Homebrew Fey'ri Species Details
Fey’ri
The Fey’ri are the result of a long history of the mixing of elven and demonic bloodlines. After centuries of this union of fey and abyssal heritage, the fey’ri have now emerged as their own race. Fey’ri look very much like elves with hints of their fiendish ancestry, the biggest clue being the bat-like wings they all sport. Aside from the obvious, Fey’ri may have crimson or obsidian colored skin, horns, fangs, tails, or other indications of the darkness they come from, though they do possess the ability to hide these features to better hide among other elven races when need be. Unlike tieflings that tend to lack their own communities, fey’ri live in complex settlements very much influenced by the prestigious culture of the sun elves mixed with the intrigue and chaos of the Abyss, only ever seeking to interact with sun elves of notable legacies outside their own community to expand this heritage for the sake of magical and political power.
