and the Lower Bone Court share a sincere and affectionate friendship, rooted in long familiarity and mutual respect. Rhiannon and Arawn love her music deeply and, in moments they rarely admit aloud, wish it would never end. This desire shames them, for it contradicts everything they teach about meaning arising from endings, and they fear that indulging it could one day undermine their Court’s philosophy.		* The Porcelain Queen and Grey King: Ceadra and the Lower Bone Court share a sincere and affectionate friendship, rooted in long familiarity and mutual respect.

Ceadra truly cherishes Aisling's insights into the nature of meaning, though her friendship is tinged with condescension and pity that can be difficult for her to hide, while Aisling finds a rare form of escape into some of Ceadra's melodies, the closest she has found to transcendence without oblivion.		* The Sleeping Queen: Ceadra and Aisling share one of the more unlikely friendships among the Fey Gods.

	* The Bitter Queen: Ceadra and Maeve share a quiet, secretive romantic relationship conducted almost entirely in seclusion, far from their Courts and observers. Their bond is intense but narrow: long conversations, shared confidences, and carefully bounded intimacy that never spills into public allegiance. Both seem to prefer it this way, Maeve because secrecy sharpens desire, and Ceadra because the relationship occupies a precisely contained space in her otherwise boundless life.		* The Bitter Queen: Ceadra and Maeve share a quiet, secretive romantic relationship conducted almost entirely in seclusion, far from their Courts and observers.

	* The Bloated King: Ceadra and Mammon share a long-standing and fading partnership built on mutual utility. Mammon patronaged the construction of Ceadra's Grand Harmonic Engine, correctly assuming that it would give him great influence over her. But Ceadra has tirelessly helped Mammon calculate the value of his hoard for centuries, so now the partnership is drawing to a close, much to Ceadra's relief and Mammon's panic.		* The Bloated King: Ceadra and Mammon share a long-standing and fading partnership built on mutual utility.

			* The Cake Queen and Candy King: Ceadra and the Sweet Couple maintain a warm, openly cordial friendship, rooted in mutual respect and a shared love of creation, music, and carefully constructed joy. Siucran is attentive and generous in her presence, laughing easily, crafting freely, and never giving any outward sign of strain, while Milseach treats Ceadra as a welcome and honored guest. Privately, Siucran carries a terrible secret Seans entrusted to him before his Erasure: knowledge of Ceadra’s involvement in the deepest arts of Strange dissolution. He knows he should not know, fears what discovery would mean, and pours that fear into sweetness, hospitality, and excess creation, as if joy itself might keep the secret buried.
	* The Cartographer Queen and Hearth King: Ceadra and Neasa–Nuada share a cordial, competitive relationship built on mutual respect and persistent irritation. Neasa and Nuada admire Ceadra’s unmatched intellect and foundational role in Strange thought, while quietly resenting how often her insights outpace their careful structures and preserved histories. Ceadra, for her part, treats them as capable stewards whose conservatism frustrates her even as it reassures her that Arcadia will not unravel in her absence.		* The Cartographer Queen and Hearth King: Ceadra and Neasa–Nuada share a cordial, competitive relationship built on mutual respect and persistent irritation.

Ceadra's departure forever warped the Keening Women's feelings of security and promise. Ceadra understands this completely. She regards her former coven with affection, regret, and absolute clarity, accepting both their denial and their hostility as inevitable consequences of growth. She does not challenge their lies, knowing that their fear is proof of what she became, and that their hatred is, in its way, a final acknowledgment of her supremacy.		* The Keening Women: Ceadra and the Keening Women are bound by long and complex history, going all the way back to the [[Zero Year]].

Among Cantors, archivists, and certain Arcadian scholars, there persists an uncomfortable belief that Caedra does not predict the future, she calculates it after it has already been decided, even if no one else can yet perceive the commitment.

	The most common apocrypha claim that Caedra can identify moments where causation has passed a point of no return: places where, regardless of choice, the outcome is fixed because the sequence has already been arranged. In these stories, her interventions are never dramatic. She does not stop wars or avert disasters directly. Instead, she alters something insignificant, a missing note in a composition, a delayed meeting, a misplaced record, and allows the rest to unfold.

