[Heliotrope] The Museum of Erotic Art - Miami

It is a known fact that Miami was established in large part for the entertainment of the Sunfires, who are royalty in Outer Fae.  What is not known so well is for the last hundred or fourty years; the city and all Outer Fairy has been under the iron grip of Grandfather Fiddleback.  Large amounts of this are already documented in the Heliotropic Book of Fairy tales which will eventually be released to the public.



Grandfather Fiddleback has systematically destroyed control of the Sunfires from the city one bastion at a time.  The Sunfires are relaxed, open to art an generally approve of being relaxed about sexuality; the Fiddlebacks are exactly the opposite.   In the 13th century, Miriam Fiddleback first imported large amounts of monotheistic ritual and worship into the state sponsored religion of Fiddleback territory.  You'd think in a realm of actual magic, a religion that offered almost nothing in the way of actual results or power for its worshippers would be ignored by the populace, even if it was imposed at the point of the sword, but you'd be wrong.  The Ooga Booga (what the Fiddleback mockery of Christianity and various other earth religions was called) proved to be quite popular, such that it was spread to other worlds.

So, bottom line, the World Exotic Art Museum, contrary to expectations is not secretly owned and staffed by Fae.  But it is, however, patroned by them.  The owner of the collection there, was one of the worlds great patrons of erotic art; and at one point one of them was kind to a member of House Sunfire.  Like all those who have even a drop of Fae blood, courtesy is repaid forever and unkindness is also repaid forever.  It is what makes individuals like Mr. Kind so deadly; they just o good in the world with no expectation of return and as result gain actually the more.  Of course, horrible horrible horrible things can and still do happen to good people but that is another story.

This quiet invisible struggle is not actually by a sunfire.  Except for Michael, they're all snuffed out; but one of the ladies in waiting by Wisdom Sunfire; Charity, who has carefully protected all of the artistic spots of Miami an the doors between Outer Fae and Terra so that at least the nobles could visit and see that Terrans were capable of amazing things and worthy of respect.  Charity employes several guards that stand viligant at all times, ready to help any noble bold enough to defy Fiddleback a way through; by right passage is theirs.  In practice, it just doesn't happen because Priests of the Ooga Booga stand guard in Sunfire City and Miami, disguised as regular folks to report anyone who defies Fiddleback and the Ooga Booga.
