Homebrew Fey'ri Species Details

 

1. Origins and Mythic History

The oldest Fey'ri legends speak of an age known as the Covenant Twilight, a period lost beneath layers of myth, propaganda, and deliberate historical destruction.

According to surviving accounts, several powerful elven houses sought means to preserve their influence during an era of catastrophic upheaval. Kingdoms collapsed. Ancient magical networks failed. Rival powers threatened extinction. Faced with annihilation, ambitious nobles and archmages turned toward entities that promised certainty.

The bargains they forged varied greatly.

Some sought immortality.

Some sought power.

Some sought protection.

Others believed they could master infernal forces without surrendering themselves to them.

They were wrong.

The first generations born from these pacts displayed subtle changes. Strange eyes. Unusual talents. A preternatural charisma. Over time the transformations became increasingly difficult to conceal. Horns emerged. Tails appeared. Infernal magic awakened naturally within children who had never studied a spell.

Fear followed.

The houses fractured.

Wars erupted.

Purges consumed entire bloodlines.

Some Fey'ri were exterminated by former allies. Others fled into secrecy. Many concealed their identities beneath glamour magic and false names. Over centuries, the descendants of the original pact-bearers ceased to exist as noble houses and instead became something entirely new.

They became the Fey'ri.

Modern Fey'ri historians often argue that the infernal pacts themselves were not the true catastrophe.

The catastrophe was believing that power could be inherited without consequence.

This belief forms the foundation of many modern Fey'ri philosophies.

The central question of Fey'ri existence is not whether their ancestors sinned.

It is whether descendants must continue paying the debt.

For thousands of years, every generation has attempted to answer that question differently.

Some seek redemption.

Some seek mastery.

Some seek freedom.

Others embrace the infernal legacy entirely.

The struggle remains unresolved.

Indeed, many Fey'ri believe it always will be.

That struggle itself has become the defining feature of their people.

1. Physical Characteristics

The Fey'ri possess an unsettling beauty that many other peoples find difficult to explain. Like their elven ancestors, they display the graceful proportions, refined features, and fluid movements associated with the elder races. Yet beneath that elegance lies something undeniably different—an impression of restrained power, hidden danger, and intense self-awareness.

Many describe meeting a Fey'ri as feeling simultaneously drawn toward and wary of them. Whether this reaction stems from infernal heritage, natural charisma, subtle magical influence, or simple prejudice remains a matter of endless debate.

No two Fey'ri bloodlines manifest their infernal ancestry in exactly the same manner. Some appear nearly indistinguishable from other elves. Others bear obvious signs of their heritage that cannot be concealed without magic. Most exist somewhere between these extremes.

Skin

Fey'ri skin tones vary considerably. Common shades include pale ivory, bronze, copper, obsidian, ash-gray, crimson-tinted umber, and dusky violet hues inherited from ancient infernal bloodlines.

Certain bloodlines develop faint patterns beneath the skin resembling branching veins of silver, crimson, or ember-colored light. These markings often become visible during moments of strong emotion or magical exertion.

Hair

Hair colors range from traditional elven tones to more unusual hues.

Silver, black, white, auburn, and dark brown remain common, but many Fey'ri also possess hair tinted with crimson, midnight blue, violet, copper-gold, or deep wine-red undertones.

Some infernal lineages produce hair that appears almost metallic in certain lighting conditions.

Hair is often worn long, both as a cultural preference and because many bloodlines use intricate hairstyles to communicate house affiliation, social status, or personal achievements.

Eyes

The eyes are often the most striking feature of a Fey'ri.

Common colors include gold, amber, crimson, silver, violet, emerald, sapphire, and obsidian black. Many possess unusual reflective qualities, causing their eyes to glow faintly in darkness or catch light like polished gemstones.

Among some bloodlines, the eyes briefly reveal infernal characteristics during moments of anger, passion, fear, or intense magical activity.

Build

Fey'ri tend toward slender, athletic physiques.

Most possess exceptional flexibility, coordination, and physical grace. Their movements often appear deliberate and controlled even when relaxed.

Unlike some elven peoples who favor delicate frames, many Fey'ri develop lean musculature from martial training, travel, or active lifestyles. Physical self-discipline is highly valued throughout Fey'ri society.

