Vila
Vilai are creatures of Faerie.
Basic Information

Genetics and Reproduction
Vilai reproduce sexually and are viviparous. Their gestation period is nine months. Because they are all female, vilai must reproduce with males of other races.

Culture and Cultural Heritage
Vilai traditionally have a quite martial culture. Most vilai are trained to fight from childhood, traditionally being trained in the use of the bow, spear, and sword. When they come of age, vilai are generally expected to join the military. As such, they form the backbone of the Selríochtian armies.
Vilai are raised to believe that it is their duty to protect the other races that reside in Selríocht, even if it costs them their lives. In return, they are expected to receive food, shelter, and whatever else they may require free of charge from them. In Selríocht, it is illegal to refuse any "reasonable" request made by a vila. What is "reasonable" is, of course, typically determined by the vila. Those who think that a vila is making unreasonable requests can take their complaint to a judge, but most judges side with the vila in all but the most extreme circumstances.
The few vilai that live among the Unseelie still traditionally have basic combat training but have no further expectations or special privileges.
Common Taboos
Vilai consider cowardice to be unacceptable among vilai as well as non-vilai military personnel. However, it is not considered unacceptable for non-vilai civilians and is in fact expected.
