100 Hobs To Meet in The Hedge

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Hedge. It’s a realm of strange and bizarre madness, but it’s all that stands between the mortal world and Arcadia, the realm of the True Fae. While the Hedge is a living realm, filled with ensnaring vines and snapping plants, it’s also populated with a wide variety of creatures. From hulking ogres with gnashing teeth, to inky living shadows, to beings that look like refugees from a fever dream, the Lost have one name for these creatures.

Hobgoblins.

Sometimes helpful, and sometimes harmful, hobgoblins are as different in their motives and desires as they are in their forms. And for those storytellers who need some help populating the Hedge this supplement has creatures of horror and beauty. Creatures who can help changelings on their journeys, or who can stand in their way. Information brokers, teachers, riddlers, and monsters, there’s a little of everything between these pages.

Here are some sample results:

  • Frieda: A thick-set buzzard that sits in bare branches higher up in the Hedge, Frieda's voice is a sultry croon that one would never expect to come out of her blood-flecked beak. Wearing a necklace of black pearls, Frieda is always hungry, and she loves nothing so much as slightly spoiled meat. She often warns passing Lost of True Fae hunting parties, claiming it's to keep them away from the selfish bastards who leave nothing of their kills behind but tears and bones. Changelings aren't to her taste, though... there's too much Real in them for her delicate palate.
  • Lord of the Rabbits: A regal figure in a waistcoat, gloves, cloak and top hat, the Lord of the Rabbits has tall ears, immaculate whiskers and a cultured voice despite his prominent front teeth. This man-sized rabbit claims to speak for the entirety of hare-kind, and to be a friend to prey of all sorts as long as they do no harm to his people. He will often entreat Lost for aid, and it's not unheard of for him to offer them help should they need it. The latter often comes with oaths sworn not to harm the Lord of the Rabbits, or any under his protection. Some Lost who've sworn such an oath often end up becoming vegetarians out of an abundance of caution so as to not violate an oath to the Velveteen Lord, as some call him.
  • Dai Luna: Dai Luna is often described as a matronly figure, usually dressed in an old-fashioned manner. She's known to fuss over those who come to her door, offering them a meal and a room for the night. Those who accept her hospitality and work to repay it as best they can (washing the dishes, sweeping the stoop and performing tasks for her) find their journeys eased the next day. Dangers are less frequent, and there always seems to be a trod or a gateway to the real world close to hand. Those who are bad guests, though, waken in a small clearing deep in the Thorns with no landmarks in sight. Found only at night in her cozy little cottage, Dai Luna has been a blessing to some, and a curse to others.
  • Vor the Moon Calf: Typically found sitting alone in circles of mushrooms or standing stones, Vor is an unsettling creature. With a bulbous head that seems to float on a pencil-thin neck, withered limbs and a bulging belly, Vor's cheesy skin is pale and moist. Usually babbling to himself in nonsense rhymes, Vor has a soft, almost child-like voice. The Hedge grows thickly around him, almost protectively, though none seem to agree if the Hedge does this of its own volition or because Vor makes it do so. Though known as the Moon Calf, Vor has also been called the Gatekeeper by some. It's said that Vor knows every gate in and out of the Hedge, and that those who can decipher his rambling can find previously unknown ways in and out of the realm between. Or, if one can pay the Moon Calf's price, it's said he can open a gate to allow the Lost back into the real with a touch of his hand, and a whispered incantation so old that even many of the Gentry have forgotten it.
  • Loligut Thorn, The Bramble Sword: Tall and thin, with skin like rough bark and violet eyes with pupils like a goat, Loligut Thorn is a legend among many of the Summer Court. Always found in a clearing that smells like blood, Loligut will train those who ask... but the training is always punishing. They will duel every day until the Lost is bloody and exhausted, only to do it all again at sunrise. It goes on like this until they grow skilled enough to defeat their teacher. The cost, or so many courtiers say, is always time. Whether that means they spent years in the training circle while the world barely blinked, or they emerge after a mere few days of harsh training to find a decade gone missing in the real world, the sacrifice is always uncertain.


Two pages are the front and rear covers and three are the front matter.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
