Patience

Patience is a Fairy city located on the Moon. It was built around the severed hand of Ciderskin, giving Fairies easy access to it and its powers over time. Patience was abandoned when the Pearl turned all the Fairies into tools.

History
Patience was first founded when the Fairies succeeded in snapping off the hand of the Yeti Ciderskin in a trap. They then built a city around it, and ironically named it Patience, despite the fact that in using the hand's power over speeding up time, it showed that the Fairies had no patience at all.

The warping of time causing many creatures to age prematurely, driving all other species off the Moon and down to Fairyland. Those that remained suffered heavily from the effects of sudden aging. This caused the Moon to respond with the appearance of the Pearl, who showed up in Patience, casually leaned against the hand of Ciderskin, and turned all the Fairies in Patience into tools.

Patience was also the location of the birth of the Moon's baby, starting with the appearance of a swollen red blister-like lump that rapidly grew out of the ground.

September arrived at Patience in book 3, in time to see Ciderskin, with the help of a version of Saturday from the future, birth the Moon's child. September tripped and fell on a typewriter, breaking the vial of orange fizz and leaking it into the typewriter, which turned back into a Fairy, triggering the reversal of the Pearl's spell. While this was happening, Ciderskin was speeding up time to protect the baby Moon, and in doing to, accelerated the age of September.

After she had been aged, the Fairies released September, finding her sudden old age funny, and she returned to Fairyland, where she became known as the Spinster.
