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

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

The earliest Fey came into existence during the Shattered Age, as Elf explorers journeyed through the Verging Wild to find Arcadia and became naturalized from Integral creatures to Strange creatures. The vast majority of Fey population came into existence during the early Dark Age, however, when many of the Elves of Pelithos went upon The Midnight Road to avoid corruption from the Endless Night.

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.

Fey society is broken into two groups:

These twin societies co-exist in a strange form of constructive antagonism. Each of these societies are further divided into the seven Bright Courts and seven Bleak Courts, which govern specific races or factions of Arcadian society.

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.
