Homebrew Faerie Species Details

An enchanted race born of raw fey magic, faeries are the diminutive tiny folk of the Feywild. They cause flowers to grow and sparkle with summer dew, and they color the leaves with the blazing hues of autumn. These childlike sprites have a penchant for mischievous fun, and there is no game a fairy will not play, no sport it will not attempt, and no revelry it will avoid or decline.

Faeries are nature's immature answer to elves. They are chaotic even with their laws. They are shy and reclusive and adore playing tricks and pranks, seldom bothering outsiders otherwise unless their curiosity gets the better of them.

The presence of a faerie incites awe, excitement, and fear amongst outsiders due to their chaotic reputation. With this in mind, the majority of the world's interactions with fairies come from the fairies of the Cotura Boundary, a large fey-touched forest that lies in the northeastern side of Shayra. Communities of faeries within this land follow a rather loose hierarchy of which a matriarch normally leads, and is oftentimes the oldest among them.
