Homebrew Fairy Folk Species Details

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.
