Northmen arrive #magicalfaeriefolk #myownfaeriefolk

Northmen arrive..
Midway in "Mystic North" I introduce a new set of people, called simply the people of the North. I wanted to tie together the idea established early in "Isle of the Faeries" how the nomadic people became separated. How some may have survived. 
I found the name Cael. The name which is an angel of the zodiac Cancer, but also a warrior in Irish mythology. It was a good strong name to use for a leader of the people of the North. His oldest son I refer to as Mac. Mac meaning son of so formerly he would be known as MacCael. I needed a female version of Cael which became Caelina. In research I had found Caelina was another name used for the Faerie Queen. I found the picture below and the Faerie Queen's namesake was born.
In the "Mystic North" when Aodhan meets the Northmen, who land on his green Isle, he is taken aback by Caelina's looks and the knowledge that the Faeries were known by these mysterious people.
