Homebrew Fae-Born Species Details
The Fae are stronger, faster, and more agile than any human, with heightened senses and swift healing.
The Fae possess a natural affinity for magic, as demonstrated by higher number of gifted births with larger amounts of magic than humans. A Fae's magic usually manifests itself in an elemental form; ice, fire, wind, darkness or magic such as oracle sight or healing. Rare among Fae are stranger magic such as magic of will and death and magic that allows someone to "slip between folds in the world" and teleport small distances. Fae usually have the magical ability to transform into another form, that being of an animal of some sort.
The Fae believe they are superior to humans in nearly every physical way, but humans can produce offspring much faster than the Fae. The Fae used to be the main race on all of the continents, but the humans eventually gained enough numbers to far surpass the number of Fae warriors. The humans used these superior numbers to drive the Fae off the main continents and live in small isolated communities. In these small communities, the Fae eventually grew in number and established new kingdoms of Fae and it's culture.
