Homebrew Fey Touched Species Details

Bounding across the wilds, the fey touched embody a spirit of freedom and travel. The fey touched take on many forms and exist through many different means. Some have made alliances with powerful fey, some are born fey touched while others are suffused with the power of the realm. Those born tend towards more idiosyncratic traits, while those created within the strange realm often seem little changed from their original race, but all are infused with the magicks of the fey realm. Some share characteristics with animals, while others merely look like elves.
