Zombie sky press the faerie ring along t 112

from the wilder portions of Scáthbaile, Jack-in-Irons has become the lieutenant who serves Queen Mab there among the wildest and darkest and most ancient fey While many feel that Jack could easily crush Mab — 100 — and assume the throne of the demesne, he seems to have no ambition Perhaps he feels more comfortable following someone else’s orders (however loosely) rather than straining his brain to forge a path of his own Most of the star sprites know that Jackin-Irons is an omen of war, raiding, death, and extortion, and they avoid him completely His closest friend is (ironically enough) young Lord Puck, who finds Jack amusing and often sends him on fool’s errands The colossal giant seems not to mind and seems grateful that Puck treats him well, brags of the brute’s strength, and tells him all the stories of the sparkling sprites at court—a sight of fey enchantment that Jack-in-Irons is simply far too enormous and fearsome to ever see with his own eyes