Height

Most Fey'ri stand between 5 and 6½ feet tall.

Men generally average slightly taller than women, though the difference is rarely significant.

Other Distinctive Features

Infernal manifestations vary dramatically between bloodlines.

Common traits include:

• Curved or swept-back horns
• Elongated canines
• Unnaturally sharp fingernails
• Forked or pointed tails
• Eyes without visible pupils
• Subtle scales along the shoulders or spine
• Ember-like freckles
• Unusual body temperature
• Shadow distortion effects
• Faint scent of ozone, smoke, spice, or flowers

Many Fey'ri develop only one or two such traits. Others display several.

A visible manifestation is neither a mark of shame nor a badge of honor. It is simply evidence of heritage.

How an individual chooses to live with that heritage remains a personal decision.

1. Lifespan, Maturity, and Family Structure

Fey'ri mature physically at roughly the same rate as humans, reaching adulthood around twenty years of age. Socially, however, they are rarely considered true adults until they have demonstrated mastery over their Hunger and accepted responsibility for their choices.

Most Fey'ri live between 500 and 800 years, though exceptional individuals occasionally survive longer. Their infernal ancestry grants unusual resilience, but not true immortality. Age often sharpens a Fey'ri's self-control, though it can equally deepen obsessions that have been cultivated for centuries.

Death occupies a unique place within Fey'ri culture.

Unlike many elven peoples who view death as a return to cosmic cycles, Fey'ri traditions emphasize accountability. One's final legacy is measured not by power accumulated but by the choices made while possessing it.

Houses and Bloodlines

The fundamental social unit of Fey'ri society is the House.

A House is more than a family. It is simultaneously lineage, political organization, social network, mutual defense alliance, educational institution, and historical archive.

Some Houses contain hundreds of members spread across continents. Others consist of only a handful of surviving descendants struggling to preserve ancient traditions.

Membership may be inherited, adopted, earned, or bestowed.

Blood remains important.

Choice remains more important.

Marriage and Partnerships

Fey'ri approaches to romance are significantly more complex than those of many neighboring cultures.

Because glamour, enchantment, and infernal influence can easily be abused, Fey'ri society developed strict traditions emphasizing informed consent, emotional honesty, and mutual agency.

Courtship often proceeds cautiously and deliberately. Many relationships develop over decades rather than years.

Marriage exists among most Fey'ri communities but takes diverse forms.

Monogamous unions remain common.

Long-term partnerships without formal marriage are equally accepted.

Certain Houses recognize structured multi-partner unions when all parties willingly participate.

The defining principle is not the form of the relationship but the authenticity of the commitment.

Coercion, magical manipulation, and emotional domination are considered among the gravest social offenses imaginable.

Children and Inheritance

Children are viewed as communal responsibilities rather than private possessions.

Young Fey'ri are often raised by networks of relatives, mentors, family allies, and trusted companions.

Adoption is widespread and carries virtually no stigma.

Many Houses maintain traditions in which promising orphans, refugees, or abandoned children are formally incorporated into the lineage regardless of blood ancestry.

Inheritance typically includes:

• Wealth
• Property
• Magical knowledge
• House obligations
• Oaths and responsibilities
• Historical records
• Secret traditions

The greatest inheritance a Fey'ri can receive is not material wealth.

It is trust.

1. Society, Governance, and Social Order

No single Fey'ri nation exists.

Instead, Fey'ri society functions through an intricate web of Houses, compacts, cloisters, covens, merchant networks, and personal alliances that span the known world.

To outsiders this system often appears chaotic.

To the Fey'ri it represents freedom.

Centuries of persecution taught them that centralized authority creates vulnerabilities. If one city falls, others survive. If one House collapses, the people endure.

As a result, Fey'ri society resembles a living network rather than a traditional state.

The Great Houses

The Great Houses serve as the closest equivalent to governments.

Major Houses maintain:

• estates
• safe havens
• trade networks
• intelligence operations
• educational institutions
• military retainers
• diplomatic contacts

Each House possesses distinct traditions, philosophies, and political agendas.

Competition between Houses can be fierce, though outright warfare is rare. Most conflicts unfold through negotiation, influence, commerce, espionage, and reputation.

Cloisters and Covens

Alongside the Houses exist independent institutions.

Cloisters focus on spiritual growth, redemption, scholarship, and philosophical inquiry.

