Fey are a series of creatures from a parallel plane, typically described as having supernatural powers related to nature. Fae, or faeries, as many liked to be called, were creatures of any size, shape, texture, or smell, that exemplified and inhabited natural wonder.
Chroniclers are split for whether fairies desired well-being or woe, and in reality both are the case. Fey were creatures connected closely to nature, and just as rain from clouds saved farmers and troubled travelers, so did fey help some and injure others. Fey were a people of many different alignments and interests, like humans are.
Those encountered in lush forests and babbling brooks, were said to be short friendly folk, with a twinkle in their eye, pronouncing wealth and good luck on those deserving. While in dark forests, or swamps, and other bleak lands rumors of Fey feasting on the bones of children, tricking travelers, or worse abound.
