Description
The Djangwull, or Daughters of the Morning Star, are very charismatic and outgoing fae. In the Dreamtime, it was said that the Djangwull were born from the songs of the Aboriginals as they migrated to Australia. As a result, the Djangwull became exemplary performers, often standing out in corrborees and other performance endeavours. Over time, the Djangwull also learnt about the finer points of seduction and socializing. The average Djangwull could definitely give an Eshu or a Satyr a run for their money in terms of performance!The War of Tears threw the Djangwull into disarray. On one hand, here were these strange people from a distant land with all sorts of new tricks and performance styles for them to learn. However, these were also the same people bringing death, pain and Silence into their world. Eventually, they decided to embrace the new world, while maintaining the connections of the old.
More than ever, these fae are responsible for teaching the Europeans about the ways of their people, while learning the ways of the strangers at the same time without incurring Silence. This is a difficult balancing act, but it is one that the Djangwull have perfected over time. Their performance and social skills are beyond compare.
