Faechilds

First faechilds came from bonds between mortals and spirits . In days past, when a faechild was born, it was seen as a blessing from Val and the child was revered. These days, while there are still mortals bonding with spirits, faechilds are much more common.

Faechilds are a carefree, whimsical folk, natural magic manipulators, and great artists and inventors with a gift of imagination.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

Faechilds are humanoids, often with pearlescent skin and shining eyes. Their features, however, greatly vary depending on who their spirit ancestor was. They can be anything from petite figures with slight animal features to tall, burly folk with bark instead of skin.

Genetics and Reproduction

Faechilds, unlike other mutated spirits, are fertile. As for having another faechild, there is only a chance of a child being a faechild if one of the parents is mortal, while it is always a faechild if both parents are as well.

Civilization and Culture

History

Faechilds don't have their own nation, culture, or a common history. They have always lived among other races or in the wild. Due to the rare circumstances of their creation, there have often been only a single faechild in a village, if any. They were always revered, loved, educated, and took leadership positions within their community. Rightfully so, as they are fiercely intelligent, naturally adept weavers, loyal, and charismatic.

Before the Thaumic War, faechilds were the most numerous group that helped form the Valliance, a rebel group keen on stopping the use of Thaumaturgy. During the war many of them were killed.

Today, while they are a minority within the Academy, they are also an integral part of it. They act as curators and mediators of peace and anti-thaumic laws in south of Valessia or are in the forefront of technological, scientific, and cultural progress. Some are still rumoured to work with remnants of the Valliance to completely rid the world of thaumaturgy.
