Lore
History
There are some scraps of a history preserved in the Summer Courts deep vaulted libraries about the origins of the púca. It is said in an Age long forgotten by nearly all fae that they were once one species who were able to shapeshift at will into any being and choose which animal characteristic they wanted to display in the same manner another fae might choose what dress to wear that day. At some point over the millennia's the púca drifted apart from one joined species into smaller groups that came to be known as the "Tribes". These sub-species for whatever reason begun to lose their abilities to change their characteristics and in the end were stuck with one.
Scholars argue about what might have caused the Schism as it is referred to in history but most agree it was likely due to war and arguments over females. The near primal mentality of these fae, again according to scholars, has been a near constant since their arrival onto this earth.
Since the Schism there has been hostility between the different tribes which more often than not flares into open confrontation and wars. Courts have stepped in in the past in order to curb the bloodthirst and take tribes under their umbrella in order to try and stop future wars. Púca's have always made for terrible subjects in most Courts with the púca often seeing their allegiance as being to their Tribe even above their Court.
Each Tribe has its own complicated and long history which will tell a person much more about that fae.
