{{{description}}} The samovila (sah-moh-vee-lah) is based on a creature common in the folklore of Serbia and Bulgaria. Samovilas are ascribed a plethora of different abilities in different sources, and this interpretation includes only some of them. Inscrutable Archfey. Samovilas resemble tall, regal elven women with translucent radiant wings, wearing angelic garments of many colors. Their unnerving features—mismatched eyes, abnormally long hair, or cloven feet—are a constant reminder of their otherworldly nature, though they usually hide their true appearance while dealing with lesser mortals. Samovilas hold incredible power within the faerie courts, and most other fey creatures accept their dominion out of reverence or fear. Embodying both nurturing and destructive aspects of nature, samovilas can be motherly guardians of the fey and benevolent helpers of mortals—or heartless taskmistresses exploiting their kin to suit their vanity and menacing mortal races with destruction. An especially powerful samovila could be a warlock’s Archfey patron. Ladies of Drought and Harvests. Most samovilas control water-wells, plants, and soil. In accordance with their nature, kind or cruel, samovilas use their magical abilities to either bolster all things that grow or despoil them by draining water and spreading wildfires, representing the capricious whims of the elements. Humans and other races that depend on agriculture fear the ire of a samovila and will often do her bidding, lest a sudden drought wipe out their crops or a forest fire destroy their homes. Likewise, in the Feyrealm, dryads and treants live in constant awe of samovilas but resent their power and seek to undermine it.
