Curwesta Pixie (5e Race)

Curwesta Pixie

"Someone was playing with house in the forest for some reason and just left their toys there like a spoiled brat, but none of the people in the village is rich enough to even buy a set" -Villager A

Physical Description

With their long slender bodies, pointy ears, and how they dress themselves, they can be mistaken for Elves if they weren't so small. A Curwesta Pixie is only up to 9 inches tall with 6 being the smallest. They also have only up to shoulder length hair since they work in the forge. Originally they are simple elves so they don't have much difference but because of this, they have trouble just about doing anything due to their small size. They instead make up for this with their expertise in technology. They developed an implant in their bodies, a crystal that allows them to summon Wings that look like fire shooting out from their back. It can only be activated with a limit though. They implant also allows them to move quickly. The implant allows them to jump up to 1 foot high in order to not burden the implant too much with the wings

History

Some Elves decided to take care of a baby dragon that all of the Fey they knew told them to kill instead. With the anger of the Feys, these elves were shrunk to the size they are today. No one really knows what happened after but they suddenly reappeared after a couple hundred of years branding themselves as Pixies with a knack of making fascinating weaponry and armour. They even surpassed the dwarves who were known for their work, but not without consequence. All of their work seems to run on some sort of unknown energy and once ran out would be nothing more but dead weight. Even so, they were sought out for their skills, nevertheless good things don't last forever. Their Plane of Existence has been torn to shred due to a Dragon whom sought destruction to all. A Dragon far more powerful than anyone's imagination. All the technologies of this race is lost forever... Or so we thought

Society

Their society is mysteriously similar to dwarves, living in Caves and fully immersing themselves their crafts, They are also heavy drinkers for their size. They are a merry folk who are nothing but Honest people who strives to keep their promises hence their own cities is fairly advanced compared to others albeit very small so no visitors who stays over usually. And because they are absorbed in their crafts, they usually have a Forge somewhere which could fit in at least 5 gargantuan creatures in order to create their Works and to show off to people who might visit their place by accident or intentionally. Some people also say that they don't just live in caves and claim they've seen them create their cities in various other places, but we're unable to verify that because they say it's they located in often dangerous and difficult to reach places where Smiths won't be able to survive.
