History of Big Skye

Tommynocker Lantern.   One trait shared by Faeries and Humans alike, is a love of gold.  The hunt for its allure drew Leprechauns, Dwarves, Nockers, Moon People & other craftsmen of the Fae across the wild west.

The Kingdom of Big Skye became particularly well-known for its mining activity and over time, the short, bearded little men were thought to occupy the shafts out-of-sight.  Some even said that they were the actual diggers of mining tunnels, instinctively knowing where the streaks of precious metal ran within the rock.

These frontier Fae became known as Tommynockers on account of their “knocking” on the walls of the mine. Sometimes as a warning to a trespassing human, or a signal that there was precious metal nearby.

Other tales told that miners who became lost in the tunnels, would see a swinging light, like that of a lantern, leading them back to the safety of the surface.
