A tension/animosity between Faerie Smallfolk and the Lightbringers developed over the ages. The Faerie Smallfolk have traditionally used Faerie Vexation collectively as one of the means to keep folk away from where they live. The strange and often humorous (to the Faerie Smallfolk) effects lean heavily into odd time effects and a break in the natural order – the antithesis of the ordered and structured world the Lightbringers work for. The intensity of the personalization that the clergy and devout perceive as a flagrant flaunting of their world order is seen as odd by most. Facing a vexation is a form of spiritual reckoning for many followers of the Lightbringers and the victory of those with Conviction through repetition of challenge with symbols of order (especially chanting and incense and offerings) is considered the equivalent of a Pilgrimage.
