Faery and other Mythic Creature Guidelines

What is a Faery?

A Faery is an ethereal creature with extreme magical sensitivity and impressive magical capability. Faeries typically live in large covens with others like them. Many mythic creatures (e.g. Unicorns, Gryphons, Phoenixes) count as Fae as well. Fae come from the spirits of nature.

Do Faeries have a second form?

No, but they can produce glamours. This means they can create an illusion that masks what they really look like. For instance, an elf could produce a glamour of a normal human to mask their ethereal bodies, or even a glamour of another Fae.

Do mythic creature have second forms?

Yes, if they please. Akin to demons, they can transform into a more human form but often retain characteristics of their original form. For instance, a Phoenix might retain wings or claws.

What are some Faery powers?

All Faeries have a specific element they draw power from, and that usually colors their talents in life and magical sensitivity. Do more research if you’re curious, but here are a few elemental examples:
Water: healing powers, divination powers
Earth: growing powers, powers of rest, most closely associated with death
Fire: healing powers, protection
Air: flight, rebirth

All Faeries have extreme magical sensitivity and use magic in their daily lives. Their elements distinctly color their power.

• Elves are human-like ethereal Fae. They control most of the Faery courts and conduct all politics with outside groups. Their elements are usually Water and Air.

• Phoenixes are mythic birds that burn down to ash and are reborn again from them. They are associated with the element Air.
  
• Gryphons are usually large cats mixed with birds of prey. They are incredibly smart and quite scholarly and highly loyal. Their elements are highly individual.

Who are the current Faery covens?

• Sol Forest Elfish Community
The only elfish community at the present, they are characterized by their devotion to their animistic religion and nature. Very regal and curt, they rarely leave the safety of the forest but to conduct treaties with other groups in the underground.

• Zephyr Herd
The last unicorn herd, these mythic horses are highly nomadic and very family-based. They are broken into several smaller bands with their own leader that answer to the main leading pair.

• Twylight Grove Pride
This gryphon pride is characterized by their loyalty to one another, their code of chivalry, and extensive knowledge. Because they are not nomadic and live as far from humans as realistically possible while remaining away from the worlds of the dead, they have created a huge community filled with libraries and gardens, perfect for any fledgling scholar.
