Homebrew Fey'ri Species Details
We spent months tracking the elf that had murdered the Mayor and his family. When we finally caught up with the murderer, we were shocked to learn the truth of things. He had gathered with several other elves, in a small clearing in the woods. As we prepared to attack we watched in shock as each of their shapes shifted and changed revealing the truth. They were not elves but creatures we had never seen or even heard of.
Natural Sorcerors
Fey'ri have a talent for arcane magic. Their nature, combined with their strong and insightful minds, makes learning such magic an instinctive part of their development. Almost every fer'ri learns a few spells, typically those used to mask their presence, and many go on to mastere magic.
Outcast Adventurers
Few fey'ri would dream of leaving their homes or attempting to fit into human society. An exiled fey'ri, or one whose clan has been destroyed, might not have a choice in the matter. Most adventuring fey'ri fall into this latter category.
Outcast fey'ri can never return home. They committed some unforgivable deed, usually something that put their homeland at risk, such as exposing their true nature to outsiders. These fey'ri are loners who wander the world in hope of finding a new place to call home.
