In spite of its name, the Fairy Council contains few [[Fairy|fairies]]; neither [[Betilla]] the Fairy nor [[Ly]] the Fairy appear. The only [[Fairy|fairies]] which are seen in the Fairy Council are a handful of [[Ludiv]]s and a number of minuscule, [[firefly]]-like [[Fairy|fairies]] that do not appear elsewhere in [[Rayman (series)|the series]].

The Fairy Council is more importantly the resting place of the [[Heart of the World]], the mystical conglomeration of energy which contains all 1,000 existing [[Yellow Lum]]s and is the source of all power – including that of the god [[Polokus]]. The chamber in which the [[Heart of the World]] is contained is also the throne room of the [[Grand Minimus]], the four amnesiatic kings of the [[Teensie]]s. They use it as a strobe light to complement their disco dancing. | ||
Surrounded by a tranquil forest, the ominous Fairy Council is mysterious and majestic. The interior glows with a blue aura and various halls have reflective walls or floors. [[Ludiv]]s reside within the council walls in a similar fashion to ants.

The Fairy Council is the only level in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' in which [[Murfy]] appears. At one point in the level, he laments that he is still stuck playing a sidekick, even after his role in ''[[Rayman 2]]''. At the end of the level, he departs, saying ‘See you in ''[[Rayman 4 (cancelled prototype)|Rayman 4]]''!’ – a game which never came to fruition. | The Fairy Council is the only level in ''[[Rayman 3]]'' in which [[Murfy]] appears.

[[Rayman]] and [[Murfy]] arrive in a large chamber. At the left side, there is a wooden target with a crude painting of [[Globox]], at which a [[Hoodmonger]] carrying a [[Vortex]] hides behind. He uses this to strike at some stone ledges with similar properties to the [[meadowscrew]]s, ending with a bouncy platform that lifts him onto a ceiling of vines that he has to climb onto. This leads him into a small chamber with a wall of vines to climb up, and the first [[Tribelle]] found in the game. After climbing up the vines, [[Rayman]] is now in a corridor with a slippery slope. The only way to cross this is to bounce on the floating platforms there. At the top of the slope there is another wall of vines, leading him to another chamber in which the [[Fairy|fairies]] are found. | [[Rayman]] and [[Murfy]] arrive in a large chamber.

Upon entry, the [[Grand Minimus]] finds out that [[André]] is still alive and wreaking havoc within [[Globox]]'s stomach. Uncertain on how dangerous it would be to keep [[Globox]] in this chamber with [[André]] inside him, one of the [[Grand Minimus]] then instructs [[Rayman]] to take [[Globox]] to see the first of the three [[Teensie doctor]]s, [[Otto Psi]], whose office is in [[Clearleaf Forest]]. He tosses [[Globox]] into a portal, and [[Rayman]] himself follows after [[Murfy]] warns him of the dangers the [[Black Lum]] could impose on [[Globox]] (especially forcing him to drink [[plum juice]], which he is allergic to), and finally bids him goodbye. | ||
A secret room can be found in this area, which is accessible if [[Rayman]] was to climb on a ledge on one of the pillars, and then run across the ledge higher up in the room.

Once [[Rayman]] goes through the portal after [[Globox]] and the [[Teensie]]s, he follows them through the first of a series of psychedelic wormholes known as the aforementioned [[Teensie Highway]], in which he has to time his jumps over a bunch of varied length platforms.
