Faerykin

I.B.2. Faerykin

The Faerykin are the races of sentient humanoids who are descended from the legendary faey. Faerykin have to distinct general categories: Elf and Gnome.

Elves, or Alfar as they are properly known, are slender, graceful creatures. They have been known to craft great enchantments, and to be cunning and skilled warriors. More commonly, they are known as great poets, singers, and dancers. The Alfar are divided into a number of races, each with distinct traits and history, but with differences that are far more cultural and historical than biological.

Gnomes, or the Havesti as they are properly known, are dimunitive, stocky creatures with clever hands and eyes. The Havesti are more in touch with the secular world than are most alfar. Gnomes are clever antagonist, not known for great offensives or battles, but well known as loyal friends and allies. They feel far more willing to treat humans or goblinkin as equals.
