Homebrew Fae Species Details
Not all fey are the bright natured spirits of legend. Though many use that as a guise to trick gullible humans. Fey are alien beings from another world, their perception of reality different from those on the Material Plane. They can be timeless and ageless, aloof and whimsical, or dangerous and vengeful Powerful fey can weave space and time like one might weave a tapestry, twisting it to their whim. They can bestow blessing or curses with nothing but a well spoken rhyme.
Fey can be alien to the world of mortals, and faries are no exception. Some faries might perceive time differently. Minutes might feels like days, or days can pass like seconds. Many faries are not accustomed to the wide range of emotions that mortals feel. Usually only passing between disintrest and intense bursts of one single emotion. Faries may have trouble understanding concepts like mortality, violence, ownership or honesty. Many faries have trouble understanding the potential consequences of a physical reality. A fact that can make them playfully naive, or exceptionally dangerous.
Fae Traits
Like many fey, faries are born of the whimsical or sometimes alien, chaotic magic of the Feywild Fairies share a few commonalities with one another but can differ widely in appearance, behavior, and attitude depending on their origin. Pixies of the Summer Court can appear brightly colored with butterfly like wings, while sprites of the Shadowfell might appear dark skinned with bat wings, Just as their appearance is a product of their origin, so too is their personality. Many faries are born from the fanciful magic of the Seelie Court. With an eye for beauty and a love of all things good While some faries are the product of disasterous curses. Born of malicious vitrol and the product of ironic punishment, such dark faries often embody the more evil side of the FeywildAge
Faries are products of feywild magic, and can be as timeless or as ephemeral as nature itself. Most faries have no set lifespan, living only as long as there is magic to sustain them. Though certain types of faries live longer than others.
