"The assemblies of ones who accumulate plentiful vassals. The Queen's court, the family halls of the breeding kinds with their long parentage chains, some others who've managed it other ways. I haven't had cause to go far from my tree yet, it's not very close to any such concentrations of fairies, and I'm neither master nor vassal, save for the Queen, so I live in a thinly populated forest. Did I say something that sounded like no one having designed any spells? Sorcerers design spells; I could design spells, if only simple ones."
