A couple of questions about Oberon and Titania's children that you mentioned here a while ago.
1. Are they Third Race members that we've already met, or brand-new characters? (I suspect the latter myself, but I want to make certain).
2. If the latter, would they be traditional figures of legend or literature like their mom and dad (and Grandma Mab, for that matter), or people whom you'd made up?
Greg responds...
1. Brand new, as far as I know.
2. Mostly the former.
Airwalker writes...
In the archive when asked if the Fey are still on Avalon with Oberon in 2158, you answered "Largely." Besides Owen/Puck, how many other Fey do you figure would be off of Avalon in that time? One? Five? Too many to count?
Greg responds...
Too many to count on one hand. But not a lot.
Airwalker writes...
At the end of THE GATHERING 2, did Oberon restore Fortress 2 to the air and fix up Central Park so there was no evidence of any battle, or did he leave it in place?
If it wasn't moved, then how did Renard explain why it crashed again? And if people think that yet another flying fortress crashed, why would they be willing to allow it to go up a third time?
Greg responds...
Do you really think Oberon would have bothered?
And who said it went up a third time?
Durax writes...
You've mentioned in the past that Elisa and some others might wear Odin's Eye. Odin has his eye back however. How does he lose it again?
Greg responds...
When did I mention that?
Airwalker writes...
1. What would you say is the Fey Population of Avalon in present times?
2. Would the Fey population of Avalon have grown by 2158?
Greg responds...
<Wooh> Airwalker. You sure went to town with the questions on August 7th.
1. I don't know.
2. I guess.

Are the Weird Sisters the origin of all the "three-sisters" myths around the world? For example are they the origin for the Fates, the Furies, the Norns, the Morrigan, the Graeae and so on? Or were there other triple deities around as well?
Greg responds...
I hate to give an absolutist answer, but I wasn't planning any other triple sister acts. I had larger plans for the Weird Sisters, that would have included (at minimum) the Fates, Furies and Norns. (I have to plead ignorance re: the Morrigan. Do me a favor, Aris, and post something here about them.)
But it's the Graeae that give me pause. They seem so distinct from the others. Might be New Olympian Territory.

You had mentioned once that Phoebe was the kind one, Selene the harsher one, and Luna the mystical one.
Problem is I didn't see any difference among their personalities. Were you just joking, or did you indeed have plans to differentiate them in this manner?
Greg responds...
I feel I did differentiate them in this manner. I suppose I might have failed, but I don't think so. Listen to their voices, their attitudes.
And if that doesn't work <sigh> than Phoebe has blonde hair, Seline black, Luna silver.
Aris Katsaris writes...
So, (a silly question) who would have won, Odin or the Banshee, if Oberon hadn't stopped the fight? :)
Greg responds...
I'd have to lay odds on Odin, but the Banshee might have gotten lucky.
Aris Katsaris writes...
When did you decide that deities like Odin and Anubis were part of the same race with the 'elves'? Was it part of the original conception of the series or a later thought?
(Btw, I agree with it. In various mythologies the distinction between elves and gods is almost non-existent, so it's very reasonable.)
Greg responds...
Thanks for the support. But the question is harder to answer, because it was gradual. Keep in mind the whole concept of the Third Race (introduced with Puck in THE MIRROR) was a late addition to the concept. I think we came up with it halfway through the writing of the first season.
Including the other gods came during the writing of the second season. I definitely knew I was headed that way. But I do remember Frank and Dennis being surprised when the script for "The Gathering, Part One" included Odin, Anubis and Coyote at Avalon. By then, I was certain that was the correct way to go. But I guess I had forgotten to tell anyone.
Aris Katsaris writes...
Asked about whether halflings like Fox, Alex and Merlin age slower, you responded "It depends." On what does it depend?
Greg responds...
On how human they live and believe their lives to be. On training. On appearance. On luck.
