Summary: The green isle is a magical place.


Originally, the Fowls came from British import - street runners and cut-purses, the most hardscrabble of persons who followed after the flow of investments of  plantations across the sheltered sea - but they have stayed on the green isle and married into her people for so long that the Fowls are Irish.

Irish by name, Irish by nationality, Irish by blood. There is a magic to that nature, carried in blood and bone from mother to child.

Enough that Fowl Manor is set not in the heart but on the outskirts of Dublin, with wide-stretching, wild grounds and high, sturdy walls around its perimeter for moon-soaked rambles.

Enough to garner a certain ... reputation, in back-alleys and other areas of physical altercation.

Enough, that when Artemis finds himself in need of gold, needs a power beyond the reach of the most cutting edge medical technology, he can turn to the old tales and warning. Turn, and be successful.
