Homebrew Floral Nymph Species Details

Floral nymphs are a group of feyfolk common to the Seelie Court, as well as its associated Spring and Summer Thronecourts. Though often underestimated due to their small statures and delicate appearances, floral nymphs are not a people to be trifled with--their very bodies can emit psychoactive chemicals that could save or ruin someone's life.

A Symbiotic Sentience

Floral nymphs are born when a fey parasite known as psycelianth bonds with a flower. This relationship is shared with nearby nymphs through mycelial networks, who are tasked with raising the newborn nymph that forms. In this typical situation, nymphs are raised in communal settings.

Mystic Nectars

Nymph communes place a great deal of importance on controlling one's vessel; young nymphs are expected to hone their chemical abilities and pheromone exultation by early childhood. These powers are often chaotic, however, and many nymphs find themselves struggling with the use of these abilities their entire lives.
