Homebrew Faerie Species Details

"It's a mystical sight to see and be in the presence of their beauty,”  Deldran said softly. Through the cold and harsh blizzard we pushed to a ripple in the air, as it tears into a portal and there we found the fae wilds greeted by lights.

 

Faeries are a magical people of otherworldly abnormality, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in places of ethereal beauty, in the midst of ancient forests or in pockets dimensions glittering with faerie light, where sounds of crystals drift through the air and fragments of shards raise through the air. Faeries love nature and magic, art and medicine, music and knowledge, and the mysterious things of the world.

Slender and Beautiful

With their unearthly beauty and fine features, Faeries appear hauntingly beautiful to humans and members of many other races. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. They are more slender than humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. Males and females are about the same height, and males are only marginally heavier than females.

Faeries have a wide range of features that differ, many of them carry unusual features that stray from usual like blue hair and glowing eyes. Faeries have no facial and little body hair. They favor elegant clothing in bright colors, and they enjoy simple yet lovely jewelry.

A Timeless Perspective

 

Faeries live for 1,000s of years with free caring thought and sense of protecting the many creatures of Fae. When they live through the endless time they spend many years creating many pocket dimensions of cities and homes. They slowly developed a realm of their own and started to branch out as they took care of their part of the fae wilds.

Hidden Fae Realms

Most faeries dwell in faerie cities hidden among the wilds of changing nature. Faeries hunt game, gather food and grow vegetables, and their skill and magic allow them to support themselves without the need for clearing and plowing land. They are talented artisans, crafting finely worked clothes and architectures. Their contact with outsiders is usually extremely rare, though a few faeries would go to the material realm and hide in civilization.

Faeries encountered outside their own lands are commonly seen as human and herbalists, healers, or just travelers. Most people don't know if they are faeries or not.

Ancestry and Crafts

Most faeries tend to stay in their lands working on crafting and guarding their lands. They sometimes find themselves curious and will leave the Fey; discovering the changes of the material world. Faeries will also practice their crafts or gaining greater magical power, and deep in their homes allow freedom of creation that is made possible through special crystals. Some faeries have been queens, kings, or powerful sorcerers guarding towns.

Faeries Names

Faeries are considered children until faerie society declares them worthy of being adults, after the seventy-fifth birthday, and before this period they are called abbreviations of their parents' names.

On declaring adulthood, a faerie selects an adult name, although those who knew him or her as a youngster might continue to use the child's name. Each faerie's adult name is a unique creation, though it might reflect the names of powerful meanings. Little distinction exists between male names and female names; the groupings here reflect only general tendencies. In addition, every faerie bears their last name as a child. 

Male Adult Names: Tether'aldine, Ather, Wel'od, Shad'ether

Female Adult Names: Adri'cas, Ari'yallian, Levi'tian, Evie'lumios

After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
