Parent Species: Elf
Physical Description
While similar to standard elves in physical build, standing at around four to 5 foot tall, the fey-born are blessed with unearthly grace and beauty. Their bodies mature by the age of 20 while they continue to age mentally until they reach 100. While they remain in the Feywild fey-born are immortal, seemingly capable of living as long as they are not mortally injured.
The Settling
Should they choose to enter the material plane, they can go through a 'settling period', that will leave them in a weakened state for weeks or months. Many fey-born do not like the idea of being vulnerable while they undergo this readjustment and as such, most never undertake the journey into the material place. Should a fae choose to pass over and endure the settling, they are to become mortal, and have the lifespan only slightly longer than that of humans, until they return to the feywilds. The fey-born can travel to and from the Feywilds, when they return their ageing stops while in the Feywilds but resumes once they leave again. Each time incurring a settling period.
Prevalence
Due to The Settling, Fey-born Elves are extremely rare in the material realm as it is rare for Fey-born to willingly give up their extended lifespans. Those that do decide to live in the material plane often find it easier to blend in as a normal elf. So the few fey-born that do live outside of the feywilds often go undetected.

Fey Life
"It is thought that a fey-born's ageing process stops once they reach physical maturity, when in fact it only does so while within the Feywilds, since very few fey-born ever leave this is hardly known and while outside the Feywilds a fey-born can live for as long as an elf they can still die from old age if they do not return to the feywilds."
