The Fae
Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Gnomes and Trolls are the Fae. Human scholars know that the Fae have several layers of courts - seasons, elemental, racial and Seelie and Unseelie. There are also demonic elder High Elves, sometimes called the The Sidereal Fae . The Sidereal ruled the lesser fae and in some places still rule, or roam causing destruction, terror and madness in accord with their desires and natures.
The Fae peoples were mostly moved to the southern territory called Summerlands, and ruled by the Seelie Court about 1000 years ago by the 6th Emperor. Small enclaves are allowed but may not be citizens. Unseelie are seen as evil monsters. Fae nobles have several layers of complexity but rank as semi-independent protectorates of the Empire. Fae nobles all bow to the Seelie King and do not get involved in Politics of the Empire. If you wish to play a changeling fae ask (some families have Fae blood, especially Esereti and around puberty will transform from human to manifest their Fae ancestry- Elf ( there are several sub types), Dwarf, Troll, Goblin, or Gnome. It is a stigma. The Unseelie frontier Is wild and considered an enemy of the Empire but neutral with the Summerlands. They are tolerated so long so they don’t trouble the Imperial Territories.
Major organizations
The Fae are divided first (or perhaps last) into racial groups:
"Elves" - Sidhe ( High elves) , Sluagh (night elves), and Pooka (wood elves).
These breeds are tall and thin, with pointed ears (Sidhe up, pooka out, Sluagh back) high cheekbones, and narrow arched brows. The clothes tend to elaborate or intricate.
"Ogres" - Trolls, Goblins.
Rough, burly, and fanged. They have pointed ears, skins in pale shades to green, brown and ebony. They prefer armor and rough clothes.
"Halflings" - Gnome, Dwarf.
Pointed ears, bearded male and female (lightly). Fancy dress or work clothes preferred.
Kithian -lesser beings - Satyrs, Faeries, hobgoblins and the like.
Next Fae are By Court:
Sealie (light, beauty, order)
Unsealie ( Power, Darkness, Chaos)
The Dark ( Given over to destruction, oblivion, death and pain)
The Grey (Neutral on Order vs Chaos, but Opposed to The Dark and Sidereal High Fae)
