Homebrew Fairies of At'uin - By Lush and pals Species Details

`SEELIE AND UNSEELIE FEY

 

Two queens hold court in the Feywild, and most fey owe allegiance to one or the other. Queen Titania and her Summer Court lead the seelie fey, and the Queen of Air and Darkness, ruler of the Gloaming Court, leads the unseelie fey.

Seelie and unseelie do not directly correlate with good and evil, though many mortals make that equation. Many seelie fey are good, and many unseelie are evil, but their opposition to each other stems from their queens’ jealous rivalry, not abstract moral concerns. Ugly denizens of the Feywild, such as fomorians and hags, are almost never members of either court, and fey of independent spirit reject the courts entirely. The courts have warred at times, but they also compete in more-or-less friendly contests and even ally with one another in small and secret ways.

While typically small by nature, most fey folk (not including sprites or pixies) can alter their appearance at will using magic or glamor, and can thus adjust their size in accordance with mood, whim, or environment – but I’m going to cap you at a range between six inches and six feet. When at full height, a fairy could almost be mistaken for a high elf if not for their irregular eyes (often entirely black, or with unnaturally large irises in an iridescent rainbow of varying colors) and the wings that unfold from their shoulder blades. Your wings can look however you want them to, and they can be disguised if necessary. Fairies are often supernaturally beautiful, which they use to their advantage to charm and trick the weak-minded. Walking and flying speed depends on the current size of the fairy. Typically chaotic alignment.

History and Society

In a time long past, most fey could only be found in the Feywilds, a separate dimensional plane kept hidden away from others, where only fey folk and some high elven courts could exist without harm. However, several centuries ago, the royal family which ruled over the country of Aundair for generations fell to a startling and incomprehensible ruin, suddenly owing a debt to the Seelie Queen. Little is known about why this came to be, or exactly how, but the elvish king and his court were made to step down should they want to be shown mercy, and the Seelie Queen appointed one of her own as Aundair’s new monarch. This has been the blood of Aundair’s royal family now for hundreds of years, and due to the passage of time in the realm of mortal men, the immortality of the Aundairian fey vanished, leading to a continuing bloodline which slowly forgot exactly how they got there, their origin shrouded in myth, becoming a false bard-song history. The royal family has expanded into smaller, branching noble houses, dukes and duchesses and barons and baronesses, some with elven or even human blood peppered here and there. The fey practices of magic and the respect of nature have persisted throughout the Aundair culture, fiercely combating the industrial push of their neighboring country of Breland.
