Author's Notes
Faen are not elves. They take inspiration from the elves in Norse Mythology, but are not elves. They are an ancient humanoid race of Fey that came from the Great Wilds of a far off realm in the cosmos (the name "Faen" is derived from "Fae, Fey". I did not want to use elves because so many people have used them already and I didn't want to rip off Tolkien's version of elves. Other inspiration for the Faen are the Lefeinish from the original Final Fantasy (It was coincidence that their name's were so similar).
