Homebrew Xeion/Beetlefolk Species Details
Xeion are intelligent Wyldfae insectoids that resemble beetles and bees. As a Wyldfae species, Xeion do not belong to a court of the feywild, though some aligned themselves with a court and fought in service of it in order to preserve their freedom and way of life. Others fled the feywild to the material plane. As an insect from the feywild, you are deeply ingrained with fey magic, and have a special connection to fey and other creatures.
