Faerie Elf

Physical Description


A vague comparison between the Chaotic and Tranquil Factions

Faerie elves are roughly the same height as gnomes but weigh roughly 25 to 60 lbs. Faeries tend to have more vibrant eye colors of shimmering greens, blues, and reds. They have a pair of transparent wings that allow them to fly. Other than that they look like most wood elves.

History

Although not many people have seen these crossbreeds, the faerie elf is a mixture of a elf and a fey. They tend to keep their societies and culture hidden from public view. Faerie elves are known to have many conflicts within their society, from what little has been observed. They tend to have very different views of other races and cultures. There are two primary groups, or "Factions", the faeries tend to choose from, and both come with their own set of special traits and physical appearances. There is the Chaotic faction of faerie elves. Their views of other races tend to be more negative and the Faeries of this faction tend to be more violent-minded. These faeries are more focused on their brute strength rather than magic. The second group is known as the Tranquil faction. They tend to view other races equally to their own and are more keen on having open relationships with others. The Tranquil faction tends to focus more on nature magic, similar to a druid.

Society

Faerie elves tend to keep to themselves and tend to hide from other outside sources, mainly due to the harsh discrimination and prejudice their ancestors have experienced. They are buried deep within forests and caves and have a strong sense of family. They tend to have a hard time developing new relations with others, especially if they're neither fey, elf, or faerie. The ones who do leave the villages tend to be brave adventurers determined to prove the old ways are over.

Faerie Elf Names

Faerie Elves tend to take their name after elf or fey names. It's recorded that some Faerie's names are of exotic plants.

Fairy Wings. You have a pair of light, transparent wings that grant you a fly speed of 30-feet allowing you a certain degree of flight. However, these wings can only fly up to a height of 30 feet, any higher and they fail until you are 30 feet above the ground again. You lose your flying speed until you complete a short or long rest if they are directly exposed to water.

gollark: The mostly irrelevant village I live in has had 4G connectivity for a year or so, which is nice. I wish they'd roll that out more rather than overhyping pointless 5G.

gollark: The law is with you as long as few enough people start saying wrong things™ on the internet (or, well, specifically your platform) that people start complaining a lot. Public opinion might not be. The issue with making a new less-moderated version of something is that it inevitably attracts a few people who genuinely care about free speech a lot, and probably a lot who want to say terrible/stupid things somewhere.

gollark: My website is very size-optimized and does a lot of caching.

gollark: I have 34Mbps up, 8Mbps down, which is not ideal but usable.

gollark: Some people don't even have a publicly routable IP.
