Light Fae

The Light Fae is one of the two factions into which Fae are divided, the other being the Dark Fae.

Members of the Light Fae may eat humans but they tend to do so only for food, not sport. Otherwise they seek to protect the humans if they can. Many of them are generous and caring, but a lot of them are also self-righteous and arrogant, seeing themselves as better, purer than the Dark Fae. They often practice restraint and control with their powers and have rigid rules when it comes to feeding on humans, as extensive programs designed to help Light Fae clean up after their feeds whether it's with memory wipes or through body disposal. Essentially, what sets the Light Fae apart from the Dark is instead of using their resources purely for personal gain regardless of the consequences to those around them, they tend to consolidate their resources and use them for the betterment of the Light Fae and humans. Though fae still take precedence

Like the Dark Fae, Light Fae politics operate on a complex heirarchy comprised mostly of officials, leaders, and elders. However, the Dark Fae are much more democratic with their separation of powers.

Councils of Elders
Throughout the world, there are far more councils than the Dark Fae– where the Dark have thirteen, the Light almost one hundred. Even the numbers of Elders in each council varies. Elders are also allowed to have personal lives and intimate relationships. They live more liberated lives than the tight securities of the Dark.

The purpose of the of councils is to work with the dark fae councils to maintain the peace between the Light and Dark and keep faedom secret from humanity, but they also actively attempt to bridge the Divide, though their efforts are often weak and misguided, causing more damage than good.

Leaders
Leaders include political officials who rule over a local area, like a governor. Unlike the Dark Fae there is not a divide between regional leaders and the councils. Leaders often sit on the council. Most light fae leaders are like financers and philanthropists and work out of compounds where there are often research facilities among other programs to aid the Fae

Light fae leaders have titles named after Secred Trees. For example, The Ash is the Light fae leader who resides over Ohio. His home and his compound are in Lima, Ohio. The Blackthorn is the title of another Light Fae leader.

Miscellaneous Officials
There are other political officials that are neither elders nor leaders. Their duties are often like those of cabinet members of human presidents. The Glaive is the title of the Light's Attorney General in the United States.

Heads of noble families are also considered to be honorary political officials because of their clout and power.
