(Also known as Wee Folk,
the Good Neighbors, Them Ones, the Strangers, the Little People,
the
Fair Folk, the Forgetful Ones, the Hidden Folk, Mother's
Blessing, the
Lovlings, the Night Folk, the Little Darlings, the Protectors,
Fey Folk,
and, vulgarly, Fairies)
The Primes Jujinka and
Ahroth are responsible for the existence of all Fey Folk. It is
said
that the two Primes touched their hands and the sparks that fell
upon
the seedlings and the tiny stones below were imbued with magical
life.
For this, the ElvenFurres honor Jujinka (whom they call the
Green
Mother) and Ahroth (whom they call the Bearded Father) above all
other
Primes.
All FeyFurres receive the
Advantage "Very Graceful" as part of the "package
deal" of being a Faerie Furre. They receive fluency in
their own
language, "Glimmerish", in addition to fluency in
Kasurian.
They also automatically receive a Disadvantage, depending on
their Ilk.
The Ilks ("Types") of
Fey (also called "Elementals")
The Fey are the ancestors of the Elven-Furres. They call
themselves "The Firstborn" because they were a thriving lot long
before the Dragonlands were settled by mortals. They appear
all over the Dragonlands now but the greatest concentration of
them is the Olde World because Kasuria and Drakoria's Mages
tended to take advantage of them and bully them. The Fey
avoid mortal society because it confuses them.
Kitterwing Shee
These tiny,
insect-winged
Furre sprites are only nine inches tall! These are the very
first
FeyFurres and many of them lived in Jujinka's realm, the Great
Garden.
Kitterwings are not born: they're magically generated in
especially
pristine and beautiful beaches, meadows, swamps, waterfalls,
mountainsides, etc. Kitterwings are naturally shy and must avoid
places
with more than 3 non-FaerieFurres present.
Talents
- Winged
Flight
- Transformation
Kitterwings may transform into ElvenFurres that are about a
head
shorter than the average Furre. It doesn't happen as a
transformation, as with Lycanthians; it's a sudden change
accompanied by an distinct "pop" sound. They can
only do
so when out of a complex or stressful situation such as
combat.
The child of
a Kitterwing Shee and a Lycanthian will have a
Kawaii form.
AGE: Player
character Kitterwings may claim to be any age up to
6000 years, but receive no extra skills for this.
- Uneducated (*)
Kitterwings don't grow up; they appear as
diminutive full grown adults or children, and they never
change.
They didn't spend time as students in school or apprentices
at a
trade or doing chores on a farm. It's a hallmark of their
Ilk that
they truly hate to *learn*.
The
Childlings
If a Kitterwing grows fond of a particular terrain feature,
then an
Childling may one day appear there. Childlings are two or
three
heads shorter than a regular Furre, and may be mistaken for
a child
at a distance. Once in speaking-range, though, it becomes
very clear
that this is no Furreling child. There are four kinds, and
their
physical appearance strongly reflects an affiliation with an
element. All Childlings love nature, preferring the outdoors
over
indoors.
- Silfs (Air
Elementals)Silfs are extremely rare. They can levitate
a few inches off the ground and can move at walking speed.
They can
cross lakes this way.
- Undeens (Water
Elementals)Undeens can breathe water and swim twice
as fast as they walk. Some even have gills, webbed paws,
etc.
- Salamanths
(Fire Elementals)Salamanths can not be hurt by heat or
flame. They are famed for their beautiful hair.
- Nomes
(Earth Elementals)Nomes are the most wildly varying
FaerieFurres. They can be portly, wirey, homely, handsome.
Nomes can
smell metals the way Furres can smell fruits. This allows
them to
hide treasure and find it back.
Talents
- Featherfall
(*) Elementals are immune to damage from falling. They
always land on their feet.
- Camouflage (*)
This is not invisibility, nor can it be used to
dodge combat. It's being inconspicuous. The Camouflaged
Elemental
adds "HID" to the end of their name. If there is
anybody
besides the Elemental present, then they will not be noticed
unless
they directly interact. Somebody who is HID should be
ignored. NOTE:
This ability is only to be used in Public areas or in one's
own
Dream.
- Affinity (*)
Every Elemental has some object or location that's
special to them because it's where they originated. An
Elemental
killed at that location will reappear at that location after
one
sunrise and one sunset!
To spot a
Camouflaged Elemental who's alone requires you to ROLL
2d10.
Outdoors your target number is:
(WITS+DETECTIVE_BONUS-8) or
(SURVIVAL_BONUS-2).
Indoors you must use:
(WITS+DETECTIVE_BONUS-8) or
(WITS+STREETWISE_BONUS-8).
Disadvantages
- Fragile
(*) They are ill-suited for unarmed martial arts; the
joints of their long limbs are easily dislocated, their ribs
easily
shattered.
Talents
- Lightfoot (*)
(The opposite of the Vampfurre Evil Way called
Ghostpaw) This power works only on green grass or other
living
plants. The Dahna Shee can walk across the tops of the
plants, not
leaving any tracks or scent. They don't even disturb the
shimmering
morning dew with their passage.
- Passing (*) Of
all the FaerieFolk, only Dahna Shee can pass for
mortal Furres. To accomplish a mortal guise, the FeyFurre
takes
fresh flowers and sprinkles the petals over their head. This
doesn't
change the FaerieFurre into a new person, it just makes them
look
like a mortal version of their usual self. This effect goes
away at
the next noon or midnight.
FeyFurre-Only Advantages
These advantages can only be bought by FaerieFurres, and
must be
bought with additional Advantage points beyond the 2 spent
to be a
FaerieFurre.
- Song of
Serenity (-1) Use of this ability causes one target to
fall into an unnaturally deep sleep. A roll of 2d10 is made.
On a 12
or higher the target falls asleep. On a Fumble, the FeyFurre
themself falls asleep. This sleep lasts until one noon and
one
midnight have passed. If the victim is kissed by someone of
royal
blood (someone with Pedigree Great House) the spell is
broken.
- Serenade of
Serenity (-3) This is like Song of Serenity except it
can be used on up to 5 targets at once.
