Culture and Cultural Heritage

Nixies are raised to sing when they learn, work, and play. They have a song for every occasion and eagerly learn the songs of other races. Bards sometimes trade or render service to nixies in exchange for lessons in singing or the opportunity to learn a rare song. Nixies enjoy singing for others, but choose which song they sing carefully, believing that certain songs of particularly sentimental value should only be sung to close friends or family.
Nixies count dryads and pixies as their closest kin among other races native to the Feywild. While nixies share dryads’ concern for the natural world, nixies are more like pixies in their love of peace and exhibit the same friendly demeanor. In the natural world, nixies prefer to settle in bodies of freshwater close to friendly humanoid settlements. Nixies do this primarily for the protection these settlements afford them, but also because nixies are a curious people who enjoy striking up trade and friendships with outsiders.
As a rule, nixies prefer the comfort and safety of home to the excitement of travel and adventure. Nixies most often take up the life of an adventurer because their home is being threatened by something other nearby races cannot overcome. While the ongoing peace of their home is usually the motivation to adventure, a nixie who has forged a strong friendship with a humanoid of another race might join that friend on their travels. With their reluctance to face unnecessary danger and their small stature, nixies almost never go off adventuring alone, preferring to work in groups with other humanoids
