Homebrew Fae (Throne of Glass) (Updated) Species Details

Few know the true origin of the Fae. Some believe they're the result of an ancient curse or blessing, while others think they came to our world from beyond the stars, or even our reality. Regardless, any who gaze upon them can tell they're not a natural race from the material plain, but they also lack the aura of creatures from the Feywild. They are so rare many beings go their entire lives without meeting a Fae, even elves with their extensive lifespan. Fae rarely reproduce, and when they do there is a high chance the child will be a human, even if the parents are both Fae. This could be the cause of their scarcity. Fae tend to live in the wild or mountains to avoid interacting with those who may be hostile to them due to their unfamiliarity.

Not Quite Human

Fae share physical traits with both elves and human. They possess an ethereal beauty similar to the elves but have human skin tones and hair colours. They also usually possess pointed ears and elongated canines, though this is not always the case.

Feared and Persecuted

Most Fae feel as though they are not welcome in civilised society due to their unfamiliar hybrid appearance and strange aura. As a result many spend their lives on the fringe of society in the wild or in mountain caves. Those who do venture into settlements can be found in small towns or villages where they're accepted and sheltered by the community, but rarely ever in large cities where they can face persecution and fearful looks from the inhabitants.

Names

Fae share names with many races, depending on who they are raised or named by, most commonly human, elven or fey names.
