Homebrew Fairy (Olvara) Species Details
Fairies are delicate, ethereal beings no taller than a gnome's knee. They live in hidden groves beneath flowering canopies and within crystalline hollows, sheltered by thick layers of illusion and enchantment. Born of magic, fairies are not merely students of the Weave—they are woven into it. The presence of a fairy subtly bends reality: lights shimmer brighter, leaves sway in tune with song, and arcane currents hum with life. Though often underestimated, their insight and power run deep. Most fairies who leave their groves follow a path of spellcraft, becoming wizards, sorcerers, or warlocks drawn to forgotten truths.
