Homebrew Fey'ri Species Details
Fey'ri were not a true elven subrace. They were to elves as tieflings were to humans and tanarukks were to orcs. The fey'ri were the result of interbreeding between sun elves and tanar'ri in an attempt to strengthen the sun elf bloodline. The fey'ri resembled elves "the way tieflings resemble humans", but generally rejected the notion of elven resemblance as offensive. Some fey'ri had barbed tails, fangs, forked tongues, or horns, or any combination. Some had multiple sets of arms and one or more sets of wings. Some fey'ri were not visibly different to elves at all, and some were raised amongst elves, some never knowing their true nature.

Age
Although fey'ri reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. Fey'ri typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 1000 years old.
Size
Fey'ri range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.
Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed and magic can't put you to sleep.
Trance
Just as elves, fey'ri don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Elven Mask
As an action, you can shift your appearance to be less fiendish, appearing as a normal elf but recognisable you. You can shift back as an action and revert to your true form when you die.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write in Common, Elven, and Abyssal.
Subrace
When the Daemonfey were still in power, Winged and Hellwarrior fey'ri were more frequent. Today, when the taint of corruption is less powerful, more Trickster and Sunblessed fey'ri tend to be born.
