Homebrew Fey'ri (Sun Elf & Abyssal) Species Details

 Fey'ri Society

Their society is very close-knit and keeps close relations, so each fey'ri has a very good idea, of how each of his or her family members would react to a situation. Yet they may have a love/hate emotion towards one another. This is because their elven nature brings them close, while their demonic nature causes a more chaotic and rebellious need, that it may be difficult to work together. As a result, fey'ri society is based on power, love, and fear. The power to make your commands obeyed, love, brings loyalty towards your race, and fear that your superiors could destroy you if you fail to comply. Royal House Dlardrageth is the oldest house of the Fey'ri race. However, it is likely you'll see the fey'ri scattered across Faerûn, creating their own pockets of power, wants & needs, possibly accompanied by near-adult offspring. Most fey'ri became sorcerers, wizards, druids, rogues, or fighters. Fey'ri considers their bloodline to be very important and prides themselves on being able to trace it back to their House or the daemonfey. In the Dlardrageth Kingdom, Polygamy is legal. This means that breeding typically only occurred with other fey'ri, daemonfey, demons, devils, or sun elves. There may be other types of Fey'ri in or outside of Faerun other than those allied with Kingdom Dlardrageth, but since the likelihood of an elf other than Sun Elf breeding with a demon /devil is small, such an individual would be just as unique. Who's to say, some Fey'ri didn't breed with other elven races, those born never knowing their true heritage.

Life of Power 

Most fey'ri live for power and to feel superior to all other races (as befits their lineage, which ties them to the ancient elven kingdoms that predate human civilization). While their plans for power unfold, they wish to restore the glory of the elven empires. A fey'ri is patient, calculating, and suspicious but their fiendish blood makes them long for power. Power can be many things, such as knowledge, titles, marriages, strength, endurance. 

History of Sun elves 

Sun elves have a high opinion of themselves and as a race feel that they were the chosen people of Corellon Larethian himself, selected to protect the traditions and culture of the Tel-quessir but in spite of this, most sun elves did feel much of an affection for their brethren, the moon elves, although in a way that could often seem patronizing. Sun elves generally saw moon elves as immature and irresponsible children who, although amusing, needed to be constantly reminded of their duties to the greater Tel-quessir family.

Interestingly, sun elves were often on better terms with the Avariel, Blood, Copper, Drow, Eladrin, Grugach, High, Shadow, Pallid, Sea, Shadar-kai, Sylvan, Void, Wood, Zendikar (Any Nation).

Sun elves were less amiable towards the wild elves, whom they felt were in need of "civilizing." Of all the Tel-quessir,  however, sun elves viewed the aquatic elves the most positively, seeing them as their equals and partners in spreading Tel-quessir culture across Toril.

Castle Dlardrageth 

Castle Dlardrageth was originally a sun elf kingdom in Cormanthor, a powerful family in ancient Arcorar until they chose to breed with demons, courting various types of Tanar'ri, in an attempt to strengthen their line and gain the power necessary to seize the lands, rebuilding the ruin of Aryvandaar. They were discovered by the Coronal and their kingdom was weakened over time due to war with moon elves controlled by Lady Ilira Nathalan. The captured Fey'ri were imprisoned magically inside Arcorar's keep, but as peace was made and a treaty was signed, they were released. Some Fey'ri went to ancient Siluvanede, where they gained some control over other houses. The Dlardrageth tower near Myth Drannor was rebuilt and is now used as a college mainly for the Fey'ri, teaching them about their heritage, culture, society, and training. It's been over 400 hundred years since the kingdom was responsible for the evil acts of domination. Houses of Aelorothi, Ealoeth, Floshin, Reithel, Sharrven, Yesve, and several others in Faerun are loyal Fey'ri houses. The emblem of the Kingdom Dlardrageth is a dracophoenix.

Fey'ri (Sun Elf & Abyssal) Traits

The race & subrace traits are based around a blend of Elf and Tieflings traits.

Fey'ri Traits

Your Dexterity score increases by 1, and your Charisma score increases by 1.

Age

Fey'ri physical maturity at a slower rate than humans do, reaching physical adulthood at the age of 72. Emotional maturity may depend on worldly experience but is typically claimed around the age of 100. Thanks to their abyssal bloodline they are able to live 4x longer than a normal elf would. Giving them a total lifespan of 3,000 years old, to which they appear the same as they did at the age of 72.

Alignment

The Fey'ri love freedom, knowledge, and power, but their fiendish blood gives this a sinister bent. They are typically chaotic neutral but some hear an echo of their elven heritage pulling them to a neutral good or chaotic good. 

Size

Fey'ri range from under 5ft to 7ft tall, and typically have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30.

Darkvision

Thanks to both sides of your heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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.

Hellish Resistance: Your fiendish blood grants you resistance to one of the following: Fire, Cold, or Lightning damage. (Simular to that of a tiefling)

Fey Legacy: You manifest traits from your Elven heritage

• Keen Senses: You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
• Fey Ancestry: You have an advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
• Trance: Elves 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.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, Abyssal (Script Infernal), and Infernal (Royal ONLY, If DM approved). Individuals often learn Gnoll, Sylvan, and Goblin because of the creatures they trade with that live in the High Forest. Fey'ri spellcasters usually learn Draconic to acquire magic from old sources. All fey'ri are literate.

Forest Fey'ri

You and several other fey'ri families live in the deep woodlands of the world and have acclimated themselves to live in harmony with the forest and its denizens. These fey'ri may have a darker, coppery, or even light greenish tint to their skin as well as their hair and eyes. Their limbs are usually longer and muscled, giving them the illusion of a hunting feline as they stalk and hunt in their woods.  Growing up in the forest grants you the following additional traits.

Ability Score Increase: Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Fleet of Foot: Your graceful limbs give you a base walking speed of 35 feet.

Mask of the Wild: You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.

Royal Fey'ri

You are a Prince or Princess of Royal House Dlardrageth. This means your parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents sit on the throne and control Kingdom Dlardrageth. Historically, a royal fey'ri will be tasked to pursue the arcane arts and preparing to lead as King or Queen. However, due to the Fey'ri living to almost 3,000 years old, it is very unlikely you'll rule over Kingdom Dlardrageth anytime soon. It's very likely will be placed in an arranged marriage to a sibling or first cousin. Did you forget that the fey'ri are POWER HUNGRY! The royals would never allow strangers outside their "pure" bloodline to gain control of the Dlardrageth kingdom. No need to worry about genetic disorders, thanks to your fiendish heritage give you immunity to such disease. Being a Royal Fey'ri grants you the following racial traits.

Ability Score Increase: Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

Immune: Disease  

Cantrip: You know one cantrip of your choice from the wizard spell list. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it.

Extra Language: You can speak, read, and write one extra language of your choice.