Covens concentrate upon magical research, arcane traditions, infernal studies, and supernatural threats.

Membership often crosses House boundaries, creating networks that help prevent political fragmentation.

Status and Reputation

Among the Fey'ri, status derives from accomplishment rather than birth alone.

Ancient lineage opens doors.

Personal achievement determines whether one remains welcome inside.

A common Fey'ri saying states:

"Your blood grants introduction. Your choices write the conversation."

This belief creates unusual social mobility compared to many aristocratic cultures.

A celebrated scholar, renowned adventurer, master diplomat, or accomplished pactbreaker may wield more influence than descendants of far older bloodlines.

Nevertheless, tensions remain.

Traditionalists favor preserving House authority.

Reformers advocate broader social inclusion.

Others seek complete rejection of ancestral structures.

These debates have persisted for centuries and show no signs of ending.

1. Cultural Identity and Daily Life

To outsiders, Fey'ri society often appears contradictory.

They are simultaneously secretive and expressive, cautious and passionate, disciplined and indulgent. Many cultures mistake these contradictions for hypocrisy. Fey'ri philosophers argue that they are simply the natural consequence of living with a heritage that constantly demands self-awareness.

At the heart of everyday Fey'ri life lies the belief that desire itself is neither virtuous nor sinful.

Desire becomes meaningful only through choice.

Ambition, attraction, wealth, power, love, knowledge, pleasure, vengeance, and devotion are all recognized as powerful forces capable of creating either greatness or destruction. Rather than attempting to suppress these impulses, Fey'ri culture teaches individuals to understand them.

This philosophy influences nearly every aspect of daily life.

The Art of the Mask

Contrary to popular stereotypes, the Mask is not simply deception.

A Mask is the identity one consciously presents to the world.

Every Fey'ri wears many Masks throughout life:

• The Mask of duty
• The Mask of leadership
• The Mask of intimacy
• The Mask of grief
• The Mask of war

The danger lies not in wearing Masks.

The danger lies in forgetting which face is genuine.

As a result, honesty occupies a surprisingly important place within Fey'ri culture. Not honesty in the sense of revealing every secret, but honesty regarding one's intentions, desires, and responsibilities.

A Fey'ri who manipulates others while pretending benevolence earns greater condemnation than one who openly admits selfish motives.

Homes and Communities

Fey'ri homes tend toward elegance without excessive extravagance.

Private spaces are highly valued.

Most residences include:

• libraries
• gardens
• meditation chambers
• guest suites
• secure meeting rooms

Even modest households often contain carefully maintained works of art or historical heirlooms.

Communities frequently form around House estates, merchant enclaves, cloisters, or hidden neighborhoods embedded within larger cities.

Because many Fey'ri spend portions of their lives concealing aspects of their identity, they place tremendous value on places where they may exist openly.

Education

Education is considered a sacred obligation.

Children receive instruction in:

• history
• rhetoric
• magical theory
• ethics
• negotiation
• emotional discipline
• self-defense

A poorly educated Fey'ri is viewed as dangerous—not because ignorance is shameful, but because ignorance leaves one vulnerable to manipulation.

Particular emphasis is placed upon recognizing coercion, deception, and abuse of authority.

These lessons stem from bitter historical experience.

Beauty and Self-Expression

The Fey'ri possess a well-earned reputation for appreciating beauty.

Art, fashion, architecture, music, dance, poetry, and personal appearance all hold important cultural roles.

However, beauty is generally viewed as a form of communication rather than vanity.

A carefully chosen garment, tattoo, hairstyle, or piece of jewelry often conveys lineage, personal achievements, philosophical beliefs, or emotional states.

Many Fey'ri spend years mastering forms of artistic expression that become lifelong passions.

Mature Themes and Social Customs

Among the Fey'ri, attraction, romance, and sexuality are treated as significant aspects of personal identity rather than taboo subjects.

Their culture developed unusually strong customs regarding consent because of the dangers posed by glamour magic, enchantment, infernal influence, and supernatural charisma.

Children are taught from an early age that affection without consent is corruption.

Desire without honesty becomes manipulation.

Power without restraint becomes abuse.

As a result, Fey'ri social customs often appear surprisingly formal when dealing with intimacy.

