Sithe

Sithe
Inspired by a fragment from “The Wise Man’s Fear”, second book from “The Kingkiller Chronicle” trilogy by Patrick Rothfuss
"You know who the Sithe are?"
Kvothe shrugged. "They're a faction among the Fae. Powerful, with good intentions
Bast waved his hands. "You don't understand them if you use the term ‘good intentions.' But if any of the Fae can be said to work for the good, it's them. Their oldest and most important charge is to keep the Cthaeh from having any contact with anyone. With anyone.
"I didn't see any guards," Kvothe said in the tones a man might use to soothe a skittish animal.
Bast ran his hands through his hair, leaving it in disarray. "I can't for all the salt in me guess how you slipped past them, Reshi. If anyone manages to come in contact with the Cthaeh, the Sithe kill them. They kill them from a half-mile off with their long horn bows. Then they leave the body to rot. If a crow so much as lands on the body, they kill it too.