	* The Keening Women: Ceadra and the Keening Women are bound by long and complex history, going all the way back to the [[Zero Year]]. Ceadra being the founder of the coven the Keening Women being the coven who now refuse the genealogy that connects them. In public, the Keening Women treat Ceadra as a powerful figure, formally respectful, carefully distant, and unwavering in their insistence that she was never one of them. Beneath that composure lies fear. Of all beings in existence, they alone grasp the true extent of Ceadra’s power, and they are bound by ancient coven oaths to never speak of it. Their fixation on threefold structures and cardinality is not only philosophy, but armor, a way to deny the missing fourth that once anchored them. Ceadra's departure forever warped the Keening Women's feelings of security and promise. Ceadra understands this completely. She regards her former coven with affection, regret, and absolute clarity, accepting both their denial and their hostility as inevitable consequences of growth. She does not challenge their lies, knowing that their fear is proof of what she became, and that their hatred is, in its way, a final acknowledgment of her supremacy.		* The Keening Women: Ceadra and the Keening Women are bound by long and complex history, going all the way back to the [[Zero Year]].

			* The Lady of the Web: Ceadra and the Bright aspect of Lolth share a quiet, mutual recognition of guilt over collaborative cosmic transgressions neither fully regrets nor fully forgives. Each knows the other has committed an unforgivable acts against the structure of meaning itself, Ceadra by revealing the path to Fey Godhood and developing the secrets of [[Denial]], Lolth, largely aided by Ceadra's ancient tutelage, by developing the arts to split Strange Essence into Bright and Bleak inflections, and honing Denial into [[Erasure]]. Their interactions are restrained, extremely courteous, and shaped by the understanding that they are accomplices to a crime so vast it fractured Strange reality itself. Neither seeks absolution from the other, but both recognize that if judgment ever came, it would have to come from outside their Strange universe.
	* The Sleeping Queen: Ceadra and Aisling share one of the more unlikely friendships among the Fey Gods. Ceadra truly cherishes Aisling's insights into the nature of meaning, though her friendship is tinged with condescension and pity that can be difficult for her to hide, while Aisling finds a rare form of escape into some of Ceadra's melodies, the closest she has found to transcendence without oblivion.		* The Sleeping Queen: Ceadra and Aisling share one of the more unlikely friendships among the Fey Gods.

	* The Thespian Queen: Cealgran and Caedra have a secret, conspiratorial relationship built on a shared appreciation for elegant transgressions. They occasionally collaborate on elaborate crimes against other Courts, sometimes simply to see if they can be done. Neither fully trusts the other, but both delight in the mutual recognition of a fellow rule-breaker who knows exactly where the rules are.		* The Thespian Queen: Cealgran and Caedra have a secret, conspiratorial relationship built on a shared appreciation for elegant transgressions.

	* The Wayward King: Lugh and Caedra are distant and polite acquaintances, keeping each other at arm's length. Caedra is mildly intrigued by Lugh, and the way he relies upon music for his obsession with dance. Lugh vaguely senses Caedra's deep genius and curiosity about him, and doesn't like how well she seems to understand his movements before he even makes them.		* The Wayward King: Lugh and Caedra are distant and polite acquaintances, keeping each other at arm's length.

	* The Bitter Queen: Ceadra and Maeve share a quiet, secretive romantic relationship conducted almost entirely in seclusion, far from their Courts and observers. Their bond is intense but narrow: long conversations, shared confidences, and carefully bounded intimacy that never spills into public allegiance. Both seem to prefer it this ~~way—Maeve~~ because secrecy sharpens desire, and Ceadra because the relationship occupies a precisely contained space in her otherwise boundless life.		* The Bitter Queen: Ceadra and Maeve share a quiet, secretive romantic relationship conducted almost entirely in seclusion, far from their Courts and observers.

	* The Bloated King: Ceadra and Mammon share a long-standing and fading partnership built on mutual utility.