Courtship rituals frequently emphasize transparency of intention.

Promises carry significant weight.

Violations of trust can destroy reputations for generations.

This does not make Fey'ri society prudish.

Indeed, many outsiders perceive Fey'ri culture as highly sensual.

The difference lies in the belief that intimacy should be chosen freely rather than compelled through power, status, wealth, magic, or obligation.

For a people whose ancestors were defined by temptation, the ability to choose freely is considered sacred.

1. Traditions, Rituals, and Ceremonies

Fey'ri traditions largely revolve around the central themes of identity, choice, accountability, and self-mastery.

Many rituals commemorate moments when individuals consciously define who they wish to become.

The Unmasking

What It Is: A coming-of-age ceremony.

When It Occurs: Usually between twenty-five and fifty years of age.

Why It Matters: The individual publicly declares the values and principles by which they intend to live.

During the ceremony, participants symbolically remove a ceremonial mask before family, mentors, and community members.

The act represents acceptance of responsibility for one's choices.

Outsiders often mistake the ritual as a rejection of secrecy.

In truth, it is a commitment to personal authenticity.

The Vigil of Hungers

What It Is: A period of meditation and self-reflection.

When It Occurs: During major life transitions.

Why It Matters: Participants confront their greatest desires, fears, obsessions, and ambitions.

The Vigil may last days or even weeks.

The goal is not to eliminate temptation.

The goal is to understand it.

Many Fey'ri describe the experience as profoundly uncomfortable but spiritually necessary.

The Naming of Debts

What It Is: A public acknowledgment of obligations.

When It Occurs: Following major acts of service, sacrifice, or rescue.

Why It Matters: The ceremony formally records debts owed between individuals, Houses, and communities.

Unlike financial debts, these obligations represent bonds of honor.

Some remain unresolved for centuries.

The Night of Fallen Stars

What It Is: A remembrance festival.

When It Occurs: Once each year.

Why It Matters: Communities gather to remember ancestors who succumbed to infernal corruption.

Candles are floated upon rivers, oceans, lakes, or magical currents.

The ceremony serves as both mourning and warning.

Participants honor the dead while acknowledging that any Fey'ri could make similar mistakes.

The Covenant of Open Hands

What It Is: A marriage or partnership ceremony.

When It Occurs: Whenever chosen by participants.

Why It Matters: Partners publicly demonstrate that they enter the relationship freely.

The ceremony traditionally concludes with each participant opening empty hands before witnesses.

The gesture symbolizes trust freely given rather than demanded.

Among the Fey'ri, this remains one of the most sacred rituals in existence.

1. Religion, Philosophy, and Spiritual Beliefs

No single faith unites all Fey'ri.

Their relationship with the divine is shaped by the same question that dominates every other aspect of their existence:

Can a person choose a destiny different from the one inherited?

This question has produced numerous schools of thought, but several major traditions dominate Fey'ri spirituality throughout Aetheris.

The Path of Redemption

The most widespread Fey'ri spiritual tradition follows the teachings of Aurelion, Elyria, and Seraphel.

Followers believe that infernal heritage presents challenges but does not determine moral worth.

Redemption is not viewed as forgiveness for ancestral crimes.

Rather, it is the continual process of choosing virtue despite temptation.

Many cloisters, charitable institutions, and pactbreaking orders belong to this tradition.

Critics sometimes accuse these groups of excessive self-denial.

Supporters argue they preserve the soul of the Fey'ri people.

The Path of Sovereignty

Followers of Nyra, Vael'Tharis, and other deities associated with personal mastery reject the notion that they require redemption at all.

They argue that the obsession with redemption grants infernal powers too much authority over Fey'ri identity.

According to this philosophy, the true goal is self-determination.

One neither submits to infernal temptation nor allows fear of temptation to become a prison.

This tradition remains especially popular among merchants, nobles, adventurers, and political leaders.

The Pactbreakers

A respected but relatively small movement devoted to destroying infernal influence wherever it appears.

Pactbreakers often follow Arcturus, Elyria, and other divine patrons associated with knowledge, justice, and liberation.

Many become hunters of devils, investigators of cults, or scholars specializing in infernal contracts.

Among outsiders, Pactbreakers often possess the strongest reputations.

The Infernal Tempted

Not all Fey'ri resist their heritage.

