General Information

There are as many names for the fair folk as there are cultures in the world - fae (and all its derivations), fairy (and all its derivations), fianna, sídhe, síth, elves, sprites, spirits and on and on. The fae often live in realms hidden from other species, also known as Fairyland and cross over only to dole out favor or fury. The fae are widely regarded as tricksters. Any interactions with them should be treated with extreme caution and entering deals with them is inadvisable.

Some fae delight in tricking non-fae into eating their food, trapping the victims in the fae realm forever. Others will coax non-fae into playing mundane games with dire consequences.

Courts

The fae are governed by various different courts, each of which have their own traditions and values. Each different fae court has its own identity and associations, which effect everything from their aesthetics to the way they govern their people, though "govern" may be an inaccurate description in some cases. The most prominent of these courts are the Seelie and Unseelie Courts, but there are many others.

Each court has its own monarchy, which creates unique laws for their subjects, as well as anyone else in their territory

Are Fae Monsters?

Some prominent scholars believe that the Fae could be considered their own "subtype" of monster, at least from the perspective of humanity. However, it is likely that the traditional "barbaric" monsters would not agree with that assessment. There are many key differences between fae and monster-kind, mostly how they choose to act and where they hail from.

Appearance

Appearances of the fae vary wildly. Many of them appear human, or almost human to outsiders. Many choose not to conform for the comfort of other humanoid species, and present as their natural forms. They are often marked by distinctions of their sub-species.
