Fey

Fey 1 are soul-bearing ✝ supernatural creatures originating from soul energy in the First World. While effectively immortal in the First World, they still have mortal souls, if of a different nature than those of the Universe. They cannot die without extremely powerful magic, and simply reform from the matter of the First World after some variable amount of time. 2 3 From dryads and satyrs to gremlins and nuckelavees, fey are varied beyond imagination. 4

Culture Fey creatures can often have customs that are unintentionally murderous to outsiders due to their immortality in the First World. They see death as a nebulous thing that rarely has real consequence. 5

While no one can truly rule the First World, the most powerful fey are known as the Eldest, who command great respect and influence. 2

Many fey in the Verduran Forest play a team sport called Prismati. 6

Fey bargains Fey sometimes make magical agreements, fey bargains, in which they imbue the trade partner with limited supernatural power in exchange for something that is always unusual and personal, such as the first syllable of the person's name, or the ability to see the moon. Breaking such a bargain brings a significant curse upon the oath-breaker, and attempting to end the bargain prematurely always heightens its cost. Bestowed magical powers always are of the primal tradition, and the more powerful a fey, the more potent its boon. 7
