Homebrew Faerie Species Details

Tiny Tricksters

Faeries are well known for the joy they find in trickery, ranging from harmless pranks to pickpocketing. For many citizens of Ravnica, faeries' trickery is merely another part of daily life; most shopkeepers each have their own stories of faeries causing some kind of havoc in their establishment, then fleeing into the sky with high pitchedlaughter trailing behind them - always similar to another shopkeep's story, but never exactly the same.

Skilled Agents

While many faeries are guildless, those seeking a place within the guilds tend to gravitate towards the Izzet League and House Dimir. Faeries who take up membership in the ranks of the Izzet find roles engaging in aerial experiments, testing voltaic flying machines and other airborne devices, and, often, meeting an end getting hit by lightning. Among the Dimir, faeries work as espionage agents, slipping through windows left ajar to eavesdrop or steal documents, easily small enough to avoid attracting attention. Faerie assassins are particularly terrifying for those unfortunate enough to wind up as their targets. With a tiny assailant darting around, cutting sensitive ligaments and vital blood vessels, their victims last moments are spent swatting fruitlessly at themselves in abject terror, as if trying to pat out a flame they will never catch.
