Cognizance

Synopsis

Cognizance is the conscience of Faerie creatures of their very nature. Cognizance describes to what extend a faerie is aware of its existence, its behavior, as well as the role it plays in the game. Only cognizant faeries are capable of forging their own destinies.

Categorization

There are three levels of cognizance:

Incognizant : Such faeries are not aware of their nature, nor able to sheer from their path deliberately. They act mainly on instinct.

Narrowly cognizant : These faeries may undertake marginal changes to their behavior and existence.

Highly cognizant : These faeries are fully aware of their nature, and may deliberately adapt their behavior and nature.
