In the Gargoyles Universe is fate a person (a fay) or an element like time?

In M.I.A Goliath says to Griff "Fate is conspiring against us." and "Maybe fate can somehow be... aaah..."*pushes Griff away* "cheated."
"Time is a river correcting it's course." Is fate also an invisible element like time correcting peoples lives and stories? Or is it one of Oberon's children, a trickster maybe?

Greg responds...

Fate isn't a person. (I'm not sure what you mean by "element".) But that doesn't mean that there aren't fae connected to fate the way Anubis for example is connected to Death.

Do the fae have any kind of afterlife or souls? Traditional folklore says no, but it seems rather unfair to have them souless compared to the other two races..

Greg responds...

They have the potential.

Do you have to be a fay in order to be a trickster? I'm asking this because Xanatos is 100 % human, and he's definitely a trickster-figure just as surely as are Puck, Raven, Anansi, and Coyote, at least IMHO.

Greg responds...

Technically, yes. But anyone with the soul of a con artist, the hands of a pickpocket and a decent sense of humor can be a trickster.

Considering the amount of iron in rocks/soil, would being underground have any significant effect on a fae's magic?

Greg responds...

Not much.

I just want to check on this; if Demona had succeeded in her plague, we already know it would not have affected Gargoyles, wiped out humans, done serious damage to the New Olympians, and possibly sentient animals as well as Nokkar might have been unknown factors..but the thing is, would the fae have been affected at all by the plague, being creatures of pure magic?

Greg responds...

Possibly. Of course, most were safely isolated on Avalon at the time.

1) Did the struggle for power between Oberon and Mab get recorded however dimly in any myths or legends? Since fae seem to be remembered in stories pretty well, being worshipped as gods and so on..
2) Did the struggle cause any great devestation to Avalon or the Earth?
3) Did it occur before Nokkar arrived?
4) How long did it take Oberon to win?

Greg responds...

1. Probably.
2. Probably.
3. Haven't thought that one through. Hmmmm.
4. The length of the conflict.

Just why did Oberon choose to start the Gathering?

Greg responds...

He planned it 1001 years ago. He was just fulfilling his own command.

Is Queen Mab subject to Oberon's non-intervention law?

Greg responds...

Queen Mab is currently subject to a life sentence. Everything else is moot unless -- or until -- she gets out.

About what time did Oberon and Titania get married? Was Shakespeare corect about them being a wedded couple during the time of Theseus?

Greg responds...

Ask me again some other time, I'm currently in a re-think on Midsummer. I'm not sure how it's gonna come out.

Just why did Oberon overthrow Mab?

Greg responds...

She was trouble.

Also she didn't approve of Titania.
