Homebrew Fey Species Details

Fey are very much in tune with nature and rely on their instincts when perceiving the world; their senses guiding them through the heat of battle and the intricacies of conversation. They are naturally charismatic creatures - from a young age they are fun, wild and easy-going in nature. Their natural flair shows in a predatory elegance that imbues itself in every move they make. 

Timeless Tricksters

Because they can live for thousands of years, many Fey take to becoming skilled tricksters who derive great joy in fooling and playing jokes on the shorter lived races. They are not generally knowingly cruel to others, but due to their long lives and broad perspective, they may seem to be to the other races. Many do not see anything wrong with doing things that causes great, long lasting turmoil in the world because to them, it is only a short time with very little overall importance. 

Wild and Beautiful

They are creatures of the Feywild and their appearances greatly show this. Many have animalistic traits like horns, hooved feet, tails, etc. Others may grow flowers from their hair or have mossy bark-like skin. They are very proud of these qualities and will choose to wear clothing that exemplifies them. They have a wide range of colorations; from mossy green, to as blue as the ocean, dandelion yellow to rose red.  Although these traits may be unusual, the Fey are generally considered hauntingly beautiful by humans and many other races. 

Feywild Seclusion

Most Fey never leave the Feywild because they do not care for the pace of the human world. Those who do leave rarely leave on their own free will; they have either been sent on a mission by the High Fey or have been exiled from the Feywild. Once they are in the human world, they often find careers that allow them to travel and live how they please. Many become renowned craftsmen or fighters.
