Powrie
The Powrie are one of the nine major Arak races. On the whole, the Powrie are sadistic, chaotic evil fey that partake in murder and torture for the sheer joy of it. So great is their enjoyment of spilling blood that they also known as redcaps due to their blood-soaked caps, although they should not be confused with the equally murderous sylvan fey of the same name. Despite their wanton love for inflicting pain and death, the Powrie nonetheless never break the Law of Arak by killing their fellow Arak , with a but single notable exception in the history of the Arak.
The Powries’ abilities for stealth and sabotage make them superb spies as well as professional murderers. It should come as no surprise the Powrie are part of the Unseelie Court . Princess Malinda is their current leader. Their previous leader, Jozell, was blamed for the murder of Tristessa and thus punished with the great exile of the Shunning.

Basic Information
Behaviour
Powries take to combat from the shadows, using a combination of guile, illusion, stealth, and every dirty trick imaginable to strike their foes or victims at their weakest. A powie strikes using its sharp teeth and with tiny daggers. A powrie's bite delivers a blinding poison, and it may also place other poisons on its daggers. Powrie have numerous special attacks at their command: a deafening shriek and a rictus grin so horrific it inspires fear.
Powrie demonstrate a physical resiliency against weapons, save for those made of platinum or of sufficient magical strength to harm them. They also enjoy total immunity to electricity and weapons made of steel. However, powrie retain the universal shadow fey vulnerability to sunlight.
