The Fae

The Fae are as old as life itself, they were born from the primordial vapors in a time before the Searing reshaped the surface of the world, rebirthing it through fire. The Fae survived this catastrophe and persisted, creating new life in forms never before seen.

The Fae are spirits of nature and life, they live a carefree existence of revelry, debauchery, and mischief in the Faewilds.

The Courts of the Fae
Classically the fae were described as belonging to "courts" the Summer Court, the Winter Court, the Spring Court, and the Autumn Court. Nowadays the field of venery is more refined, and classifications are more specific however the classical names inform on the modern kith classifications of the Danu Sidhe; Aestival, Brumal, Vernal, and Autumnal.

Though the Danu Sidhe are more likely than lesser fae to be constrained by these definitions all fae large and small fall under the dominant cycles of the courts.

The Faebrood
The essence of the Fae is formless, much like celestial spirits, however, unlike their celestial brethren, they are forced by their very nature as spirits of life to take on corporeal form when they manifest in the corporeal world. Some of the more powerful Fae have more sway over the form they take, and other smaller fae have less power over their forms, often settling into classifiable forms, such as gnomes, sprites, naga, and satyr. Even further, there are those creatures which began as fae and have lost the ability to easily traverse back into life in the wilds, these beasts, such as owlbears, and unicorns.
