Homebrew Fey Species Details

Appearance and Racial Facts

The Fey look almost elf-like, the only differance being the facial markings that they develop once they reach maturity around the age of 250 years. Fey live long lives of upwards to 1500 years, meaning they are often smarter or wiser than others. They also have a low birth rate, keeping the populus rather low. They Fey language has long been forgotten, even by the respective race, so Elven has become their common tongue. Gey only require 4 hours of a meditative trance for a long rest.

Male Fey live slightly longer than females and are on average around 5'6" in stature. They excel at bowmanship and other forms of battle, as this is trained into them from a young age as a defense measure. The men also tend to be wiser and far more physically domineering.

Female Fey are taught magic and healing from a young age to aid the men in battle, but are also trained to use daggers and swords in the event that they become a last defense. While the female Fey do live shorter lifespans, they do study more texts than the men do and are highly intelligent. Many women become scholars and write about their studies to have them given to the next generations in their village. Some of these books have found their way out of the villages to human and elven towns, however.

Environment

Fey are known to live in secluded villages in no particular landscape. Some live in forests, others in tundras. Some even live in dwarven mountains where they trade with the dwarves in the area regularly. There are a few Fey that live on their own in hidden homes and some that are nomads. They often can disguise themselves to move to new locations and not be detected as Fey, but as simple Elves.