Some openly embrace infernal powers.

Others secretly pursue forbidden bargains.

Still others fall gradually through ambition, desperation, hatred, or pride.

Followers of Zahruun and similar powers exist throughout Fey'ri history.

They are feared not because corruption is inevitable, but because every Fey'ri understands how easily temptation can appear reasonable.

The existence of these factions remains a source of constant vigilance.

The Soul and the Choice

Regardless of religious differences, most Fey'ri share one fundamental belief:

The soul is not defined by blood.

Neither celestial blessing nor infernal ancestry determines final destiny.

Every person stands accountable for the choices they make.

This belief forms the philosophical heart of Fey'ri civilization.

It is taught to children.

It is debated by scholars.

It is invoked by judges.

It is whispered at funerals.

And it remains the foundation upon which an entire people have built their identity.

1. Relations with Other Peoples

The Fey'ri occupy a peculiar place within the social landscape of Aetheris.

Few peoples inspire such polarized reactions.

To some they are tragic survivors of ancestral mistakes. To others they are dangerous infiltrators whose infernal heritage can never be fully trusted. Many encounter Fey'ri individuals without ever realizing it, while others dedicate entire careers to hunting them.

As a result, Fey'ri communities have become exceptionally skilled at navigating complex social environments, balancing openness with caution and trust with vigilance.

Other Elven Peoples

Relationships between the Fey'ri and other elven cultures remain complicated.

Many traditional elven societies view the Fey'ri as living reminders of ancient catastrophes and failed ambitions. Historical memories of infernal pacts continue to shape perceptions even among otherwise tolerant communities.

Some elven scholars actively cooperate with Fey'ri historians and philosophers, recognizing the immense value of their preserved knowledge.

Others regard them with quiet suspicion.

The Fey'ri, in turn, often maintain mixed feelings toward their cousins. Some seek reconciliation and renewed kinship. Others believe many elven societies abandoned their ancestors during periods of persecution and therefore forfeited any claim to moral authority.

These tensions rarely erupt into open conflict, but they remain ever-present beneath the surface.

Humanity and the Younger Peoples

Most human kingdoms possess wildly inconsistent opinions regarding the Fey'ri.

In cosmopolitan cities, Fey'ri merchants, diplomats, scholars, and adventurers often thrive openly.

In more isolated regions, old superstitions persist.

The younger peoples frequently judge Fey'ri less by lineage and more by individual conduct, a tendency many Fey'ri appreciate.

As a result, it is often easier for a Fey'ri to build a new life among humans, Runebrand, Draymari, Mountainborn, or other younger cultures than within ancient elven societies burdened by historical memory.

The Eightfold Ledger

The Eightfold Ledger represents one of the greatest threats facing the Fey'ri.

Ledger operatives are fascinated by infernal bloodlines, hidden identities, secret loyalties, and generational obligations.

Many Fey'ri Houses possess centuries of accumulated knowledge, political leverage, and occult secrets that the Ledger desperately seeks to acquire.

Numerous conflicts between Houses and Ledger agents have unfolded across generations.

Among Fey'ri circles, becoming indebted to the Eightfold Ledger is considered nearly as dangerous as entering a pact with a devil.

The Sanguine Compact

The Sanguine Compact's obsession with bloodline manipulation places the Fey'ri among its most coveted targets.

Compact researchers seek to understand, replicate, control, and weaponize infernal ancestry.

Entire Fey'ri bloodlines have disappeared after attracting the attention of Compact operatives.

Rumors persist of hidden laboratories where stolen blood, magical essence, and infernal lineage are subjected to horrific experimentation.

For many Fey'ri, the Compact represents the darkest possible reflection of their ancestral mistakes: the belief that power can be engineered without consequence.

House Vaelor

Few organizations despise the Fey'ri more intensely than House Vaelor.

Vaelor doctrines emphasize purity, lineage, hierarchy, and inherited superiority.

The existence of the Fey'ri directly challenges these beliefs.

Many Fey'ri consider House Vaelor one of the primary ideological threats facing the modern world.

Meanwhile, Vaelor propagandists frequently portray the Fey'ri as proof of the dangers of cultural dilution and moral compromise.

The hostility between the two groups has endured for centuries.

