Homebrew Feyling Species Details

A People Misplaced

After the events of The Calamity, many creatures were unable to return to their native planes. Among them are the Pixies. Being an affable people, the Halfings were very willing to take them in, and it didn't take long for the two races to intermingle. Their offspring became known as the Feylings: a generation of rambunctious hybrids, struggling to find their place in the world.

Feylings' skin can range from a deep tan to fairly pale, with their wavy hair tending towards light browns, blondes, and reds. They have hazel, green, or blue eyes. Feyling men lack their Halfling relative's ability to grow facial hair in most cases. They favor simply, practical clothes, usually adorned with leaves or flowers.

While raised in a society that values practicality above all things, Feylings often find it difficult to fight their urge to express themselves.They are naturally drawn to the arts, and almost habitually collect things they find beautiful. While Halflings prefer a straightforward approach to their problems, Feylings tend to use more creative methods.
