Revision as of 13:53, 8 January 2009
Was this term ever used in the series? -- Matt 17:50, 5 January 2009 (CST)
- Yes. Goliath uses it in "The Hound of Ulster". "Are we in Ireland, then? The Sidhe were of Ireland in ancient times." or something like that. --GregX 18:03, 5 January 2009 (CST)
- Ah, yes, that's right. Thanks! -- Matt 18:25, 5 January 2009 (CST)
- So it's pronounced "shee" then? -- Demonskrye 06:54, 6 January 2009 (CST)
- I always thought he said "The 'shee were of Ireland in ancient times." DTaina 08:00, 6 January 2009 (CST)
- Yeah, that sounds correct to me as well. -- Matt 08:19, 6 January 2009 (CST)
The conversation went like this:
"I am called The Banshee."
"Are we in Ireland, then? The 'Shee were of Ireland in ancient times."
"This is Ireland, indeed."
So, I think he was referring to the Banshee, plural, hence the 'shee, not the Children of Oberon themselves. DTaina 09:07, 6 January 2009 (CST)
- Sidhe is pronounced 'shee'. --GregX 11:00, 6 January 2009 (CST)
Oh, and the more traditional spelling for Banshee is 'bean sidhe.' Pay no attention to the English rules of pronunciation when dealing with Gaelic. --GregX 11:02, 6 January 2009 (CST)
Okay... got this e-mail from Greg. "Sidhe is pronounced She. But that doesn't mean that Sidhe is a synonym for Oberon's Children, anymore than Asgardian is." --GregX 13:16, 6 January 2009 (CST)
- If Sidhe is a subset of the Third Race, rather than a synonym, then we should consider creating a group article for them, along the lines of Kachina or Aesir. We also need to edit the article on Oberon's Children to reflect this, and perhaps include a list of the subsets we know about, as well as the individuals? (After a quick check, I notice we haven't mentioned Kachina anywhere at all in that article.) -- Supermorff 14:37, 6 January 2009 (CST)
- Oops, guess I was wrong about the spelling. Thanks for clearing that up, Greg! DTaina 17:00, 6 January 2009 (CST)
- I think it's fair to add an article for the Sidhe as a subgroup of Oberon's Children, since Goliath mentions them and in such a way that it's clear that there's more than one of them (or there was at one time, at least), even if we've only ever met the Banshee. If we're assuming that all Aesir and all Kachina are Oberon's Children, I don't see any problem with assuming that all Sidhe are as well. -- Demonskrye 18:20, 6 January 2009 (CST)
- Since we now know that not all Aesir were Oberon's Children (see Talk:Aesir), should we reword this article slightly? -- Supermorff 15:53, 8 January 2009 (CST)
