Editing Harem Knights: Races (section)

==Fey==
Fey are an otherworldy set of creatures who are probably more magical than all the other species of the new world put together. Each member is a creature of magic, of chaos, of trickery, and strangely enough, of rules. What these rules are, and when they apply, seems to change from Fey to Fey, time to time, and situation to situation, to the point where one might think the Fey were making them up as they go along.

Fey can look like just about anything, but they tend to have humanoid forms, rarely clock in as taller than 10 feet, and seem to favor insectoid features over others for their smallest ranks, and other "natural" (which is to say, drawing from nature, not simply animalistic) features for larger specimens. 

Though many things are disputed of the Fey, including how to spell the word, everyone agrees that they can be split into two "groupings"

;Unseelie / Winter Court: They favour cooler colours and pale tones.  The personalities are more harsh and violent, and they take joy in feeling the pain or causing the pain of others.  Think negative, and you'll think Unseel.  Do not confuse them for evil, they take precedence in causing muted emotions, but do not bring it, claiming that they set the spark while their victims fanned the flames.

;Seelie / Summer Court: They favour warmer colours and bright tones.  The personalities are more bubbly and "hippy", and they take joy in spreading positive emotions of delight and such.  Think positive, and you'll think Seel.  Do not confuse them for good, they will make people fall in love and bring laughter, no matter who is trampled in the cross-fire.  Like Helen of Troy and Romeo and Juliet, remember how those romances turned out?

Some evidence exists which suggests that both Courts were once a single unit, which they refuse to acknowledge, even when bound with geas of obedience.  The evidence can be found in their anthem/song "Star-Studded Sovereign" and the rare oath "By the Sovereign!".  No further evidence of such an individual has proven concrete, and it provides the simple excuse for many a travelling Fey "I seek my Sovereign".

They do not seem to need food, water, or even sleep, though they have desires, and seek out endlessly to meet them. They are effectively immortal unless killed by some method, and even then, they can only be truly destroyed by even more arcane methods, such as the Blade of King Nesserus the Feybane, or the First Magic described in the Clover Journals.  Or throwing them into a Mountain Heart, that'll show 'em.

Other terms of note:

;Wilde Hunts: When large collections of Fey gather, its either to discuss some unfathomable matter or to pull one of these.  They choose some poor and unfortunate target whose only requirement is to be interesting, whether it be a baker born with green eyes and red hair or a chaste wizard past his prime.  The target need not be an individual, the Fey have gathered armies to declare Hunts on sorcerers, cities, and at one point, clouds.  For all participating mortals, standard rules apply that if you can outlast a day and a night, Fey will grant you a boon.

;Silver Ships: Though rarely do they venture out of their Realms without ceremony, the Fey that take to the seas are able bodied in their seamanship.  The magnificent vessels they craft from shining light and silver moonbeams (more likely metal and wood) are said to weather any storm and pass o'er any wave.  Some suggest these Silver Ships have been sighted cresting the desert dunes, or riding the current of the wind.  They are also fond of abducting travellers and forcing them to entertain the crew to pay for their "voyage".

;Dullahan: A headless fey said to be the harbinger of death. It carries it's severed head which allows it to have extended sight. They are said to control a horse drawn carriage with headless horses, or ride a singular headless horse. It will only say one thing on each journey, and that is the name of who is to die, that is also it's method of execution as well, as upon saying the name of the soon to be departed it draws the soul away from the body. Little is known as to who they truly serve. They are rather fearful of Gold, so carrying a gilded object will scare it off.
