Devin was a Faerie Noble on Ulgrotha around the time of the Homelands (ca. 3800 AR).

Description[ | ]

Devin was a figure of both wisdom and leadership among the faeries of the Great Wood on Ulgrotha. Created by the Autumn Willow in the likeness of Veldrane of Sengir, Devin was one of the few faeries who possessed a deep understanding of both faerie and human nature. Unlike the playful and often mischievous faeries, Devin and the other faerie nobles were responsible for the safety and well-being of their subjects.[1]

Devin’s role was multifaceted. As a leader, he was charged with protecting the faeries and ensuring their readiness for any threats. In times of peace, he acted as an ambassador and diplomat, navigating the complex relationships between the faeries and the humans of An-Havva. His diplomatic skills were crucial in maintaining harmony and preventing conflicts.[1]

In terms of personality, Devin was known for his wit and sharp observations. He had a keen eye for fashion [2] and a sense of humor that often shone through in his remarks. However, beneath this playful exterior lay a thoughtful and strategic mind. He never questioned the motives of the Autumn Willow, even when her actions seemed strange, indicating his deep respect and understanding of her wisdom.[3]

Devin also displayed a practical and tactical mindset. He understood the importance of surprise in dealing with threats like root spiders and emphasized the advantage of not being seen by such creatures. This strategic thinking was a testament to his leadership qualities and his ability to protect his people effectively.[4]

Despite the general perception of faeries as elusive and cryptic, Devin was known for his straightforwardness. Unlike most faeries who spoke in riddles, Devin’s communication was clear and direct, earning him respect from figures like Joskun, the An-Havva constable. This ability to communicate made him an effective leader and diplomat, bridging the gap between the faerie world and human society.[5][6]

Although hundreds of years have passed since Feroz's Ban fell, the lifespan of Ulgrothan Faerie Nobles is unknown, leaving a possibility that Devin is still alive.