The Pure Flame Covenant

The Pure Flame Covenant views the Fey'ri as evidence of infernal corruption made flesh.

Though Covenant leaders distinguish between active cultists and ordinary Fey'ri in official doctrine, many local zealots make no such distinction.

Historically, Covenant crusades have destroyed hidden communities, executed innocent Fey'ri, and fueled widespread persecution.

This history remains one of the deepest collective traumas within Fey'ri society.

Even today, many Fey'ri react to Covenant symbols with immediate caution.

The Veiled Court

The relationship between the Fey'ri and the Veiled Court is both dangerous and seductive.

The Court actively recruits Fey'ri illusionists, spies, diplomats, courtesans, information brokers, and glamourists.

Many Fey'ri possess precisely the talents the Court values most.

Some Houses maintain secret agreements with Court operatives.

Others treat the organization as a corrupting influence little better than infernal cults.

Regardless of perspective, few deny that the Veiled Court offers opportunities difficult to refuse.

This fact alone makes it dangerous.

1. Settlements, Homelands, and Presence in Aetheris

Unlike nearly every major people of Aetheris, the Fey'ri possess no homeland.

No kingdom bears their banner.

No ancestral forest belongs to them.

No sovereign territory exists where all Fey'ri may gather openly and claim ownership.

This absence is not accidental.

It is the result of centuries of displacement, persecution, migration, secrecy, and survival.

The Fey'ri are a people of networks rather than nations.

They survive through connections rather than borders.

Hidden Communities

Throughout Aetheris, Fey'ri establish hidden enclaves within larger settlements.

Some appear as merchant districts.

Others exist behind layers of magical concealment.

Many occupy forgotten estates, abandoned monasteries, secluded valleys, or ancient ruins reclaimed over generations.

To outsiders, these locations often appear entirely ordinary.

Only trusted allies ever learn their true nature.

House Holdings

Major Houses maintain extensive holdings across multiple continents.

These include:

• estates
• trade houses
• safe havens
• archives
• cloisters
• magical sanctuaries
• diplomatic residences

No single holding serves as a capital.

Instead, influence flows through relationships and alliances.

Destroying one House refuge rarely cripples the wider community.

This resilience has allowed the Fey'ri to endure when many other displaced peoples vanished.

The Great Diaspora

Today, Fey'ri may be found almost anywhere.

Large populations exist in major trade centers, cosmopolitan ports, magical academies, merchant republics, and frontier settlements.

They often gravitate toward places where talent matters more than ancestry.

As a result, many people encounter Fey'ri regularly without realizing it.

This reality perfectly suits many members of the species.

After all, survival has always favored those who know when to be seen and when to remain hidden.

1. Adventurers and Callings

Few peoples produce adventurers as readily as the Fey'ri.

Part of this stems from necessity.

A homelandless people must remain adaptable.

Part stems from culture.

The philosophy of the Choice encourages personal exploration, growth, and self-discovery.

And part stems from simple reality.

The world rarely allows the Fey'ri to remain comfortable for long.

Many become adventurers to escape the expectations of their Houses.

Others seek forgotten knowledge regarding the ancient pacts that created their people.

Some hunt infernal cults.

Some seek redemption.

Others pursue wealth, influence, or personal glory.

The motivations vary endlessly.

Common Callings

Certain professions appear frequently among Fey'ri communities:

• Warlocks
• Sorcerers
• Bards
• Rogues
• Wizards
• Clerics
• Paladins
• Rangers

Many Fey'ri excel in roles requiring diplomacy, investigation, infiltration, scholarship, or magical expertise.

Yet just as many pursue martial careers, viewing discipline and self-mastery as essential safeguards against temptation.

Exiles, Seekers, and Wanderers

Some adventurers leave voluntarily.

Others have no choice.

A disgraced noble may seek to restore their House's reputation.

A pactbreaker may hunt devils across continents.

A scholar may search for lost records of the Covenant Twilight.

A young Fey'ri might simply wish to discover who they are away from the expectations of family and bloodline.

Fey'ri culture generally views such journeys favorably.

One cannot truly understand the Choice without confronting uncertainty.

For many Fey'ri, adventuring represents precisely that challenge.

Every road presents temptation.

Every victory creates responsibility.

Every failure teaches consequence.

And every decision offers another opportunity to determine what kind of person one wishes to become.
