Fae



Fae (sing. faerie) are a race of magical beings with the ability to wield magic in all of its various forms. There are many subspecies of fae which can be found all over the world, although they are mostly found in the Fae Kingdom and rarely appear in front of humans.

History
Throughout time, the fae have normally kept to themselves, spending their time amongst themselves and nature. Their interactions with humans grew less and less as human society evolved. Fae distanced themselves as science became more relevant than faith. As a result, the fae even became bitter and resentful of humans moving away from nature and magic, growing hateful towards the human race as a whole as time passed.

When witches were born, fae came to them readily, enticing them to leave the humans and come live among the fae. The two got along well thanks to their magic connection and the fae grew to love and adore the witches who cherished them in turn. Thanks to this closeness, the fae were easy to convince to fight alongside them against humans. The witches used their grudge against humanity to persuade them to fully accept their violent tendencies and join the war. The fae were perhaps a more intimidating force to reckon with throughout the bloody conflict.

Once the Gods descended and sided with the humans, though, the war quickly came to an end. The fae lost interest in fighting anymore, having lost many of their own, and returned to their homes. However, with witches free to live as they pleased now, they and some fae decided to create entire towns and cities to live amongst each other. As well, with the tenuous peace falling over the land, the fae decided to limit their interactions with humans so as to avoid any further conflict.

Sprite
Sprites are humanoid creatures bearing several non-human characteristics. They are known for their mischievousness, but also for being uniquely benevolent for fae. Sprites are the most widely known faerie by humans due to so many appearing before them to play tricks.

Grimm
Grimm are creatures born from the collection of shadows. There are very few sightings of them near civilization and even other fae rarely see them. In these sightings, it's witnessed that they can take the form of both man and beast.

Trivia
