Feyborn (Gnomes, Halflings, and More)

The smaller folk—gnomes, halflings, and others touched by fey magic—are all descendants of the ancient fey lords of Nytheris. They are bound to the world's magic in subtle ways, often displaying a deep connection to luck, illusion, or nature. Many Feyborn possess an innate charm or mischievous streak, inherited from their fey ancestors. Their small stature belies their large impact on the world.

Despite their whimsical nature, Feyborn have long suffered from being underestimated. Their diminutive size and playful demeanor disguise a cunning intellect and sharp instincts. Gnomes, in particular, are known for their mastery of runes, alchemy, and ancient fey artifacts.

The Feyborn play a significant role in Aeloria, often acting as tricksters, artisans, or seers. Their connection to the fey gives them unique perspectives and insights, making them valuable allies in the fight against darkness. Despite their small size, they are capable of great feats and play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the world.
