Mortals Guide to Visiting Faerie

~ Cold Iron interferes with fairy magic or fairy powers.

~ If you eat in Faerie, you might be stuck there for 100 years.

~ Don't accept any gifts in Faerie, you might be stuck there for 100 years if you are not able to match the gift.

~ Always be polite in Faerie - for an impoliteness you can find yourself with donkeys ears or worse.

~ Never tell anybody in Faerie your true name because knowing someone's name gives you power over them.

~ Touch an iron nail to any gold a fairy gives you to tell if it's real.

~ The fake gold that fairies give you turns to dross in the morning.

Robert 'Hob' Gadling's Pact for Eternal Life

Unbeknownst to Hob, Death granted him immortality and agelessness when he agreed to meet Dream in the tavern of the White Horse in a hundred years time.

Throughout the centuries, despite ups and downs; losing loved ones; and falling into disgrace, Hob never loses his will to live.

Only a few bottles remain, in dreams.

Shared by Morpheus and Hob Gadling.

"To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the Devil his due."
