The Fae
in The FaelandsFae (faerla in their ancestral tongue) are otherworldly creatures that are the embodiment of nature personified. Throughout history, humans have viewed fae with a mix of awe and disdain. Many lesser fae developed prankish habits, and some had more sinister reputations, but for the most part they acted no different than was their nature. Wind nymphs of the Court of Light were often flighty and carefree, while the viridian knights of the Summer Court were saint-like pillars of staunch nobility. While the Faelands were still fully open to the human world, fae often traveled to and from human lands at their own whim, following the urging of their nature.
WILD FAE & COURT FAE
There are two types of fae: court fae and wild fae. Court fae directly serve the court they belong to. They are free to travel throughout the Faelands, though beyond their court's territory their strength is diminished. Every court fae serves a specific purpose in their court, only deviating from it as their King wills.
Wild fae, on the other hand, embody aspects of nature that are tempestuous and often uncontrollable. They do not directly serve their court, and are bound to their personal territory. Wild fae rarely leave their territory and can be fiercely protective of it, and although still connected loosely to a specific court, wild fae that live along the borderlands are have a much easier time crossing between territories.
