General
- The Fair Folk: As indicated by its name, the Empire of the Fae is an ancient and powerful civilization populated by various kinds of Fae races, ruled over by tQueen Mab I. It fell when Queen Mab experienced a familian rebellion similar to Changelingkind's "First Spawn Rebellion", after which she became irrevocably insane and kickstarted the Great Fae War.

Queen Mab I (her entry here
) is the mother of Queen Mab II, and the Fae goddess of Nature, Chaos, and Entropy. She was once the ruler of the Fae pantheon and Faekind in general, but after going through traumatic events that was implied to be a familial rebellion similar to what Empress Blackrose went through with her First-Spawn children, as well as things related to the 'Cycle' Queen Dazzleglow mentioned, the ex-Queen just... snapped. So powerful was her might and insanity that it united all the Fae against her, including Changelingkind, in the First Great Fae War. Despite efforts to seal her, Mab I eventually escaped and caused the Second Great Fae War, where not only did the fae fought her, but they received aid from non-fae for the first time in eons, including Discord, who entered a tentative alliance with the Changeling Progenitors despite them being bitter enemies.
Due to her fall into villainy, Mab II helped overthrow her mother and would eventually become a co-leader of the Breezie pantheon with her husband, King Sefyr.
- Ancient Evil: She's a Primeval-rank Fae deity, and attempted to conquer all fae on Equus at one point.
- Cold Iron: Downplayed. She's described in her profile as an "old school" fae, but she's so powerful that it takes a lot of iron-made enchantments to weaken her. Fortunately, the Elements of Harmony and Rainbow Power are much more efficient.
- Complete Immortality: One of the most dangerous things about her: her chaos manipulation includes quantum mechanics, and makes her 'mathematically immortal,' at least as long as she believes she is. She was sealed away both times because her enemies simply couldn't figure out how to actually kill her.
- Disaster Dominoes: One of her applications of Chaos magic is inducing "butterfly effects", creating random events that eventually prove incredibly unlucky and destructive for her enemies.
- The Dreaded: She has the honor of being one of few beings that manage to disturb Emperor Blackthorn, and that's saying something. Worse yet, she's so powerful and insane that she caused both Changeling Progenitors to ally with Discord in order to take her down.
- Evil Matriarch: She's the mother of Queen Mab II, who helped overthrow and defeat her in the Great Fae War.
- Expy: According to Godzillawolf, one of the writers for Codex Equus, she is inspired by Titan Oberon's mother Queen Mab from Gargoyles.
- Godzilla Threshold: Speaks volumes of just how dangerous and powerful Queen Mab I is when the Changeling Progenitors had to ally with Discord in the Second Great Fae War, given both of them hated him immensely. Faekind as a whole also received help from other Non-Faekind, which is stated to be unprecedented.
- The High Queen: It's implied she was once a benevolent ruler, like Blackrose. Unlike her, she fell into evil and madness after experiencing an event that's heavily similar to the Changelings' First-Spawn Rebellion, and never recovered from it.
- Mad God: She's a Primeval-rank Fae deity, making her one of the oldest deities in Equus, yet she's described by her entry as completely insane.
- The Magnificent: Queen Mab I, the "Fae Preeminent".
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Was imprisoned after the Great Fae War by the combined forces of the Breezie Pantheon and the leaders of two (possibly three if the Amber Royal was indeed involved) Changeling Courts. In addition to her sheer power, this is in part due to the fact she has Complete Immortality and might not be possible to kill.
- The Wonderland: What Queen Mab I's domain looks like when in full control of it, not like the World Gone Mad Discord creates whenever he was in power. Given how nuts she is, it isn't much of an improvement.
