Sidhe

The Sidhe (pronounced shee) are the most powerful faery creatures, and as such they are the rulers of the Otherworld. 
Iron is a toxic mineral to the Sidhe; one of the only rules that all three Sidhe queens agree on is that iron is forbidden in the Otherworld. It burns their skin on contact, an proximity to iron weakens their powers.

Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction

Of all the magical species and races, the Sidhe are the only creatures that can interbreed with other magical beings (or humans) to result in half-Sidhe hybrids.

Growth Rate & Stages

Sidhe are functionally immortal - they will never die of sickness or old age, however they can be killed during battle or assassinated. Because the Sidhe are able to glamour their appearance, it is nearly impossible to determine a Sidhe's true age by looks alone.

Additional Information

Social Structure

There are three Sidhe Courts, each one is ruled over by a queen. The queens are the absolute rulers of their realms within the Otherworld, and hold power of life and death over their subjects.

Facial characteristics

Whether naturally or via glamours, Sidhe are remarkably beautiful creatures, with delicate bone structure, and long pointed ears.

Average Intelligence

Sidhe are without exception vastly intelligent, far more than most humans.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

The Sidhe are incredibly powerful magic wielders, and the queens especially exhibit almost god-like power. Some of their powers include:

• Compulsion, far stronger and more long lasting than any witch or vampire.
• Glamours - they can completely change their own appearance at will.
• Illusions - they can cast full and complete illusions over their surroundings at will.
• Telepathy - they have the ability to invade a person's mind against their will, however they need to be within close proximity of their target.
• Healing, both of themselves and of others.
• Song spells - they can sing their will into being via specialised songs.
• Light manipulation - they can brighten or darken any space, can heat up their light to cause fire, can emit a light blast to knock an enemy back, can summon a blinding light, and can bend light to cause temporary invisibility of a person or object.
