Main > Compendia > Creatures > Fey

This category enumerates the varieties and some individuals of the native race of Pelithos.

Overview

Fey (Commontongue), also Tuatha (Feytongue \tuˈwɔθə\ for people), idiomatically from fated, referring to their apparent immortality.

History

The Fey came into existence during the early Dark Age, when many of the Elves of Pelithos migrated across The Strange Sea to escape the Endless Night. They found the realm of Arcadia and settled there, and changed into the Fey.

Cosmology

Fey are the only known race of Mortals becoming wholly Strange in their nature, unlike Obyrith who were originally Servitors before becoming creatures of Strange.

Society

Fey society is broken into two groups:

Bright Fey, also Tuatha De Danann (Feytongue \tuˈwɔθə%20deɪ%20dænən\ for people from Danu)
Bleak Fey, also Aos Si (Feytongue \is%20ʃi\ for children of the mound)

These twin societies co-exist in a strange form of constructive antagonism.

Ecology

Fey have peculiar, illogical appetites, unique to each race. For example, Cakelings exist entirely on cakes and pastries, while Candykin exist entirely on candy. Fey do not need to sleep, instead going through life in a perpetual half-dreamlike state. If they are killed, they do not follow an Integral migration of souls through The Crucible. Instead, they fade away into Strange, only to emerge from Dreams later, usually with little to no memory of who they were.
