Fairy

Fairies or Faeries are a race of graceful and delicate beings with magical powers. They are (mostly) benevolent, and live in both Daventry and Etheria.

Background
Fairies are said to live hundreds of years, but must spend one day of each week in the form of some animal - a bird or a dolphin for instance.

Fairies can be tall or tiny in form, but they are almost always winged and good. Major fairies are about the height of humans and some have butterfly wings. They can appear and disappear as apparitions. They have powers with their magic wands and (at least in the case of Genesta) talismans. While they are immune to time and age, therefore practically immortal, if they loose their talisman, their powers and life is at stake. They like to help people with their magic, but some, like Lolotte choose to be evil.

Genesta is the Queen of the Fairies in Daventry, and Culatha is the Queen of fairies of the Old Wood. In Eldritch the Faeries are ruled by Oberon and Titania.

Another kind of fairies are of small size, always flying, and never talk. They seem to serve and help the major fairies.

Sometimes the term fairy kingdom can include elves as well.

In Daventry fairies are usually called "fairy", in Eldritch (and etheria), they are usually called "faerie".

In Daventry, the poor man's idea of a great tale involved a tradesman or poor farmer falling in with a fairy and thus gaining a fortune overnight.

Woodland Fairies of the Old Wood view time in aeons rather than years.
