Creatures of Ithia Expanded: The Movere Carmen the Fae Cricket.

An Advanced Creature Profile by Vincent Groth.      

The Movere Carmen are humanoid androgynous fae standing three feet tall with four arms ending in delicate claws for manipulating strings and long powerful legs for leaping great distances. They have long feathered antennae forming a horseshoe shape. They have a golden blank mask for a face and marble white feathering across their bodies. The Movere Carmen seem to be a mix of moth and cricket made humanoid. They like to wear intricate coats that blend in with their natural feathering. 

The Movere Carmen can leap great distance have incredibly powerful vibration-based hearing. They embody part of the great Dance and they can imbue their music with it to manipulate other Fae around them. Raising spirits, causing fits of dances, and help raise tragedy towards a grand crescendo. 

The Movere Carmen are advisors, leaders, and artists serving as minor dignitaries of the Order Court. Movere Carmen are more independent than their Lux Tinea counterparts. 

Like most Fae Movere Carmen are eternal and if their mortal body is destroyed, they will reappear at their designated bed. They never age and remain appearing as fresh adults, or whatever age they choose to appear as. They are very vulnerable to Iron. The Movere Carmen are blind and mute relying on their music to communicate by instilling their will into the essence of their fellow fae.
