-ENCYCLOPEDIA DIVINE:FEY MAGIC

The fey – also known as faerie, or fair folk – are some of the most misunderstood creatures in fantasy games. Some view them as harmless sprites living in the depths of sylvan woods ; others see them as vindictive creatures with limitless power who steal children and play cruel and even lethal pranks on those that cross their path. The truth, as might be expected of such an enigmatic race, is that both perspectives are sometimes accurate, although there is far more to the fey than either view would suggest.
